The aim of this study was to investigate the effect intraoperative targeted stretching micro breaks (TSMBs) on experienced pain and fatigue, physical functions, mental focus surgeons.Surgeons are routinely subject stresses through course their work in operating room. One factors most contributory shortening a surgeon's career is work-related its effects patient safety personal relationships.Surgeons room staff from 4 medical centers rated pain/fatigue, physical, performance using validated...
Recent literature has demonstrated ergonomic risk to surgeons in the operating room. One method used other industries mitigate these risks is incorporation of microbreaks. Thus, intraoperative microbreaks with exercises a non-crossover design were studied. Fifty-six attending from 4 Medical Centers volunteered first day their regular surgeries and then second where there that could be performed sterile field, answering questions after each case, without significantly increasing duration...
Objective: With advancements in surgical equipment and procedures, human–system interactions operating rooms affect surgeon workload performance. Workload was measured across specialties using surveys to identify potential predictors of high for future performance improvement. Summary Background Data: Surgical instrumentation technique have implications human–systems interactions. To understand improve the interaction components work system, NASA-Task Load Index can measure various fields....
The purpose of this study was to validate a commercially available inertial measurement unit (IMU) system against standard lab-based motion capture for the shoulder elevation, elbow flexion, trunk flexion/extension, and neck flexion/extension kinematics. validation analyses were applied 6 surgical faculty members performing standard, simulated training task that mimics minimally invasive surgery. Three-dimensional joint kinematics simultaneously recorded by an optical IMU with sensors placed...
Given the complexity of healthcare and 'people' nature work delivery, STSA (Sociotechnical Systems Analysis) research is needed to address numerous quality care problems observed across world. This paper describes open areas, including workload management, physical, cognitive macroergonomic issues medical devices health information technologies, in transitions care, patient-centered risk management patient safety resilience, feedback loops between event detection, reporting analysis system redesign.
Work-related pain and discomfort experienced by surgeons is widely reported in the literature. A survey was, therefore, conducted to explore this issue among members of European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES). The was emailed 2980 EAES 2017 enquiring about their working practice, musculoskeletal (MSK) burnout. total 569 (19%) responded, whom 556 were practicing surgeons; 86% consultants, 84% male, 94% right-handed. Respondents operated on average 3.3 days/week with 27% procedures...
Surgical performance, provider health, and patient safety can be compromised when workload demands exceed individual capability on the surgical team. The purpose of this study is to quantify compare intraoperative among team members.Observations were conducted for an entire day 33 participating surgeons their at one medical institution. Workload (mental, physical, case complexity, distractions, difficulty) was measured each member using questions from validated questionnaires. Statistical...
Objective: Surgeon workload, or human “cost” of performing a procedure, is not well understood in light emerging surgical technologies. This pilot study quantified surgeon workload for colorectal procedures and identified patient, surgeon, procedural factors impacting workload. Summary Background Data: Innovative technologies surgery have generally been promoted the advancement patient care. The resulting poorly studied with little knowledge contributing Methods: Surgeons completed NASA-Task...
Background Long surgical procedures with loupe magnification and microscopes may put microsurgeons at an increased risk of musculoskeletal discomfort. Identifying the prevalence impact work-related discomfort guide preventive strategies to prolong well-being, job satisfaction, career duration. Methods An online 29-question survey was designed evaluate The created distributed electronically through a private research center sent members American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery....
A handheld neutron-detection sensor application is described in this paper. The system utilizes a new class of boron carbide diode that interacts with incoming neutrons. To interface the diode, an integrated front end designed 1.5-mum standard CMOS technology. With and front-end microchip, was realized embedded microcontroller for real-time processing. detector operation then tested plutonium-beryllium neutron source. Test measurement results confirm validity approach functionality design
Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) may lead to higher patient satisfaction; however, SILC expose the surgeon increased workload. The goal of this study was compare stress and workload between conventional (CLC).During a double-blind randomized controlled trial comparing outcomes for versus CLC (NCT0148943), assessed by four measures: surgery task load index questionnaire (Surg-TLX), maximum heart rate, salivary cortisol level, instruments usability survey. rate levels were...
