Introduction: Cognitive load (CogL) is increasingly recognized as an important resource underlying operative performance. Current innovations in surgery aim to develop objective performance metrics via physiological monitoring from wearable digital sensors. Surgeons have access to consumer technology that could measure CogL but need guidance regarding device selection and implementation.

Background: An objective evaluation of the functional state and viability of biological tissues during minimally invasive surgery remains unsolved task. Various non-contact methods for evaluating perfusion during laparoscopic surgery are discussed in the literature, but so far there have been no reports of their use in clinical settings.
Methods And Patients: Imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) is a new method for quantitative assessment of perfusion distribution along the tissue.

Objective: To evaluate the possibility of integrating tissue perfusion assessment techniques (ICG perfusion and imaging photoplethysmography - iPPG) into the system of intraoperative control points of laparoscopic interventions with a reconstructive component.
Materials And Methods: Quantitative assessment of ICG fluorescence and iPPG were used during 8 laparoscopically assisted interventions: gastrectomy for gastric cancer (total - 2 and distal - 1) and colorectal resections (left-sided colorectal resections - 4 and right hemicolectomy - 1).
Results: Four stages are presented for the assessment of tissue perfusion: initial assessment, before intestine transection, before anastomosis formation, and evaluation of anastomosis.

To evaluate the accuracy of heart rate variability (HRV) parameters obtained with a wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) monitor in patients recovering from minimally invasive colon resection to investigate whether PPG has potential in postoperative patient monitoring. 31 patients were monitored for three days or until discharge or reoperation using a wrist-worn PPG monitor (PulseOn, Finland) with a Holter monitor (Faros 360, Bittium Biosignals, Finland) as a reference measurement device. Beat-to-beat intervals (BBI) and HRV information collected by PPG were compared with RR intervals (RRI) and HRV obtained from the ECG reference after removing artefacts and ectopic beats.

Object: It is increasingly popular to collect as much data as possible in the hospital setting from clinical monitors for research purposes. However, in this setup the data calibration issue is often not discussed and, rather, implicitly assumed, while the clinical monitors might not be designed for the data analysis purpose. We hypothesize that this calibration issue for a secondary analysis may become an important source of artifacts in patient monitor data.
