Computing, Robotics, and Imaging for the Surgical Platform
From: An intelligent hospital operating room to improve patient health care
Step of procedure | Event target | Sensor type |
---|---|---|
Instrument/back table setup | Instrument racks placed on table | Pressure sensing strip |
Patient brought into OR | Stretcher crossing door threshold | Pressure sensing strip |
Patient transferred to OR table | Patient weight transferred from stretcher to table | Pressure sensing strip |
Induction of anesthesia | Ventilation initiation | Small motion detection camera |
Operation | First incision | Scalpel pick up detection |
Reversal of anesthesia/extubate | Ventilator cessation | Small motion detection camera (same one as induction of anesthesia) |
Patient transferred to stretcher | Patient weight transferred from table to stretcher | Pressure sensing strip (same one as prior) |
Patient taken to recovery room | Stretcher crossing door threshold | Pressure sensing strip (same one as prior) |
Occupancy of the OR | Movement in the OR | Infrared detector |
