1St. Antonius Hospital Nieuwegein, Nieuwegein, The Netherlands.
Summary
Smartglass technology enabled virtual support for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) proctoring, demonstrating feasibility and efficacy in complex procedures. This innovation enhances remote proctoring capabilities in interventional cardiology.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Technology Innovation
- Structural Heart Disease
Background:
- COVID-19 pandemic restrictions impact clinical practice and peer interaction.
- Proctoring is essential in interventional cardiology for structural heart disease.
- Virtual support offers a solution for remote proctoring.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the first use of smartglass technology for virtual support during TAVR proctoring.
- To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of smartglass-assisted remote proctoring.
Main Methods:
- Collaboration between smartglass provider and TAVR system manufacturer.
- Extensive pre-procedure testing of smartglass technology.
- Two TAVR cases utilized smartglass for remote proctoring with teleconferencing support.
Main Results:
- Smartglass technology features include HD camera, optical zoom, LED light, and data projection.
- Successful virtual support depended on session coordinator, camera quality, and stable internet.
- Limitations included earpiece discomfort, camera discordance, and lack of visual fixation.
Conclusions:
- Remote proctoring using virtual support via smartglass technology is feasible and effective for TAVR.
- This technology can facilitate the implementation of remote proctoring in interventional cardiology.

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

01:20Virtual Work
1.1K
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

Pulse assessment sites are crucial in evaluating a patient's cardiovascular health. By assessing the pulsations of arteries at specific anatomical locations, healthcare professionals can gather valuable information about blood flow, heart rate, and peripheral circulation. Understanding these pulse assessment sites is essential for conducting comprehensive cardiovascular evaluations and monitoring patients' overall health. These sites are strategically chosen due to the accessibility and...
