``` Template:Infobox medical term

Amps or Amperes is a unit of electrical current in the International System of Units. In the medical field, it is often used in the context of medical devices and treatments that involve the use of electricity, such as ECG, ECT, and TMS.

Medical Usage

In medicine, amps are used to measure the electrical current passing through medical devices. This is crucial in treatments such as ECT where a controlled amount of current is passed through the brain to treat certain mental disorders. Similarly, in TMS, the current is used to stimulate certain parts of the brain.

Safety Considerations

The use of amps in medical treatments requires careful monitoring and control to ensure patient safety. Too much current can cause harm, while too little may not have the desired therapeutic effect. Therefore, medical professionals must be well-versed in the safe and effective use of electrical current in medical treatments.
