Area of Science:

  • Surgical Simulation
  • Medical Education
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Robot-assisted surgery is increasingly used in urologic and gynecologic procedures, particularly for patients with severe comorbidities.
  • Limited patient access in robotic surgery can delay emergency response during critical incidents.
  • This study addresses the need for effective emergency management protocols in robotic operating rooms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a full-size operating room simulator for managing acute emergencies during robot-assisted surgery.
  • To assess the impact of multidisciplinary team training and repeated simulations on emergency response times.

Main Methods:

  • A full-size operating room simulator was equipped with a robotic system and five trocars.
  • Six multidisciplinary teams (surgeons, anesthesiologist, nurses) participated in a simulated myocardial fibrillation scenario.
  • Key metrics included time to chest compressions, robotic system removal, defibrillation, and circulation stabilization, with simulations repeated after 7 weeks.

Main Results:

  • The second simulation showed significant improvements in time to chest compressions, robotic system removal, and defibrillation.
  • Time to restore stable circulation improved from 417 ± 125 seconds to 224 ± 37 seconds (P=0.0054).
  • Initial delays were caused by trocars remaining in the robot but not the patient, hindering movement.

Conclusions:

  • Proper training enables rapid initiation of resuscitation within seconds.
  • Repeated simulations significantly enhance all resuscitation steps for multidisciplinary teams.
  • Emergency simulations in realistic operating room settings are highly recommended for improving patient safety.
