New Kinematic Metric for Quantifying Surgical Skill for Flexible Instrument Manipulation
Colonoscopy is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure to survey, diagnose and treat possible disease in the colon. Clinicians are trained to manipulate a colonoscope while minimizing the force exerted on the colon walls to reduce the danger of luminal perforation and discomfort to the patient. Here, we propose and evaluate a metric, called Global Isotropy Index (GII), to quantify the experti...
متن کاملWhen Does Forced Idle Time Improve Performance in Polling Models?
Sarkar and Zangwill (1991) showed by numerical examples that reduction in setup times can, surprisingly, actually increase work in process in some cyclic production systems (that is, reduction in switchover times can increase waiting times in some polling models). We present, for polling models with exhaustive and gated service disciplines, some explicit formulas that provide additional insight...
متن کاملA Queueing Loss Model with Heterogeneous Skill Based Servers Under Idle Time Ordering Policies
We consider a queueing loss system with heterogeneous skill based servers with arbitrary service distributions. We assume Poisson arrivals, with each arrival having a vector indicating which of the servers are eligible to serve it. An arrival can only be assigned to a server that is both idle and eligible. Assuming exchangeable eligibility vectors and an idle time ordering assignment policy, th...
متن کاملAssessing the performance of surgical teams.
BACKGROUND High-performing and high-reliability teams are an important component of service delivery. With a focused emphasis on safety in acute care hospitals, understanding the nature of surgical teams and team performance is an essential component to achieving high-quality surgical care. More information is needed about the challenges to effective team functioning in the operating room, the ...
متن کاملIdle Thoughts of a Surgical Fellow
analysis of the illustrations of dissections in miniatures, sculptures, medallions, titlepages of books, typographical ornaments, portraits of dissectors, anatomical theatres and caricatures on this theme, provides a comprehensive survey of a subject which until now could only be reached through painstaking research. The illustrations show clearly the passing of basic artistic ideas from one co...
