Article Synopsis
- This review looks at how augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) can help people who have trouble hearing communicate better.
- Researchers found 22 studies focused mainly on nonverbal ways to communicate, like using sign language and visual signals.
- The studies suggest that AR and VR can help teach sign language and improve thinking and speech skills for those who are hard of hearing, but more research is needed to explore their full potential.
Objective: To characterize cognitive workload (CWL) of cardiac surgery team members in a real-world setting during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery using providers' heart rate variability (HRV) data as a surrogate measure of CWL.
Methods: HRV was collected from the surgeon, anesthesiologist, perfusionist, and scrub nurse, and audio/video recordings were made during isolated, nonemergency CABG surgeries (n = 27). Eight surgical phases were annotated by trained researchers, and HRV was calculated for each phase.
Importance: Assessing nontechnical skills in operating rooms (ORs) is crucial for enhancing surgical performance and patient safety. However, automated and real-time evaluation of these skills remains challenging.
Objective: To explore the feasibility of using motion features extracted from surgical video recordings to automatically assess nontechnical skills during cardiac surgical procedures.
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a sight-threatening condition often associated with inflammatory and diabetic diseases. Early detection is crucial to prevent irreversible vision loss. Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promise in automating CME diagnosis through optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, but its utility needs critical evaluation.
