Purpose:
We attempted to find a method of reducing time and effort for recording videos of cardiac surgical procedures.
Description:
A camera mounting arm designed by us provided a properly fixed digital camera location for undisturbed recording. The camera and its remote control unit provided an opportunity for the surgeon to record only the steps of the operation without need for editing.
Evaluation:
Digital videos produced by this method required no additional time from the surgeon except to record the commentary at leisure. The video recorded was of excellent quality and provided a well-focused recording of the steps of the operation.
Conclusions:
The technique described for video recording of cardiac surgical procedures provides a time-saving and easy method for good reproduction of surgical procedures.
