Background: Although robotic surgery has gained popularity, safety concerns remain due to potential delay in addressing intraoperative hemorrhages since the surgeon is not at the bedside. This study aimed to test whether a training program for emergency robotic undocking protocols improved the performance of thoracic operating room (OR) teams.
Methods: An emergency undocking protocol and checklists were created for massive hemorrhage during robotic thoracic surgery.
Introduction: With the advancement of robotic surgery, some thoracic surgeons have been slow to adopt to this new operative approach, in part because they are un-scrubbed and away from the patient while operating. Aiming to allay surgeon concerns of intra-operative emergencies, an insitu simulation-based clinical system's test (SbCST) can be completed to test the current clinical system, and to practice low-frequency, high-stakes clinical scenarios with the entire operating room (OR) team.
Methods: Six different OR teams completed an insitu SbCST of an intra-operative pulmonary artery injury during a robot-assisted thoracic surgery at a single tertiary care center.
Article Synopsis
- Experts in airway management are super important for helping very sick patients breathe properly.
- There are big differences in how patients do after being intubated (having a tube placed in their airway) in a hospital vs. an emergency situation in the ICU.
- This review talks about new ways to check airways, use special tools, and think about the people involved in making decisions when managing patients' airways in the ICU.
