Cyber tools significantly improve surgical reaction times by 33% during simulated procedures. These advanced technologies enhance surgeon concentration and access to vital patient information, potentially improving surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Technology
  • Medical Simulation
  • Cardiovascular Surgery

Background:

  • Head-up displays (HUDs) enable simultaneous patient and vital parameter monitoring.
  • HUDs may enhance surgical decision-making speed, accuracy, and safety.
  • Cyber tools offer real-time access to critical patient data during interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate surgical reaction times to specific arrhythmias (AFIB, bigeminy, trigeminy, VTACH, VFIB).
  • To assess surgeon concentration during procedures using standard versus cyber monitoring tools.
  • To compare the efficiency of cyber tools versus standard methods in displaying critical information like coronary angiography.

Main Methods:

  • Surgeons performed simulated coronary bypass procedures using a patient simulator.

  • The simulator emulated cardiac signals and arrhythmias.
  • Key metrics included reaction time, surgeon efficiency, and time to display coronary angiography.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant difference in overall experiment duration between cyber and standard groups.
    • Reaction times were significantly reduced by an average of 33% with cyber tools.
    • A notable time difference was observed in displaying coronary angiography via HUD compared to a remote console.

    Conclusions:

    • Modern cyber tools significantly improve surgical reaction times.
    • Enhanced real-time access to vital information via cyber tools boosts surgeon concentration.
    • These advancements indicate potential for improved surgical performance and safety.
