Direct Surgeon Control of the Computer in the Operating Room
This paper describes the design and evaluation of a joystick-like device that allows direct surgeon control of the computer in the operating room. The device contains no electronic parts, is easy to use, is unobtrusive, has no physical connection to the computer, and makes use of an existing surgical tool. The device was tested in comparison to a mouse and to verbal dictation.

متن کاملOperating room waste: disposable supply utilization in neurosurgical procedures.
OBJECTIVE Disposable supplies constitute a large portion of operating room (OR) costs and are often left over at the end of a surgical case.

متن کاملBernoulli in the operating room: from the perspective of a cardiac surgeon.
The Bernoullis were one of the most distinguished families in the history of science. It was Daniel Bernoulli who applied mathematical physics to medicine to further his understanding of physiological mechanisms that have an impact even in today's high-end medicine. His masterwork was the analysis of fluid dynamics, which resulted in Bernoulli's law. Most important for cardiac surgery, it descr...

decrease and he then becomes comfortable because the rest of the surgical procedures are the same actions that he performs every time during coronary surgery. Second, an attending-consultant surgeon intrinsically pays very careful and tense attention to the phase of arresting the heart, coronary arteriotomy, and sewing coronary grafts when he supervises a resident-trainee surgeon because an att...
