[Video recording system of endoscopic procedures for digital forensics]

Area of Science:

• Medical technology
• Endoscopic procedures
• Medical informatics

Context:

• Endoscopic procedures are increasingly common for surgery, intervention, and examination.
• Accurate procedural recording is crucial for retrospective analysis and legal documentation.
• Existing recording methods may lack comprehensive data integration.

Purpose:

• To evaluate the utility of the Medical Forensic System for simultaneous recording of endoscopic procedures and patient data.
• To assess the system's impact on retrospective procedural review and staff training.
• To determine the suitability of the system for various endoscopic applications.

Summary:

• The Medical Forensic System by KS Olympus Japan records video and patient vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, SpO2) concurrently.
• Implementation in a bronchoscopy room allowed simultaneous capture of endoscopic visuals, room view, and physiological data.
• This integrated recording facilitates retrospective quality assessment and aids in training bronchoscopy staff.

Impact:

• The system provides a reliable, legally sound record of endoscopic procedures.
• It offers valuable insights for improving the quality and consistency of endoscopic interventions.
• The study recommends the Medical Forensic System for integration into all types of endoscopic procedures.
