There has been several work on freehand gesture interaction that covers different fields, for instance, the medical applications [17]. In the operating room, doctors should minimize the action of touching surrounding area because of sterilized operation theater. In such situation, the surgeon usually asks another staff member to help him to interact with the display (e.g. zoom in/out images). This way of interaction might lead to some latency between doctor decisions and actions to be performed by the other member. Hepatic angiography is a study of an X-ray of the blood vessels that supply the liver. The procedure uses a thin and flexible catheter that is placed into a blood vessel through a small cut. A trained doctor called an Interventional radiologist usually performs the procedure. The proposed work is part of a project …show more content…
In this paper, we present an interactive system that will help surgeons in the operating room to control the reconstructed 3D image on the large screen using pre-set hand gestures, which can be executed at a distance from the display. One of the important issues in any hand gesture recognition system is its ability to differentiate between intended gestures and unintended gestures [19].
This is a critical issue, especially in a place like the operating room as the surgeons do many gestures during the operation to communicate with other doctors and nurses and perform several hand movements for the surgery procedure. The main contribution here is to find an algorithm that can discriminate between these unintended gestures and those specifically intended ones that are needed to be interpreted by the system as commands to interact with the 3D images on the
Upon observation of the circulating nurse, I noticed that she was very interactive and involved in the surgery. One of the responsibilities of the circulating nurse is to retrieve any surgical supplies that are not available in the operating room and to make or receive any calls for the surgeon. During the surgery, I noticed the nurse call for an x-ray for the surgeon, the laboratory for biopsy samples, and the operating room floor front desk to inform them that the surgery would be later than expected. This is her responsibility as the surgeon cannot break sterility by touching the phone and it is easier for him to communicate through her and not leave the surgical site. Also in the operating room, I observed the scrub nurses’ roles. Before the operation, the scrub nurse opened all of the sterile packages, arranged them on the sterile field, and took count of what was there along with the circulating nurse. The scrub nurse did this because she is sterile during the entire procedure, and once the sterile packs are opened, the contents can only be handled by sterile personnel. The scrub nurse also was ready and waiting at the sterile field at all times to get the surgeon any equipment needed from the sterile field. This is helpful to the surgeon because it enables the surgeon to stay at the surgical site and convenient for when
Surgical Technologists have an important role in the operation room (OR). There are different positions within the Surgical Technology field, including Scrub Surgical Technologist, Circulating Surgical Technologist, and Second Assisting Technologist. Scrub Surgical Technologists have a number of tasks, including prepping the patient for surgery, sterilizing the OR, gown and glove surgeons and assistants, and assists the surgeon and other surgical team members in a number of ways, such as passing instruments and dressing wounds. Circulating Surgical Technologists have a number of tasks as well, including checking patient’s charts, identifying patient and verifying the surgery that will be performed with consent forms, assisting anesthesia
Surgical technologists, not only are skilled helpers, but the life of the operating room. If one is too tense during the surgery, it can cause everyone else to be as well, therefore they must remain calm to make sure
To perform a cardiac catheterization the cardiologist will insert a sheath, or a short tube usually into the femoral artery. A long very thin catheter will then be fed through the sheath and guided through the arteries until it is in the heart and coronary arteries. The physician uses fluoroscopy equipment to guide the catheter into the coronary arteries. To allow for clear viewing of the coronary arteries, contrast material is injected into the catheter. As the contrast material flows through the heart chambers and coronary arteries x-rays are taken. The
A. Thesis/Summary: I hope you have a better understanding of what the surgery staff members do to keep patients safe from a retained foreign body.
The computer system translates the surgeon's hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of surgical instruments inside the patient.
They set up the instruments and equipment needed for the particular operation to be performed. They have to be able to anticipate what the surgeon will need and hand the instrument to him or her when required (Aims Education, 2015).
The primary goal of the surgical team is to prevent the spreading of infectious diseases in the operating theatre and the surgical area. Some of those goals include the patient risk assessment, cleaning of the surrounding area and the environment, and the most important sterilising surgical instruments and gowns and disinfecting the surgical theatre after and before the
The students have learned about the surgical supplies and instruments, and also about surgical asepsis and assisting with surgical procedures. Medical assistant’s duties are preparing the patients and the sterile field, assisting the physician as needed, taking care of the patient after the procedure, and properly disinfect the area that was used. Also, the medical assistant should document as needed. In surgical solution the solutions are sterile water and sterile saline. These solution is used in minor surgery. Students were taught to know the types of instruments to use in surgery, how they are used and how they are cleaned after usage. Asepsis is the freedom from infection or infectious material. Medical asepsis destruction of organisms

By adopting these, a more familiar atmosphere can be created where a radiographer knows what is expected of him and who is he working with. This will help in minimizing the risk factor and improving efficiency(NHS National reporting and learning service 2008).( National Patient Safety Agency, 2009).
The complicated algorithms in the software recognize the positioning of the X, Y coordinates of the hand in order to support accurate cursor control. They also allow for detecting natural and intuitive hand gestures such as GRAB (closing of the hand) which supports all mouse functionalities including mouse left-click, double click, right-click and drag & drop. Also, the unique algorithms can simultaneously detect and track two hands, allowing for natural gestures such as zoom and rotate. The core technology underlying PointGrab’s hand gesture recognition software, allows adding and modifying gestures quickly and easily as compared to other softwares.
Surgery (cheirourgia, from the Greek "cheir" meaning "hand" + "ergon" meaning "work") is the branch of medicine that deals with the physical manipulation of a bodily structure to diagnose, prevent, or cure an ailment. Ambroise Paré, a 16th-century French surgeon, stated that to perform surgery is, "To eliminate that which is superfluous, restore that which has been dislocated, separate that which has been united, join that which has been divided and repair the defects of nature."
Equipped with a C-arm, the operation is guaranteed to be run better. Therefore, the tool is able to detect abnormalities to the tissue, blood vessels, and bones, thus helping doctors when performing surgery. LED lights and shadows anti-thermal an added value of 13 operating theaters owned Mount Elizabeth Novena. It allows the doctor during surgery and improves accuracy during surgery. In addition to having the tools with the latest technology,
According to the author Prentice (2013), perception as taking advantage of familiarity with the world born of habits, that implicit sedimentary body of knowledge; embodied skills of medical residents shape surgical perception of accumulated knowledge and practice to operate with sensations. Surgeons are able to navigate to a location for a specific organ or a tissue without seeing it in an open operative surgery, and surgeons’ bodies had already synthesized the look, feel, and motions of a specific region of the body. They are able to find that region of the body and take out the tissue that creates damage or ruin on the function of an organ. Dr. Marcos and Dr. Nick have a surgery for a klatskin’s tumor removal at top of bile duct, they need to find out the path of vena cava virtually by following vessel’s path and slipped an instrument under the liver to lift it without see it (Prentice, 2013). In addition, with the embodied skill surgeons are able to utilize touch, gesture, and language to overcome their inability to see, and they continue to work effectively with loss of sight. Dr. Nick and Dr. Marcos continued work properly and effectively when the anesthesiologist’s machines broke down; Dr. Nick placed his hand inside the abdominal cavity and ask the anesthesiologist repeatedly to ensure the patient’s blood pressure is ok (Prentice, 2013). They used a manual backup to ensure the patient’s blood pressure was adequate even they cannot see the number. The embodied skills
