图8示出了包括模块化通信集线器203的外科数据网络201,该模块化通信集线器203被配置为将位于医疗设施的一个或多个手术室中的模块化装置或专门配备用于外科操作的医疗设施中的任何房间连接到基于云的系统(例如,可包括联接到存储装置205的远程服务器213的云204)。在一个方面,模块化通信集线器203包括与网络路由器通信的网络集线器207和/或网络交换机209。模块化通信集线器203还可联接到本地计算机系统210以提供本地计算机处理和数据操纵。外科数据网络201可被配置为无源的、智能的或交换的。无源外科数据网络充当数据的管道,从而使其能够从一个装置(或区段)转移到另一个装置(或区段)以及云计算资源。智能外科数据网络包括附加特征,以使得能够监测穿过外科数据网络的流量并配置网络集线器207或网络交换器209中的每个端口。智能外科数据网络可被称为可管理的集线器或交换器。交换集线器读取每个包的目标地址,并且然后将包转发到正确的端口。
位于手术室中的模块化装置1a-1n可联接到模块化通信集线器203。网络集线器207和/或网络交换机209可联接到网络路由器211,以将装置1a-1n连接至云204或本地计算机系统210。与装置1a-1n相关联的数据可经由路由器传输到基于云的计算机,用于远程数据处理和操纵。与装置1a-1n相关联的数据也可被传输至本地计算机系统210以用于本地数据处理和操纵。位于相同手术室中的模块化装置2a-2m也可联接到网络交换机209。网络交换机209可联接到网络集线器207和/或网络路由器211以将装置2a-2m连接至云204。与装置2a-2n相关联的数据可经由网络路由器211传输到云204以用于数据处理和操纵。与装置2a-2m相关联的数据也可被传输至本地计算机系统210以用于本地数据处理和操纵。

附加细节公开于2017年6月28日提交的美国专利申请序列号15/636,096,其名称为“SURGICAL SYSTEM COUPLABLE WITH STAPLE CARTRIDGE AND RADIO FREQUENCYCARTRIDGE,AND METHOD OF USING SAME”,该专利全文以引用方式并入本文。
发生器硬件
图20为被配置为除了其他有益效果之外还提供无电感器调谐的发生器800的简化框图。发生器800的附加细节在公布于2015年6月23日的名称为“SURGICAL GENERATOR FORULTRASONIC AND ELECTROSURGICAL DEVICES”的美国专利No.9,060,775中有所描述,该专利全文以引用方式并入本文。发生器800可包括患者隔离台802,该患者隔离台经由功率变压器806与非隔离台804通信。功率变压器806的次级绕组808包含在隔离台802中,并且可包括分接配置(例如,中心分接或非中心分接配置)以限定驱动信号输出810a、810b、810c,以用于将驱动信号递送至不同的外科器械,诸如例如超声外科器械、RF电外科器械和包括能够单独递送或同时递送的超声能量模式和RF能量模式的多功能外科器械。具体地,驱动信号输出810a、810c可将超声驱动信号(例如,420V均方根(RMS)驱动信号)输出至超声外科器械,且驱动信号输出810b、810c可将RF电外科驱动信号(例如,100V RMS驱动信号)输出至电外科器械,其中驱动信号输出810b对应于功率变压器806的中心抽头。
在某些形式中,超声驱动信号和电外科驱动信号可同时提供至不同的外科器械和/或具有将超声能和电外科能两者递送至组织的能力的单个外科器械,诸如多功能外科器械。应当理解,提供至专用电外科器械和/或提供至组合多功能超声/电外科器械的电外科信号可以是治疗电平信号或亚治疗电平信号,其中可以使用亚治疗信号来例如监视组织或器械状况并向发生器提供反馈。例如,超声信号和RF信号可从具有单个输出端口的发生器分别或同时递送,以便向外科器械提供期望的输出信号,如将在下文更详细地讨论。因此,发生器可组合超声能量和电外科RF能量并且将组合的能量递送到多功能超声/电外科器械。双极电极可被放置在端部执行器的一个或两个钳口上。除了电外科RF能量之外,一个钳口可由超声能量同时驱动。超声能量可用于解剖组织,而电外科RF能量可用于脉管密封。
非隔离台804可包括功率放大器812,该功率放大器具有连接到功率变压器806的初级绕组814的输出部。在某些形式中,功率放大器812可包括推挽放大器。例如,非隔离台804还可包括逻辑装置816,以用于向数模转换器(DAC)电路818提供数字输出,该数字/模拟转换器(DAC)电路继而向功率放大器812的输入部提供对应的模拟信号。在某些形式中,例如除其他逻辑电路之外,逻辑装置816可包括可编程门阵列(PGA)、FPGA、可编程逻辑装置(PLD)。因此,由于经由DAC电路818控制功率放大器812的输入部,逻辑装置816可控制在驱动信号输出810a、810b、810c处出现的驱动信号的多个参数(例如,频率、波形形状、波形振幅)中的任一个参数。在某些形式中,如下所述,逻辑装置816结合处理器(例如,以下讨论的DSP)可实现多个基于DSP的算法和/或其他控制算法,以控制由发生器800输出的驱动信号的参数。
可通过开关模式调节器820(例如,功率转换器)向功率放大器812的功率轨提供功率。在某些形式中,开关模式调节器820例如可包括可调式降压调节器。非隔离台804还可包括第一处理器822,例如,在一种形式中,第一处理器可包括DSP处理器,诸如可购自AnalogDevices(Norwood,MA)的Analog Devices ADSP-21469SHARC DSP,但可在各种形式中采用任何合适的处理器。在某些形式中,DSP处理器822可响应于由DSP处理器822经由ADC电路824从功率放大器812接收的电压反馈数据来控制对开关模式调节器820的操作。在一种形式中,例如,DSP处理器822可经由ADC电路824接收由功率放大器812放大的信号(例如,射频信号)的波形包络作为输入。随后,DSP处理器822可控制开关模式调节器820(例如,经由PWM输出),使得被提供至功率放大器812的干线电压跟踪放大信号的波形包络。通过基于波形包络以动态方式调制功率放大器812的干线电压,功率放大器812的效率相对于固定干线电压放大器方案可显著改善。
在某些形式中,逻辑装置816结合DSP处理器822可实施数字合成电路诸如直接数字合成器控制方案,以控制由发生器800输出的驱动信号的波形形状、频率和/或振幅。在一种形式中,例如逻辑装置816可通过调用存储于动态更新的查找表(LUT)(诸如RAM LUT)中的波形样本来实施DDS控制算法,该动态更新的查找表可被嵌入FPGA中。该控制算法尤其可用于如下超声应用,其中超声换能器诸如超声换能器可由其谐振频率下的纯正弦式电流驱动。因为其它频率可激发寄生谐振,因此最小化或降低动态支路电流的总失真可相应地最小化或降低不利的谐振效应。因为由发生器800输出的驱动信号的波形形状受输出驱动电路(例如,功率变压器806、功率放大器812)中存在的各种畸变源的影响,所以基于驱动信号的电压和电流反馈数据可被输入至算法(诸如由DSP处理器822实施的误差控制算法)中,该算法通过适当地以动态行进方式(例如,实时)使存储于LUT中的波形样本预先畸变或修改来补偿畸变。在一种形式中,对LUT样本所施加的预先畸变量或程度可根据所计算的动态支路电流与期望的电流波形形状之间的误差而定,其中所述误差可基于逐一样本确定。以该方式,预先失真的LUT样本在通过驱动电路进行处理时,可使动态支路驱动信号具有所期望的波形形状(例如,正弦形状),以最佳地驱动超声换能器。因此,在此类形式中,当考虑到畸变效应时,LUT波形样本将不呈现驱动信号的期望波形形状,而是呈现要求最终产生动态支路驱动信号的期望波形形状的波形形状。
非隔离台804还可包括经由相应的隔离变压器830、832联接到功率变压器806的输出端的第一ADC电路826和第二ADC电路828,以用于分别对由发生器800输出的驱动信号的电压和电流进行采样。在某些形式中,ADC电路826、828可被配置为以高速(例如,80兆样本每秒(MSPS))进行采样,以能够对驱动信号进行过采样。在一种形式中,例如ADC电路826、828的采样速度可实现驱动信号的约200x(根据频率而定)的过采样。在某些形式中,可通过令单个ADC电路经由二路式多路复用器接收输入电压和电流信号来执行ADC电路826、828的采样操作。通过在发生器800的形式中使用高速采样,除可实现其他事物之外,还可实现对流过动态支路的复杂电流的计算(这在某些形式中可用于实施上述基于DDS的波形形状控制)、对采样信号进行精确的数字滤波,以及以高精度计算实际功耗。由ADC电路826、828输出的电压和电流反馈数据可由逻辑装置816接收并处理(例如,先进先出(FIFO)缓冲器、多路复用器),并且被存储在数据存储器中,以供由例如DSP处理器822后续检索。如上所述,电压和电流反馈数据可用作算法的输入用于以动态行进方式使LUT波形样本预先失真或修改。在某些形式中,当采集到电压和电流反馈数据对时,可能需要基于由逻辑装置816输出的对应LUT样本或以其他方式与该对应LUT样本相关联,来对每一存储的电压和电流反馈数据对进行编索引。以此方式使LUT样本和电压和电流反馈数据同步有助于预失真算法的准确计时和稳定性。
在某些形式中,可使用电压和电流反馈数据来控制驱动信号的频率和/或振幅(例如,电流振幅)。在一种形式中,例如,可使用电压和电流反馈数据来确定阻抗相位。随后,可控制驱动信号的频率以最小化或减小所确定阻抗相位与阻抗相位设定点(例如,0°)之间的差值,从而最小化或减小谐波畸变的影响,并相应地提高阻抗相位测量精确度。相位阻抗和频率控制信号的确定可在DSP处理器822中实现,例如,其中频率控制信号作为输入被提供至由逻辑装置816实施的DDS控制算法。
在另一形式中,例如可监视电流反馈数据,以便将驱动信号的电流振幅保持在电流振幅设定点。电流振幅设定点可被直接指定或基于特定的电压振幅和功率设定点而间接地确定。在某些形式中,例如可通过DSP处理器822中的控制算法(诸如,例如比例积分微分(PID)控制算法)来实现对电流振幅的控制。由控制算法控制以适当地控制驱动信号的电流振幅的变量可包括:例如,存储在逻辑装置816中的LUT波形样本的标度和/或经由DAC电路834的DAC电路818(其向功率放大器812提供输入)的满标度输出电压。
非隔离台804还可包括第二处理器836以用于除别的之外还提供用户界面(UI)功能。在一种形式中,UI处理器836可包括例如购自Atmel公司(San Jose,California)的具有ARM 926EJ-S核的Atmel AT91SAM9263处理器。UI处理器836所支持的UI功能的示例可包括听觉和视觉用户反馈、与外围装置(例如,经由USB接口)的通信、与脚踏开关的通信、与输入装置(例如,触摸屏显示器)的通信,以及与输出装置(例如,扬声器)的通信。UI处理器836可例如经由SPI总线与DSP处理器822和逻辑装置816通信。尽管UI处理器836可主要支持UI功能,然而在某些形式中,该UI处理器也可与DSP处理器822配合以减缓风险。例如,UI处理器836可被编程用于监测用户输入和/或其他输入(例如,触摸屏输入、脚踏开关输入、温度传感器输入)的各个方面,并且当检测错误状况时停用发生器800的驱动输出。
在某些形式中,例如DSP处理器822与UI处理器836两者可确定并监测发生器800的操作状态。对于DSP处理器822,发生器800的操作状态可指示例如由DSP处理器822实施的是哪些控制和/或诊断过程。对于UI处理器836,发生器800的操作状态可指示例如UI的哪些元素(例如,显示屏、声音)呈现给用户。相应的DSP处理器822和UI处理器836可独立地保持发生器800的当前操作状态并识别和评估该当前操作状态的可能转变。DSP处理器822可用作此关系中的主体并确定何时会发生操作状态间的转变。UI处理器836可注意到操作状态间的有效转变并可确认特定的转变是否适当。例如,当DSP处理器822命令UI处理器836转变至特定状态时,UI处理器836可证实所要求的转变是有效的。如果UI处理器836确定所要求的状态间转变是无效的,则UI处理器836可使发生器800进入故障模式。
非隔离台804还可包括控制器838,以用于监测输入装置(例如,用于接通和断开发生器800的电容触摸传感器、电容触摸屏)。在某些形式中,控制器838可包括至少一个处理器和/或与UI处理器836通信的其他控制器装置。在一种形式中,例如控制器838可包括处理器(例如,可购自Atmel的Meg168 8位控制器),该处理器被配置为监测经由一个或多个电容触摸传感器提供的用户输入。在一种形式中,控制器838可包括触摸屏控制器(例如,可购自Atmel的QT5480触摸屏控制器),以控制和管理从电容触摸屏对触摸数据的采集。
在某些形式中,当发生器800处于“功率关”状态时,控制器838可继续接收操作功率(例如,经由来自发生器800的功率源的线,诸如以下讨论的功率源854)。这样,控制器838可继续监测输入装置(例如,位于发生器800的前面板上的电容式触摸传感器),以用于接通和断开发生器800。当发生器800处于功率关状态时,如果检测用户“接通/断开”输入装置的启动,则控制器838可启动功率源(例如,启用功率源854的一个或多个DC/DC电压转换器856的操作)。控制器838可因此启动用于将发生器800转变至“功率开”状态的序列。相反,当发生器800处于功率开状态时,如果检测“接通/断开”输入装置的启动,则控制器838可启动用于将发生器800转变至功率关状态的序列。在某些形式中,例如,控制器838可向UI处理器836报告“接通/断开”输入装置的启动,该处理器继而实施所需的过程序列以用于将发生器800转变至功率关状态。在此类形式中,控制器838可能不具有在建立起功率开状态之后从发生器800移除功率的独立能力。
在某些形式中,控制器838可使发生器800提供听觉或其他感官反馈,以用于警示用户功率开或功率关序列已启动。可在功率开或功率关序列开始时以及在与序列相关联的其它过程开始之前提供此类警示。
在某些形式中,隔离台802可包括器械接口电路840,例如以在外科器械的控制电路(例如,包括手持件开关的控制电路)与非隔离台804的部件(诸如,例如逻辑装置816、DSP处理器822和/或UI处理器836)之间提供通信接口。器械接口电路840可经由通信连接件(诸如,例如基于IR的通信连接件)与非隔离台804的部件交换信息,该通信连接件在隔离台802与非隔离台804之间保持合适程度的电隔离。例如,可使用由隔离变压器供电的低压降调压器为器械接口电路840供电,该低压降调压器从非隔离台804被驱动。
在一种形式中,器械接口电路840可包括与信号调节电路844通信的逻辑电路842(例如,逻辑电路、可编程逻辑电路、PGA、FPGA、PLD)。信号调节电路844可被配置为从逻辑电路842接收周期性信号(例如,2kHz的方波),以生成具有相同频率的双极性询问信号。例如,可使用由差分放大器馈送的双极电流源生成询问信号。该询问信号可被发送到外科器械控制电路(例如,通过使用将发生器800连接到外科器械的缆线中的导体对)并被监测,以确定控制电路的状态或配置。控制电路可包括多个开关、电阻器和/或二极管,以修改询问信号的一个或多个特性(例如,振幅、整流),使得可基于该一个或多个特性唯一地辨别控制电路的状态或配置。在一种形式中,例如信号调节电路844可包括ADC电路,以用于产生由于询问信号通过控制电路而出现在控制电路输入中的电压信号的样本。随后,逻辑电路842(或非隔离台804的部件)可基于ADC电路样本来确定控制电路的状态或配置。
在一种形式中,器械接口电路840可包括第一数据电路接口846,以实现逻辑电路842(或器械接口电路840的其他元件)与设置于外科器械中的或以其他方式与外科器械相关联的第一数据电路之间的信息交换。在某些方面,例如,第一数据电路可设置于整体地附接到外科器械手持件的缆线中,或设置于用于使特定的外科器械类型或模型与发生器800交接的适配器中。第一数据电路可以任何合适的方式实施且可根据包括例如本文相对于第一数据电路所述的任何合适的协议与发生器通信。在某些形式中,第一数据电路可包括非易失性存储装置,诸如EEPROM装置。在某些形式中,第一数据电路接口846可与逻辑电路842分开实施并且包括合适的电路(例如,离散的逻辑装置、处理器),以实现逻辑电路842与第一数据电路之间的通信。在其他形式中,第一数据电路接口846可与逻辑电路842成一体。
在某些形式中,第一数据电路可存储与其相关联的特定外科器械相关的信息。此类信息可包括例如型号、序列号、其中已使用外科器械的多个操作、和/或任何其它类型的信息。此种信息可被器械接口电路840(例如,通过逻辑电路842)读取、被传输到非隔离台804的部件(例如,至逻辑装置816、DSP处理器822和/或UI处理器836),以经由输出装置呈现给用户并且/或者控制发生器800的功能或操作。另外,任何类型的信息均可经由第一数据电路接口846(例如,使用逻辑电路842)被发送至第一数据电路以存储于其中。此类信息可包括例如其中使用外科器械的操作的更新数目和/或其使用的日期和/或时间。
如前所述,外科器械可从手持件拆卸(例如,多功能外科器械可从手持件拆卸)以促进器械可互换性和/或可任意处置性。在此类情形中,常规发生器的识别所使用特定器械构型和相应地优化控制和诊断过程的能力可受限。然而,从兼容性角度来看,通过对外科器械添加可读数据电路来解决此问题是有问题的。例如,设计外科器械来保持与缺少必备数据读取功能的发生器的向后兼容可能由于例如不同的信号方案、设计复杂性和成本而不切实际。本文所述器械的形式通过使用数据电路来解决这些问题,这些数据电路可经济地实施于现有外科器械中并具有最小的设计变化,以保持外科器械与电流发生器平台的兼容性。
另外,发生器800的形式可实现与基于器械的数据电路的通信。例如,发生器800可被配置成与器械(例如,多功能外科器械)中所包含的第二数据电路通信。在一些形式中,第二数据电路可以类似于本文所述的第一数据电路的方式实施。器械接口电路840可包括用于实现该通信的第二数据电路接口848。在一种形式中,第二数据电路接口848可包括三态数字接口,然而也可使用其他接口。在某些形式中,第二数据电路通常可为用于传输和/或接收数据的任何电路。在一种形式中,例如第二数据电路可存储与相关联的特定外科器械相关的信息。此类信息可包括例如型号、序列号、其中已使用外科器械的多个操作、和/或任何其它类型的信息。
在一些形式中,第二数据电路可存储关于相关联的超声换能器、端部执行器或超声驱动系统的电性能和/或超声性能的信息。例如,第一数据电路可指示老化频率斜率,如本文所述。附加地或另选地,任何类型的信息均可经由第二数据电路接口848(例如,使用逻辑电路842)被发送至第二数据电路以存储于其中。此类信息例如可包括其中使用外科器械的操作的更新数目和/或其使用的日期和/或时间。在某些形式中,第二数据电路可传输由一个或多个传感器(例如,基于器械的温度传感器)采集的数据。在某些形式中,第二数据电路可从发生器800接收数据并基于所接收的数据向用户提供指示(例如,发光二极管指示或其他可视指示)。
在某些形式中,第二数据电路和第二数据电路接口848可被配置为使得可实现逻辑电路842与第二数据电路之间的通信而无需提供用于此目的的附加导体(例如,用于将手持件连接到发生器800的缆线的专用导体)。在一种形式中,例如,可使用实施于现有缆线上的单总线通信方案(诸如用于将询问信号从信号调节电路844发射至手持件中的控制电路的导体中的一者)而将信息发送至第二数据电路并从第二数据电路发送信息。这样,可最小化或减少原本可能必要的外科器械的设计变化或修改。此外,因为在共用物理信道上实施的不同类型的通信可为频带分离的,所以第二数据电路的存在对于不具有必备数据读取功能的发生器而言可为“隐形的”,因此能够实现外科器械的向后兼容性。
在某些形式中,隔离台802可包括至少一个阻挡电容器850-1,该至少一个阻挡电容器连接到驱动信号输出件810b以防止直流电流流向患者。例如,可要求信号阻挡电容器符合医疗规则或标准。尽管相对而言单电容器设计中很少出现错误,然而此类错误可造成不良后果。在一种形式中,可设置有与阻挡电容器850-1串联的第二阻挡电容器850-2,其中例如通过ADC电路852来监测从阻挡电容器850-1、850-2之间的点发生的电流渗漏,以对由泄漏电流感应的电压进行采样。这些样本例如可由逻辑电路842接收。基于渗漏电流的变化(如电压样本所指示),发生器800可以确定阻挡电容器850-1、850-2中的至少一个何时发生故障,从而提供优于具有单个故障点的单电容器设计的有益效果。
在某些形式中,非隔离台804可包括功率源854以用于在适当的电压和电流下递送直流功率。功率源可包括例如400W的功率源以用于递送48V直流的系统电压。功率源854还可包括一个或多个DC/DC电压转换器856,以用于接收功率源的输出,以在发生器800的各种部件所需的电压和电流下产生直流输出。如以上结合控制器838所述,当控制器838检测用户启动“接通/断开”输入装置以启用DC/DC电压转换器856的操作或唤醒DC/DC电压转换器856时,DC/DC电压转换器856中的一个或多个可从控制器838接收输入。
图21示出了发生器900的示例,该发生器是发生器800(图20)的一种形式。发生器900被配置为将多个能量模态递送至外科器械。发生器900提供用于独立地或同时将能量递送至外科器械的RF信号和超声信号。RF信号和超声信号可单独或组合提供,并且可同时提供。如上所述,至少一个发生器输出可通过单个端口递送多种能量模态(例如,超声、双极或单极RF、不可逆和/或可逆电穿孔和/或微波能量等等),并且这些信号可分开或同时被递送到端部执行器以处理组织。
发生器900包括联接到波形发生器904的处理器902。处理器902和波形发生器904被配置为基于存储在联接到处理器902的存储器中的信息来生成各种信号波形,为了本公开清楚起见而未示出该存储器。与波形相关联的数字信息被提供给波形发生器904,该波形发生器904包括一个或多个DAC电路以将数字输入转换成模拟输出。模拟输出被馈送到放大器1106用于信号调节和放大。放大器906的经调节和放大的输出联接到电力变压器908。信号通过电力变压器908联接到患者隔离侧中的次级侧。第一能量模态的第一信号被提供给被标记为ENERGY1和RETURN的端子之间的外科器械。第二能量模态的第二信号联接到电容器910两端并被提供给被标记为ENERGY2和RETURN的端子之间的外科器械。应当理解,可输出超过两种能量模态,并且因此下标“n”可被用来指定可提供多至n个ENERGYn端子,其中n是大于1的正整数。还应当理解,在不脱离本公开的范围的情况下,可提供多至“n”个返回路径RETURNn。
第一电压感测电路912联接被标记为ENERGY1和RETURN路径的端子的两端,以测量两端子间的输出电压。第二电压感测电路924联接被标记为ENERGY2和RETURN路径的端子的两端,以测量两端子间的输出电压。如图所示,电流感测电路914与电力变压器908的次级侧的RETURN支路串联设置,以测量任一能量模态的输出电流。如果为每种能量模态提供不同的返回路径,则应在每个返回支路中提供单独的电流感测电路。第一电压感测电路912和第二电压感测电路924的输出被提供给相应的隔离变压器916、922,并且电流感测电路914的输出被提供给另一隔离变压器918。电力变压器908(非患者隔离侧)的初级侧上的隔离变压器916、928、922的输出被提供给一个或多个ADC电路926。ADC电路926的数字化输出被提供给处理器902用于进一步处理和计算。可采用输出电压和输出电流反馈信息来调整提供给外科器械的输出电压和电流,并且计算输出阻抗等参数。处理器902和患者隔离电路之间的输入/输出通信通过接口电路920提供。传感器也可通过接口920与处理器902电气通信。
在一个方面,阻抗可由处理器902通过将联接在被标记为ENERGY1/RETURN的端子的两端的第一电压感测电路912或联接在被标记为ENERGY2/RETURN的端子的两端的第二电压感测电路924的输出除以与功率变压器908的次级侧的RETURN支路串联设置的电流感测电路914的输出来确定。第一电压感测电路912和第二电压感测电路924的输出被提供给单独的隔离变压器916、922,并且电流感测电路914的输出被提供给另一隔离变压器916。来自ADC电路926的数字化电压和电流感测测量值被提供给处理器902以用于计算阻抗。例如,第一能量模态ENERGY1可以是超声能量,并且第二能量模态ENERGY2可以是RF能量。然而,除了超声和双极或单极RF能量模态之外,其它能量模态还包括不可逆和/或可逆电穿孔和/或微波能量等。而且,虽然图21所示的示例示出了可为两种或更多种能量模态提供单个返回路径RETURN,但在其他方面,可为每种能量模态ENERGYn提供多个返回路径RETURNn。因此,如本文所述,可通过将第一电压感测电路912的输出除以电流感测电路914的输出来测量超声换能器阻抗,并且可通过将第二电压感测电路924的输出除以电流感测电路914的输出来测量组织阻抗。
如图21中所示,包括至少一个输出端口的发生器900可包括具有单个输出和多个分接头的电力变压器908,以例如根据正在执行的组织处理类型以一种或多种能量模态(诸如超声、双极或单极RF、不可逆和/或可逆电穿孔和/或微波能量等等)的形式向端部执行器提供功率。例如,发生器900可用较高电压和较低电流递送能量以驱动超声换能器,用较低电压和较高电流递送能量以驱动RF电极以用于密封组织,或者用凝固波形递送能量以用于使用单极或双极RF电外科电极。来自发生器900的输出波形可被操纵、切换或滤波,以向外科器械的端部执行器提供频率。超声换能器与发生器900输出端的连接将优选地位于被标记为ENERGY1和RETURN的输出端之间,如图21所示。在一个示例中,RF双极电极与发生器900输出端的连接将优选地位于被标记为ENERGY2和RETURN的输出端之间。在单极输出的情况下,优选的连接将是ENERGY2输出端的有源电极(例如,铅笔或其他探头)以及连接至RETURN输出端的合适的返回垫。

模块化装置包括可容纳在外科集线器内的模块(如结合图3和图9所述)和外科装置或器械,该外科装置或器械可连接到各种模块以便与对应的外科集线器连接或配对。模块化装置包括例如智能外科器械、医疗成像装置、抽吸/冲洗装置、排烟器、能量发生器、呼吸机、吹气器和显示器。本文所述的模块化装置可通过控制算法来控制。控制算法可在模块化装置自身上、在与特定模块化装置配对的外科集线器上或在模块化装置和外科集线器两者上执行(例如,经由分布式计算架构)。在一些示例中,模块化装置的控制算法基于由模块化装置自身感测到的数据来控制装置(即,通过模块化设备之中、之上或连接到模块化装置的传感器)。该数据可与正在手术的患者(例如,组织性能或吹气压力)或模块化装置本身相关(例如,刀被推进的速率、马达电流或能量水平)。例如,外科缝合和切割器械的控制算法可根据刀在其前进时遇到的阻力来控制器械的马达驱动其刀穿过组织的速率。
云系统硬件和功能模块

此外,外科器械7012可包括收发器,以用于将数据传输到这些收发器对应的外科集线器7006(其还可包括收发器)和从这些收发器对应的外科集线器7006传输数据。外科器械7012和对应的集线器7006的组合可指示用于提供医疗操作的特定位置,诸如医疗设施(例如,医院)中的手术室。例如,外科集线器7006的存储器可存储位置数据。如图22所示,云7004包括中央服务器7013(可与远程服务器7013相同或类似)、集线器应用服务器7002、数据分析模块7034和输入/输出(“I/O”)接口7006。云7004的中央服务器7013共同管理云计算系统,该云计算系统包括监测客户端外科集线器7006的请求并管理云7004的处理容量以用于执行请求。中央服务器7013中的每个中央服务器包括联接到合适的存储器装置7010的一个或多个处理器7008,该存储器装置可包括易失性存储器诸如随机存取存储器(RAM)和非易失性存储器诸如磁存储装置。存储器装置7010可包括机器可执行指令,这些机器可执行指令在被执行时使得处理器7008执行数据分析模块7034以用于下文所述的基于云的数据分析、操作、推荐和其他操作。此外,处理器7008可独立地或结合由集线器7006独立地执行的集线器应用程序来执行数据分析模块7034。中央服务器7013还包括可驻留在存储器2210中的汇总医疗数据数据库2212。
基于经由网络7001与各种外科集线器7006的连接,云7004可汇总来自由各种外科器械7012及其对应集线器7006生成的特定数据的数据。此类汇总数据可存储在云7004的汇总医疗数据库7012内。具体地,云7004可有利地对汇总数据执行数据分析和操作,以产生见解和/或执行单个集线器7006自身无法实现的功能。为此,如图22所示,云7004和外科集线器7006通信地联接以传输和接收信息。I/O接口7006经由网络7001连接到多个外科集线器7006。这样,I/O接口7006可被配置为在外科集线器7006和汇总医疗数据数据库7011之间传输信息。因此,I/O接口7006可促进基于云的分析系统的读/写操作。可响应于来自集线器7006的请求来执行此类读/写操作。这些请求可通过集线器应用程序传输到集线器7006。I/O接口7006可包括一个或多个高速数据端口,该一个或多个高速数据端口可包括通用串行总线(USB)端口、IEEE 1394端口,以及用于将云7004连接到集线器7006的Wi-Fi和蓝牙I/O接口。云7004的集线器应用服务器7002被配置为托管由外科集线器7006执行的软件应用(例如,集线器应用)并向其提供共享的能力。例如,集线器应用服务器7002可以管理集线器应用程序通过集线器7006提出的请求、控制对汇总医疗数据数据库7011的访问,以及执行负载平衡。参考图23详细地描述了数据分析模块7034。
本公开中描述的特定云计算系统配置被具体设计成解决在使用医疗装置(诸如外科器械7012、112)执行的医疗操作和手术的背景下产生的各种问题。具体地,外科器械7012可为数字外科装置,该数字外科装置被配置为与云7004进行交互以用于实施改善外科操作的性能的技术。各种外科器械7012和/或外科集线器7006可包括触摸控制的用户界面,使得临床医生可控制外科器械7012和云7004之间的交互的各方面。也可使用用于控制的其他合适的用户界面,诸如听觉控制的用户界面。
图23为根据本公开的至少一个方面的示出计算机实现的交互式外科系统的功能架构的框图。基于云的分析系统包括多个数据分析模块7034,这些数据分析模块可由云7004的处理器7008执行,以用于为医疗领域中具体产生的问题提供数据分析解决方案。如图23所示,基于云的数据分析模块7034的功能可经由由集线器应用服务器7002托管的集线器应用程序7014来辅助,这些集线器应用服务器可在外科集线器7006上访问。云处理器7008和集线器应用程序7014可以结合操作,以执行数据分析模块7034。应用程序接口(API)7016限定对应于集线器应用程序7014的一组协议和例程。另外,API 7016管理向汇总医疗数据库7012中存储和检索数据或从该汇总医疗数据库中存储和检索数据以用于应用程序7014的操作。高速缓存7018也存储数据(例如,暂时地)并且联接到API 7016以更有效地检索由应用程序7014使用的数据。图23中的数据分析模块7034包括资源优化模块7020、数据收集和汇总模块7022、认证和安全模块7024、控制程序更新模块7026、患者结果分析模块7028、推荐模块7030以及数据分类和优先化模块7032。根据一些方面,云7004还可以实现其他合适的数据分析模块。在一个方面,数据分析模块用于基于分析趋势、结果和其他数据的特定推荐。
例如,数据收集和汇总模块7022可用于生成自描述数据(例如,元数据),包括显著特征或配置(例如,趋势)的识别、冗余数据集的管理以及数据在配对数据集中的存储,这些配对数据集可通过外科手术分组,但不一定锁定到实际外科手术日期和外科医生。具体地,由外科器械7012的操作生成的配对数据集可包括应用二进制分类,例如,出血或非出血事件。更一般地,二进制分类可表征为期望的事件(例如,成功的外科手术)或不期望的事件(例如,误击发或误用的外科器械7012)。汇总自描述数据可对应于从外科集线器7006的各种组或子组接收的单个数据。因此,数据收集和汇总模块7022可基于从外科集线器7006接收的原始数据来生成汇总元数据或其他组织数据。为此,处理器7008可以可操作地联接到集线器应用程序7014和汇总医疗数据数据库7011,以用于执行数据分析模块7034。数据收集和汇总模块7022可以将汇总组织数据存储到汇总医疗数据数据库2212中。
资源优化模块7020可以分析该汇总数据以确定用于特定或一组医疗设施的资源的最佳使用。例如,资源优化模块7020可基于此类器械7012的对应预测需求来确定一组医疗设施的外科缝合器械7012的最佳顺序点。资源优化模块7020还可评估各种医疗设施的资源使用或其他操作配置,以确定是否可改善资源使用。类似地,推荐模块7030可以分析来自数据收集和汇总模块7022的汇总组织数据以提供推荐。例如,推荐模块7030可基于例如高于预期的错误率向医疗设施(例如,医疗服务提供方,诸如医院)推荐应将特定外科器械7012升级至改进版本。另外,推荐模块7030和/或资源优化模块7020可推荐更好的供应链参数,诸如产品重新排序点,并且提供不同外科器械7012的建议、其使用或手术步骤以改善外科结果。医疗设施可经由对应的外科集线器7006接收此类推荐。还可提供关于各种外科器械7012的参数或配置的更具体的推荐。集线器7006和/或外科器械7012还可各自具有显示由云7004提供的数据或推荐的显示屏。
患者结果分析模块7028可分析与外科器械7012的当前使用的操作参数相关联的外科结果。患者结果分析模块7028还可以分析和评估其他潜在操作参数。就这一点而言,推荐模块7030可以基于产生更好的外科结果(诸如更好的密封或更少的出血)来推荐使用这些其他潜在操作参数。例如,推荐模块7030可向外科集线器7006传输关于何时针对对应的缝合外科器械7012使用特定仓的推荐。因此,基于云的分析系统在控制公共变量时可被配置为分析大量原始数据的集合并提供对多个医疗设施的集中式推荐(有利地基于汇总数据来确定)。例如,基于云的分析系统可基于医疗实践的类型、患者的类型、患者的数量、医疗提供方之间的地理类似性、医疗提供方/设施使用类似类型的器械等来分析、评估和/或汇总数据,使得任何单个医疗设施都不能独立地分析。控制程序更新模块7026可被配置为在对应的控制程序被更新时执行各种外科器械7012推荐。例如,患者结果分析模块7028可以识别将特定控制参数与成功(或不成功)结果相关联的相关性。当更新的控制程序经由控制程序更新模块7026传输到外科器械7012时,可解决此类相关性。经由对应的集线器7006传输的对器械7012的更新可结合由云7004的数据收集和汇总模块7022采集和分析的汇总性能数据。另外,患者结果分析模块7028和推荐模块7030可基于汇总性能数据来识别使用器械7012的改善的方法。
基于云的分析系统可包括由云7004实现的安全特征。这些安全特征可由认证和安全模块7024管理。每个外科集线器7006可具有相关联的唯一凭证,诸如用户名、密码和其他合适的安全凭证。这些凭证可存储在存储器7010中并且与允许的云访问级别相关联。例如,基于提供准确的凭证,外科集线器7006可被授予访问权限以在预先确定的程度上与云通信(例如,可仅参与传输或接收某些限定类型的信息)。为此,云7004的汇总医疗数据数据库7011可以包括用于验证所提供的凭证的准确性的认证凭证的数据库。不同的凭证可与对与云7004进行交互的不同权限级别相关联,诸如用于接收由云7004生成的数据分析的预先确定的访问级别。此外,出于安全目的,云可以维护集线器7006、器械7012和可包括禁止装置的“黑名单”的其他装置的数据库。具体地,可禁止黑名单上列出的外科集线器7006与云进行交互,同时黑名单上列出的外科器械7012可不具有对于对应的集线器7006的功能访问权限并且/或者可在与其对应的集线器7006配对时被阻止完全起作用。附加地或另选地,云7004可基于不相容性或其他指定标准来标记器械7012。这样,可以识别和解决伪造的医疗装置以及在整个基于云的分析系统中对此类装置的不当重复使用。
外科器械7012可使用无线收发器来传输无线信号,这些无线信号可表示例如用于访问对应集线器7006和云7004的认证凭证。有线收发器也可用于发射信号。此类认证凭证可存储在外科器械7012的相应存储装置中。认证和安全模块7024可确定认证凭证是准确的还是伪造的。认证和安全模块7024还可动态地生成用于增强的安全性的认证凭证。凭证也可被加密,诸如通过使用基于哈希函数的加密。在传输适当认证时,外科器械7012可将信号传输到对应的集线器7006并且最终传输到云7004以指示器械7012准备好获取和传输医疗数据。作为响应,云7004可以转变成能够接收医疗数据以存储到汇总医疗数据数据库7011中的状态。该数据传输准备就绪可例如由器械7012上的光指示器指示。云7004还可将信号传输到外科器械7012以用于更新其相关联的控制程序。云7004可传输涉及特定类别的外科器械7012(例如,电外科器械)的信号,使得控制程序的软件更新仅传输到适当的外科器械7012。此外,云7004可用于实现系统范围内的解决方案,以基于选择性数据传输和认证凭证来解决本地或全球问题。例如,如果一组外科器械7012被识别为具有共同的制造缺陷,则云7004可改变对应于该组的认证凭证以实施该组的可操作闭锁件。
基于云的分析系统可允许监测多个医疗设施(例如,医院之类的医疗设施)以确定改进的实践并相应地推荐改变(例如,经由推荐模块2030)。因此,云7004的处理器7008可分析与单个医疗设施相关联的数据以识别该设施并且将该数据与和组中的其他医疗设施相关联的其他数据汇总。例如,可以基于类似的操作实践或地理位置来限定组。这样,云7004可提供医疗设施组范围的分析和推荐。基于云的分析系统还可用于增强的态势感知。例如,处理器7008可对推荐对特定设施的成本和有效性的影响进行预测建模(相对于总体操作和/或各种医疗手术)。还可将与该特定设施相关联的成本和有效性与其他设施或任何其他类似设施的对应本地区域进行比较。
数据分类和优先化模块7032可以基于关键性(例如,与数据相关联的医疗事件的严重性、出乎意料、怀疑)对数据进行优先化和分类。这种分类和优先化可以与上述其他数据分析模块7034的功能结合使用,以改善本文所述的基于云的分析和操作。例如,数据分类和优先化模块7032可为由数据收集和汇总模块7022以及患者结果分析模块7028执行的数据分析分配优先级。不同的优先级可导致来自云7004的特定响应(对应于紧急性级别),诸如加速响应递增、特殊处理、从汇总医疗数据数据库7011排除或其他合适的响应。此外,如果需要,云7004可通过集线器应用服务器传输来自对应外科器械7012的附加数据的请求(例如,推送消息)。推送消息可导致在对应的集线器7006上显示的用于请求支持或附加数据的通知。在云检测显著的不规则性或异常值并且云不能确定不规则性的原因的情况下,可能需要该推送消息。中央服务器7013可被编程为在某些重要情况下触发该推送消息,例如,诸如当数据被确定为不同于超过预先确定的阈值的预期值时或当其表现出安全性已被包括时。
各种功能的附加示例细节在下文的后续描述中提供。各种描述中的每个可利用如图22和图23所述的云架构作为硬件和软件实现的一个示例。
安全和认证趋势以及反应性措施
在通信地联接到位于不同地理区域中的多个通信和数据收集中心的基于云的医疗系统中,始终存在安全风险。基于云的医疗系统可汇总来自多个通信和数据收集中心的数据,其中由任何数据收集中心收集的数据可源自通信地联接到该数据收集中心的一个或多个医疗装置。可以将未授权的医疗设备诸如假冒的装置、仿制或伪造的装置、或者被盗装置连接到数据收集中心。这些装置可能包含病毒,可能具有错误的校准,缺乏最新的更新设定,或者以其他方式未能通过安全检查,如果在外科手术期间使用这些装置的话,则可能对患者有害。此外,多个数据收集中心可包含多个进入点,诸如多个USB或其他输入端口,或输入用户密码的机会,如果访问不当,则这些进入点可表示可到达基于云的医疗系统、其他数据收集中心和连接的医疗装置的安全漏洞。装置被篡改的风险或者数据被盗或被操纵的风险可导致严重后果,特别是因为整个系统被用于改善医疗护理。
到达基于云的医疗系统的所有面的安全系统可能无效,除非存在集中式部件,该集中式部件被配置为知道所有通信和数据收集中心以及在其中连接的所有装置。如果安全系统仅局限于每个数据收集中心或每个进入点,则来自一个进入点的信息可能不会正确地传播到其他安全点。因此,如果在一个点处发生漏洞,或者如果在一个点处使用不正确的装置,则该信息可能不会正确地传播到其他中心或装置。因此,集中式安全系统或至少被配置为与控制接入点的所有医疗集线器通信的系统将优选地知道可能发生的所有不同问题并且根据需要将那些问题传送到其他端口。
在一些方面,基于云的医疗系统包括安全和认证系统,该安全和认证系统被配置为监测所有通信和数据收集中心,诸如位于手术室中的医疗集线器或塔,以及通信地联接到那些中心的任何智能医疗器械。作为基于云的医疗系统的一部分,基于云的安全和认证系统可被配置为检测对包含在云中的任何集线器系统或其他受保护数据集的未授权或不规则访问。由于基于云的安全系统的集中式性质(在云系统被配置为与系统中的每个集线器通信的意义上),如果在一个集线器处发现任何识别的不规则性,则该安全系统可操作以通过将该信息传送到其他集线器来改善所有其他集线器处的安全性。例如,如果在一家医院中的集线器处使用具有未授权序列号的外科器械,则基于云的安全系统可在位于该医院中的本地集线器处获悉该情况,并且然后将该信息传送到同一医院中的所有其他集线器以及周围区域中的所有医院。
在一些方面,基于云的医疗系统可被配置为监测外科装置并且批准或拒绝对与外科集线器一起使用的每个外科装置的访问。每个外科装置可通过与集线器执行认证协议交换来向集线器注册。基于云的医疗系统可了解所有外科装置和指示外科装置是否可接受的状态,诸如装置是否假冒、是否缺少适当的序列号、是否有故障、是否有病毒等。随后,基于云的医疗系统可被配置为即使外科装置连接到集线器,也能够阻止与外科装置的交互。
这样,基于云的安全系统可为任何特定集线器或医疗设施提供最全面的安全性,因为其能够看到位于其他地方的问题。
图24提供了根据一些方面的云医疗分析系统10000的示例性功能的图示,该云医疗分析系统用于向互连的多个医疗设施提供改善的安全和认证。从框A(参考标号10002)处开始,作为起点,可从一个设施或区域注册可疑活动。可疑活动可以各种形式出现。例如,外科装置可在集线器处被记录为具有重复的序列号或者不被认为在可接受范围内的编号,或者序列号可能已经在不同的位置处被注册。在一些方面,外科装置可具有附加的认证机制,诸如在外科装置和外科集线器(当它们连接时)之间的某类型的电子或数字握手交换。每个装置可被编程为具有数字签名和/或知道如何执行认证过程。外科装置的固件可能需要被适当地编程以知道在该交换期间如何执行。认证握手可周期性地变化,并且可由云周期性地指定。这些中的任一者可在装置与医疗集线器的互连期间失效,从而触发对医疗集线器和云系统10000的警示。
在一些方面,云系统10000可查看由医疗装置提供的触发可疑活动的信息,并且如果该信息明确地有欺诈性或有故障,则可发生装置的警示和拒绝,使得将防止医疗装置与医疗集线器和/或同一设施中的其他医疗集线器一起操作。虽然云系统10000可被配置为防止异常,但是云系统10000也可以能够利用其大量知识来制定附加安全措施,使单个集线器作为入口将不能自己执行。下面进一步描述一个示例。
在框B(参考标号10004)处,可通过至少将外科装置与云网络内的所有已知装置进行比较,将本地医疗集线器处的活动传输到云进行认证。在这种情形下,外科装置可被注册为可疑或具有一些可疑的活动或性能。云可被配置为随后与作为可疑装置来源的本地集线器或设施进行交换反馈循环。云可确定从该设施请求附加数据。此外,医疗设施可经由一个或多个外科集线器从云请求关于一个或多个外科装置的认证或询问数据。在该示例中,位于Texas中的设施中的医疗集线器请求与云系统10000进行针对更多数据的通信交换,以确定在其本地集线器中的一个本地集线器处的可疑活动是否真正有问题。
在框C(参考标号10006)处,云认证和安全系统随后可被配置为执行附加数据分析来确定任何威胁的真实性和该可疑活动的性质的更大背景。在该示例中,基于云的安全系统已执行分析并且发现安全威胁的至少两条证据,这在框C的图表中可视地表示。首先,在比较多个医疗设施的数据请求和医疗询问的数量时,确定位于Texas中的当前请求设施与所有其他设施相比具有数量过多的数据请求或医疗询问。云可被配置为将此标记为需要解决的一个安全问题。其次,与数据请求的数量相比,该Texas设施处的可疑数据点或发现的数量也非常大。这些认识中的一者或两者可以提示云安全系统具体地在该Texas设施处执行不同的安全变更。
因此,在框D(参考标号10008)处,响应于作为整体的Texas中的设施的识别的异常行为,云安全系统可以请求与Texas相关的附加数据以更好地了解实践的性质和潜在威胁。例如,关于购买实践、供应商、所使用的外科器械的类型、所执行的外科手术的类型(与其他设施比较)等的附加数据可从该Texas设施处的一个或多个外科集线器获得,或者可在已经存储在云系统10000中的数据中访问。云安全系统可被配置为寻找附加的异常和模式,这些异常和模式可有助于确定如何变更特定于该Texas设施或一般地Texas区域中的设施的安全手术。
在框E(参考标号10010)处,一旦收集并分析了附加信息,云安全系统就可启动针对具体地从框A触发该分析的Texas设施的变更的安全协议,以及针对指示独特或高于平均威胁的任何外科装置的任何新的安全手术。例如,可以确定特定类型的外科装置(诸如源自特定制造设施或具有一组特定的唯一标识号的装置)可能有故障、被假冒或具有一些其他类型的安全风险。云系统10000可能已经分析了源自Texas区域的可疑数据点,确定是否存在任何共同性或模式,并且基于这些识别的模式发布安全协议的变更。这些装置随后可在所有外科集线器处被锁定而停止使用,即使它们当前未连接到任何外科集线器。关于安全性的其他示例性变更包括修改所收集的数据的类型以更好地了解威胁的类型或威胁的广泛分布。例如,Texas中的可疑活动可表现出尝试登录系统的某种模式或认证签名,并且因此该模式可被列入对Texas中的其他设施和/或对其他设施的需要特别注意的警示。在一些情况下,可疑活动的模式可与另一个指示标识相关联,诸如品牌或制造商、或一系列序列号。云系统可向已知与这些相关指示标识相关联的那些设施(诸如利用具有同一制造商的医疗装置的所有设施)发出警示。
此外,可在本地Texas区域制定增强的认证手术。例如,云安全系统可选择对源自该Texas设施的所有装置执行附加认证协议。在其他设施处这些附加协议可能不存在或不需要,因为基于缺少可疑活动而认为这些其他设施具有较低水平的安全风险。
在一些方面,如先前所提及的,基于云的安全系统还可被配置为防止对任何集线器或云系统本身的不期望的侵入。这意味着可疑医疗装置可能无法访问来自任何医疗集线器的任何数据,并且还可在其连接到医疗集线器的情况下被阻止操作。在利用云系统和多个医疗集线器的医疗系统中,公共协议可要求只有连接到医疗集线器的医疗装置被授权对患者进行操作,并且因此该医疗集线器将具有防止激活装置的能力。对任何故障或欺诈性外科装置的限制可被设计成在外科手术期间保护患者,并且该限制也可用于保护任何外科集线器和云本身。相同的锁定手术可被设计成阻止两种情形的发生。
在一些方面,外科集线器可被配置为将数据传输到云安全系统,该云安全系统更好地表征安全缺陷或侵入的性质。例如,云安全系统可被配置为在存储器中存储入侵尝试的数量、入侵尝试的来源(例如,来自哪个外科集线器或甚至经由外科集线器的哪个端口或连接)以及用于尝试的入侵的方法(如果有的话)(例如,病毒攻击、认证欺骗等)。
在一些方面,云安全系统还可确定外科装置的行为的哪些类型或外科集线器的其他功能与全球平均值相比不规则,还是只是每个机构所特有的。云安全系统可以这种方式更好地识别哪些实践看起来不规则。任何外科集线器或整个设施的数据日志可被记录并安全地存储在云系统中。云安全系统随后可分析尝试的访问请求和动作以确定区域或机构之间的趋势、相似性和差异。云安全系统随后可向机构报告任何不规则性,并标记任何识别的不规则性以用于有关更新的内部调查,从而防止未来发生违反。值得注意的是,本地集线器或具有多个集线器的本地设施可能无法认识到它们的任何认证行为是否不规则,除非将它们与更宽泛的平均值进行比较或与其他设施进行比较。云系统可被配置为识别这些模式,因为它可访问来自这些多个设施的认证数据和手术。
在一些方面,云安全系统可被配置为分析任何当前集线器控制程序版本以及该版本是何时更新的。云安全系统可验证所有更新是正确的,并且确定其来源在哪里。这可以是附加的检查,以确保外科装置的软件和固件系统是适当的并且未被篡改。
在一些方面,云安全系统还可通过一次分析多个设施来确定较大威胁。系统可在聚合来自多个位置的数据之后确定在较广区域内的可疑活动的任何趋势或模式。安全系统随后可立即或几乎实时地变更多个设施上的安全参数。这可用于对同时攻击快速作出反应,并且可使得通过一次收集来自多次攻击的数据以更好地增加寻找攻击模式的机会和速度,由此更容易地解决同时攻击。具有云系统有助于确认攻击或可疑活动是孤立地发生还是某个大计划的一部分。
态势感知
态势感知是外科系统的一些方面根据从数据库和/或器械接收的数据确定或推断与外科手术相关的信息的能力。该信息可包括正在进行的手术的类型、正在手术的组织的类型或作为手术对象的体腔。利用与外科手术相关的背景信息,外科系统可例如改善该外科系统控制连接到其的模块化装置(例如,机器人臂和/或机器人外科工具)的方式,并且在外科手术的过程期间向外科医生提供背景信息或建议。态势感知可被应用于执行和/或改善例如图22至图24所述的任何功能。
现在参见图25,其示出了描绘集线器(例如,诸如外科集线器106或206)的态势感知的时间轴5200。时间轴5200是说明性的外科手术以及外科集线器106、206可以从外科手术中每个步骤从数据源接收的数据导出的背景信息。时间轴5200描绘了护士、外科医生和其它医疗人员在肺段切除手术期间将采取的典型步骤,从建立手术室开始到将患者转移到术后恢复室为止。
态势感知外科集线器106、206在整个外科手术过程中从数据源接收数据,包括每次医疗人员利用与外科集线器106、206配对的模块化装置时生成的数据。外科集线器106、206可从配对的模块化装置和其他数据源接收该数据,并且在接收新数据时不断导出关于正在进行的手术的推论(即,背景信息),诸如在任何给定时间正在执行手术的哪个步骤。外科集线器106、206的态势感知系统能够例如记录与用于生成报告的手术相关的数据,验证医务人员正在采取的步骤,提供可能与特定手术步骤相关的数据或提示(例如,经由显示屏),基于背景调节模块化装置(例如,激活监测器,调节医学成像装置的视场(FOV),或者改变超声外科器械或RF电外科器械的能量水平),以及采取上述任何其它此类动作。
作为该示例性手术中的第一步5202,医院工作人员从医院的EMR数据库中检索患者的EMR。基于EMR中的选择的患者数据,外科集线器106、206确定待执行的手术是胸腔手术。
第二步5204,工作人员扫描用于手术的进入的医疗用品。外科集线器106、206与在各种类型的手术中使用的用品列表交叉引用扫描的用品,并确认供应的混合物对应于胸腔手术。另外,外科集线器106、206还能够确定手术不是楔形手术(因为进入的用品缺乏胸腔楔形手术所需的某些用品,或者在其它方面不对应于胸腔楔形手术)。
第三步5206,医疗人员经由可通信地连接到外科集线器106、206的扫描器来扫描患者频带。然后,外科集线器106、206可基于所扫描的数据来确认患者的身份。
第四步5208,医务工作人员打开辅助设备。所利用的辅助设备可根据外科手术的类型和外科医生待使用的技术而变化,但在此示例性情况下,它们包括排烟器、吹气器和医学成像装置。当激活时,作为其初始化过程的一部分,作为模块化装置的辅助设备可以自动与位于模块化装置特定附近的外科集线器106、206配对。然后,外科集线器106、206可通过检测在该术前阶段或初始化阶段期间与其配对的模块化装置的类型来导出关于外科手术的背景信息。在该具体示例中,外科集线器106、206确定外科手术是基于配对模块化装置的该特定组合的VATS手术。基于来自患者的EMR的数据的组合,手术中使用的医疗用品的列表以及连接到集线器的模块化装置的类型,外科集线器106、206通常可推断外科小组将执行的具体手术。一旦外科集线器106、206知道正在执行什么具体手术,外科集线器106、206便可从存储器或云中检索该手术的步骤,并且然后交叉参照其随后从所连接的数据源(例如,模块化装置和患者监测装置)接收的数据,以推断外科团队正在执行的外科手术的什么步骤。
第五步5210,工作人员成员将EKG电极和其它患者监测装置附接到患者。EKG电极和其它患者监测装置能够与外科集线器106、206配对。当外科集线器106、206开始从患者监测装置接收数据时,外科集线器106、206因此确认患者在手术室中。
第六步5212,医疗人员诱导患者麻醉。外科集线器106、206可基于来自模块化装置和/或患者监测装置的数据(包括例如EKG数据、血压数据、呼吸机数据、或它们的组合)推断患者处于麻醉下。在第六步5212完成时,肺分段切除手术的术前部分完成,并且手术部分开始。
第七步5214,折叠正在操作的患者肺部(同时通气切换到对侧肺)。例如,外科集线器106、206可从呼吸机数据推断出患者的肺已经塌缩。外科集线器106、206可推断手术的手术部分已开始,因为其可将患者的肺部塌缩的检测与手术的预期步骤(可先前访问或检索)进行比较,从而确定使肺塌缩是该特定手术中的第一手术步骤。
第八步5216,插入医疗成像装置(例如,内窥镜),并启动来自医疗成像装置的视频。外科集线器106、206通过其与医疗成像装置的连接来接收医疗成像装置数据(即,视频或图像数据)。在接收医疗成像装置数据之后,外科集线器106、206可确定外科手术的腹腔镜式部分已开始。另外,外科集线器106、206可确定正在执行的特定手术是分段切除术,而不是叶切除术(注意,楔形手术已经基于外科集线器106、206基于在手术的第二步5204处接收的数据而排除)。来自医疗成像装置124(图2)的数据可用于以多种不同的方式确定与正在执行的手术类型相关的背景信息,包括通过确定医疗成像装置相对于患者解剖结构的可视化取向的角度,监测所利用的医疗成像装置的数量(即,被激活并与外科集线器106、206配对),以及监测所利用的可视化装置的类型。例如,一种用于执行VATS肺叶切除术的技术将摄像机放置在隔膜上方的患者胸腔的下前拐角中,而一种用于执行VATS分段切除术的技术将摄像机相对于分段裂缝放置在前肋间位置。例如,使用模式识别或机器学习技术,可对态势感知系统进行训练,以根据患者解剖结构的可视化识别医疗成像装置的定位。作为另一个示例,一种用于执行VATS肺叶切除术的技术利用单个医疗成像装置,而用于执行VATS分段切除术的另一种技术利用多个摄像机。作为另一示例,一种用于执行VATS分段切除术的技术利用红外光源(其可作为可视化系统的一部分可通信地联接到外科集线器)以可视化不用于VATS肺部切除术中的分段裂隙。通过从医疗成像装置跟踪这些数据中的任何或所有,外科集线器106、206因此可确定正在进行的外科手术的具体类型和/或用于特定类型的外科手术的技术。
第九步5218,外科团队开始手术的解剖步骤。外科集线器106、206可推断外科医生正在解剖以调动患者的肺,因为其从RF发生器或超声发生器接收指示正在击发能量器械的数据。外科集线器106、206可将所接收的数据与外科手术的检索步骤交叉,以确定在过程中的该点处(即,在先前讨论的手术步骤完成之后)击发的能量器械对应于解剖步骤。在某些情况下,能量器械可为安装到机器人外科系统的机械臂的能量工具。
第十步5220,外科团队继续进行手术的结扎步骤。外科集线器106、206可推断外科医生正在结扎动脉和静脉,因为其从外科缝合和切割器械接收指示器械正在被击发的数据。与先前步骤相似,外科集线器106、206可通过将来自外科缝合和切割器械的数据的接收与该过程中的检索步骤进行交叉引用来推导该推论。在某些情况下,外科器械可以是安装到机器人外科系统的机器人臂的外科工具。
第十一步5222,执行手术的分段切除术部分。外科集线器106、206可推断外科医生正在基于来自外科缝合和切割器械的数据(包括来自其仓的数据)横切软组织。仓数据可对应于例如由器械击发的钉的大小或类型。由于不同类型的钉用于不同类型的组织,因此仓数据可指示正被缝合和/或横切的组织的类型。在这种情况下,被击发的钉的类型用于软组织(或其它类似的组织类型),这允许外科集线器106、206推断手术的分段切除术部分正在进行。
第十二步5224中,执行节点解剖步骤。外科集线器106、206可基于从发生器接收的指示正在击发RF或超声器械的数据来推断外科团队正在解剖节点并且执行泄漏测试。对于该特定手术,在横切软组织后使用的RF或超声器械对应于节点解剖步骤,该步骤允许外科集线器106、206进行此类推论。应当指出的是,外科医生根据手术中的具体步骤定期在外科缝合/切割器械和外科能量(即,RF或超声)器械之间来回切换,因为不同器械更好地适于特定任务。因此,其中使用缝合/切割器械和外科能量器械的特定序列可指示外科医生正在执行的手术的步骤。此外,在某些情况下,机器人工具可用于外科手术中的一个或多个步骤,并且/或者手持式外科器械可用于外科手术中的一个或多个步骤。(一个或多个)外科医生可例如在机器人工具与手持式外科器械之间交替和/或可同时使用装置。在第十二步5224完成时,切口被闭合并且手术的术后部分开始。
第十三步5226,逆转患者的麻醉。例如,外科集线器106、206可基于例如呼吸机数据(即,患者的呼吸率开始増加)推断出患者正在从麻醉中醒来。
最后,第十四步5228是医疗人员从患者移除各种患者监测装置。因此,当集线器从患者监测装置丢失EKG、BP和其它数据时,外科集线器106、206可推断患者正在被转移到恢复室。如从该示例性手术的描述可以看出,外科集线器106、206可根据从可通信地联接到外科集线器106、206的各种数据源接收的数据来确定或推断给定外科手术的每个步骤何时发生。
