Table 1 Modified boezaart score scale

From: Effects of propofol versus sevoflurane on surgical field visibility during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a randomized trial

Boezaart score

Description

0

No bleeding

1

Slight bleeding requiring no electrocoagulation

2

Slight bleeding requiring occasional electrocoagulation without threatening the SFV

3

Slight bleeding requiring frequent electrocoagulation and occasional IPI to minimize the threat of bleeding to the SFV

4

Moderate bleeding requiring frequent electrocoagulation and frequent IPI to minimize the threat of bleeding to the SFV

5

Severe bleeding, with frequent electrocoagulation and frequent IPI required, and with the SFV severely threatened, and surgery not possible

  1. SFV: surgical field visibility, IPI: increased pressure irrigation
