Summary
Video recording devices like Google Glass and GoPro offer surgical trainees self-evaluation tools. GoPro provides better video quality and battery life, while Google Glass offers hands-free operation, indicating potential for future surgical training applications.
Area of Science:
- Medical education technology
- Surgical training and assessment
Background:
- Video-based review is a critical self-evaluation method for professionals.
- Surgical trainees can benefit from self-reflection for continuous improvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the role of Google Glass and GoPro cameras in surgical training.
- To compare the technical specifications and user experience of these devices.
Main Methods:
- Medical students, residents, and faculty tested Google Glass and GoPro during operations.
- Participants provided feedback on comfort, distraction, ease of use, and battery life.
- Technical specifications were compared, and a simulated flap check was performed with Google Glass.
Main Results:
- GoPro offers superior video resolution (1080p) and longer battery life (>2 hours) compared to Google Glass (720p, <1 hour).
- Google Glass is more comfortable and easier to use hands-free, but limits loupe use and has shorter battery life.
- GoPro allows loupe use but is more cumbersome and requires non-sterile assistance for recording.
Conclusions:
- Both Google Glass and GoPro have distinct benefits and limitations for surgical training.
- Google Glass shows potential for future intraoperative use, particularly for trainees to record footage for review.
- GoPro is suitable for creating a video library of surgical procedures.

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Accurate calibration of glassware, such as volumetric flasks, pipettes, and burettes, is essential to ensure accurate measurements in the analytical laboratory. Calibration helps maintain consistency across measurements and prevents errors arising from inaccurate volumes.
Volumetric flasks: Volumetric flasks are designed to prepare aqueous solutions of precise volumes accurately with a calibration line on the neck. To calibrate a volumetric flask, it is important to fill it with distilled...
