云系统硬件和功能模块
图12为根据本公开的至少一个方面的由计算机实现的交互式外科系统的框图。在一个方面,由计算机实现的交互式外科系统被配置成能够监测和分析与各种外科系统的操作相关的数据,该外科系统包括外科集线器、外科器械、机器人装置以及手术室或医疗设施。由计算机实现的交互式外科系统包括基于云的分析系统。虽然基于云的分析系统被描述为外科系统,但不一定如此限制,并且通常可以是基于云的医疗系统。如图12中所示,基于云的分析系统包括多个外科器械7012(可与器械112相同或类似)、多个外科集线器7006(可与集线器106相同或类似)以及外科数据网络7001(可与网络201相同或类似),以将外科集线器7006联接到云7004(可与云204相同或类似)。多个外科集线器7006中的每一个通信地联接到一个或多个外科器械7012。集线器7006还经由网络7001通信地联接到由计算机实现的交互式外科系统的云7004。云7004是用于存储、操纵和传送基于各种外科系统的操作生成的数据的远程集中式硬件和软件源。如图12中所示,经由网络7001实现对云7004的访问,该网络可以是互联网或一些其它合适的计算机网络。联接到云7004的外科集线器7006可被认为是云计算系统(即,基于云的分析系统)的客户端侧。外科器械7012与外科集线器7006配对,以用于控制和实现如本文所述的各种外科手术或操作。
此外,外科器械7012可包括收发器,以用于向其对应的外科集线器7006(该外科集线器也可包括收发器)传输数据和从该外科集线器传输数据。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12中所示,云7004包括中央服务器7013(其可与图1中的远程服务器113和/或图9中的远程服务器213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7007。云7004的中央服务器7013共同掌管云计算系统,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中的每一个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,该机器可执行指令在被执行时使处理器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、建议和其它操作。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中的汇总医疗数据的数据库2212。
基于经由网络7001到各种外科集线器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的汇总医疗数据数据库7011内。具体地讲,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/或执行单独集线器7006自身无法实现的功能。为此,如图12中所示,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7007经由网络7001连接到多个外科集线器7006。以这种方式,I/O接口7007可被配置成能够在外科集线器7006和汇总医疗数据的数据库7011之间传输信息。因此,I/O接口7007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7007可包括一个或多个高速数据端口,该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被配置成能够托管由外科集线器7006执行的软件应用程序(例如,集线器应用程序)并向其提供共享能力。例如,集线器应用服务器7002可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的数据库7011的访问以及执行负载平衡。参考图13更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情境中产生的各种问题。具体地讲,外科器械7012可为数字外科装置,该数字外科装置被配置成能够与云7004进行交互以用于实现改善外科手术的执行的技术。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之间的交互方面。也可使用用于控制的其它合适的用户界面,诸如听觉控制的用户界面。
图13为根据本公开的至少一个方面的示出了由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,该多个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特别产生的问题提供数据分析解决方案。如图13中所示,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,该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定义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数据库7011中存储和检索数据或从该汇总医疗数据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还存储数据(例如,暂时地)并且联接到API 7016以用于更有效地检索应用程序7014所使用的数据。图13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、建议模块7030以及数据分类和优先化模块7032。根据一些方面,云7004还可以实现其它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、结果和其它数据的特定建议。
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。具体地讲,由外科器械7012的操作生成的对数据集可包括应用二元分类,例如,出血或非出血事件。更一般地,二元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)。汇总的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独数据。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它组织数据。为此,处理器7008可以可操作地联接到集线器应用程序7014和汇总医疗数据的数据库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的数据库2212中。
资源优化模块7020可被配置成能够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优使用。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外科缝合器械7012对于一组医疗设施的最优顺序点。资源优化模块7020还可评估各种医疗设施的资源使用或其它操作配置以确定是否可改善资源使用。类似地,建议模块7030可被配置成能够分析来自数据收集和汇总模块7022的汇总组织数据以提供建议。例如,建议模块7030可基于例如高于预期错误率向医疗设施(例如,医疗服务提供商,诸如医院)建议应将特定外科器械7012升级至改善的版本。另外,建议模块7030和/或资源优化模块7020可建议更好的供应链参数,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接收此类建议。还可提供关于各种外科器械7012的参数或配置的更具体的建议。集线器7006和/或外科器械7012还可各自具有显示由云7004提供的数据或建议的显示屏。
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它潜在操作参数。就这一点而言,建议模块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)来建议使用这些其它潜在操作参数。例如,建议模块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使用特定仓的建议。因此,基于云的分析系统在控制公共变量时可被配置成能够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建议(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、医疗提供商之间的地理类似性、哪些医疗提供商/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单独都不能独立地分析。
控制程序更新模块7026可被配置成能够在对应的控制程序被更新时执行各种外科器械7012建议。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)结果链接的相关性。当更新的控制程序经由控制程序更新模块7026传输至外科器械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收集和分析的汇总执行数据。另外,患者结果分析模块7028和建议模块7030可基于汇总执行数据来识别使用器械7012的改善方法。
基于云的分析系统可包括由云7004实现的安全特征。这些安全特征可由授权和安全模块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、密码和其它合适的安全凭证。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定程度上与云通信(例如,可仅参与传输或接收某些限定类型的信息)。为此,云7004的汇总医疗数据的数据库7011可包括用于验证所提供的凭证的准确性的授权凭证的数据库。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”的其它装置的数据库。具体地讲,可不允许黑名单上列出的外科集线器7006与云进行交互,而黑名单上列出的外科器械7012不可具有对对应的集线器7006的功能访问和/或可在与其对应的集线器7006配对时被阻止完全起作用。除此之外或作为另外一种选择,云7004可基于不相容性或其它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,该无线信号可表示例如用于访问对应集线器7006和云7004的授权凭证。有线收发器也可用于传输信号。此类授权凭证可存储在外科器械7012的相应存储器装置中。授权和安全模块7024可确定授权凭证是准确的还是伪造的。授权和安全模块7024还可动态地生成用于增强的安全的授权凭证。凭证也可被加密,诸如通过使用基于散列的加密。在传输恰当授权时,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可转变成能够用于接收医疗数据以存储到汇总医疗数据的数据库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授权凭证来解决本地或全局问题。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授权凭证以实现该组的操作闭锁。
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)以确定改善的实践并相应地建议改变(例如,经由建议模块2030)。因此,云7004的处理器7008可分析与单独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它医疗设施相关联的其它数据汇总。例如,可以基于类似的操作实践或地理位置来定义组。这样,云7004可提供医疗设施组范围内的分析和建议。基于云的分析系统也可用于增强态势感知。例如,处理器7008可对建议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它设施或任何其它可比较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它数据分析模块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。不同的优先级别可引起来自云7004的特定响应(对应于紧急性级别),诸如加速响应的递增、特殊处理、汇总医疗数据的数据库7011的排除或其它合适的响应。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)。推送消息可引起在对应的集线器7006上显示的用于请求支持或附加数据的通知。在云检测到显著的不规则性或异常性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可被编程为在某些显著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定阈值的预期值时或当其表现出安全已被包括时。

尽管包括响应于感测数据的控制算法的“智能”装置可以是对在不考虑感测数据的情况下操作的“哑巴”装置的改进,但当孤立地考虑时,即在没有正在被执行的外科手术的类型或正在手术的组织的类型的背景下,一些感测数据可能是不完整的或不确定的。在不知道手术背景(例如,知道正在手术的组织的类型或正在被执行的手术的类型)的情况下,控制算法可能在给定的特定无背景感测数据的情况下错误地或次优地控制模块化装置。例如,用于响应于特定的感测参数来控制外科器械的控制算法的最佳方式可根据正在手术的特定组织类型而变化。这是由于以下事实:不同的组织类型具有不同的属性(例如,抗撕裂性),并且因此不同地响应于由外科器械采取的动作。因此,可能期望外科器械即使在感测到针对特定参数的相同测量时也采取不同的动作。作为一个特定示例,响应于器械感测到用于闭合其端部执行器的意外高的力来控制外科缝合和切割器械的最佳方式将根据组织类型是易于撕裂还是抗撕裂而变化。对于易于撕裂的组织(诸如肺部组织),器械的控制算法将响应于用于闭合的意外高的力而最佳地使马达速度逐渐下降,从而避免撕裂组织。对于抗撕裂的组织(诸如胃组织),器械的控制算法将响应于用于闭合的意外高的力而最佳地使马达速度逐渐上升,从而确保端部执行器被恰当地夹持在组织上。在不知道是肺部组织还是胃组织已被夹持的情况下,控制算法可做出次优决定。
一种解决方案利用包括系统的外科集线器,该系统被配置成能够基于从各种数据源接收到的数据来导出关于正在被执行的外科手术的信息,然后相应地控制配对的模块化装置。换句话讲,外科集线器被配置成能够从所接收的数据推断关于外科手术的信息,然后基于所推断的外科手术的背景来控制与外科集线器配对的模块化装置。图14示出了根据本公开的至少一个方面的态势感知外科系统5100的图。在一些范例中,数据源5126包括例如模块化装置5102(其可包括被配置成能够检测与患者和/或模块化装置本身相关联的参数的传感器)、数据库5122(例如,包含患者记录的EMR数据库)和患者监测装置5124(例如,血压(BP)监测器和心电图(EKG)监测器)。
外科集线器5104(其可在许多方面类似于集线器106)可被配置成能够例如基于所接收的数据的特定组合或从数据源5126接收数据的特定顺序来从数据导出与外科手术有关的背景信息。从所接收的数据推断的背景信息可包括例如正在被执行的外科手术的类型、外科医生正在执行的外科手术的特定步骤、正在手术的组织的类型或为手术的对象的体腔。外科集线器5104的一些方面从所接收的数据导出或推断与外科手术有关的信息的这种能力可被称为“态势感知”。在一个范例中,外科集线器5104可并入态势感知系统,该态势感知系统是与外科集线器5104相关联的从所接收的数据导出与外科手术有关的背景信息的硬件和/或程序设计。
外科集线器5104的态势感知系统可被配置成能够以多种不同的方式从接收自数据源5126的数据导出背景信息。在一个范例中,态势感知系统包括已经在训练数据上进行训练以将各种输入(例如,来自数据库5122、患者监测装置5124和/或模块化装置5102的数据)与关于外科手术的对应背景信息相关联的模式识别系统或机器学习系统(例如,人工神经网络)。换句话讲,机器学习系统可被训练成从所提供的输入准确地导出关于外科手术的背景信息。在另一个范例中,态势感知系统可包括查找表,该查找表存储与对应于背景信息的一个或多个输入(或输入范围)相关联的关于外科手术的预先表征的背景信息。响应于利用一个或多个输入的查询,查找表可返回态势感知系统用于控制模块化装置5102的对应背景信息。在一个范例中,由外科集线器5104的态势感知系统接收的背景信息与用于一个或多个模块化装置5102的特定控制调节或一组控制调节相关联。在另一个范例中,态势感知系统包括当提供背景信息作为输入时生成或检索用于一个或多个模块化装置5102的一个或多个控制调节的另外的机器学习系统、查找表或其它此类系统。
结合有态势感知系统的外科集线器5104为外科系统5100提供了许多益处。一个益处包括改进对感测和收集到的数据的解释,这将继而改进外科手术过程期间的处理精度和/或数据的使用。回到先前的示例,态势感知外科集线器5104可确定正在手术的组织的类型;因此,当检测到用于闭合外科器械的端部执行器的意外高的力时,态势感知外科集线器5104可正确地使用于组织类型的外科器械的马达速度逐渐上升或逐渐下降。
作为另一个示例,正在手术的组织的类型可影响针对特定组织间隙测量对外科缝合和切割器械的压缩率和负载阈值进行的调节。态势感知外科集线器5104可推断正在被执行的外科手术是胸腔手术还是腹部手术,从而允许外科集线器5104确定被外科缝合和切割器械的端部执行器夹持的组织是肺部组织(对于胸腔手术)还是胃组织(对于腹部手术)。然后,外科集线器5104可针对组织的类型适当地调节外科缝合和切割器械的压缩率和负载阈值。
作为又一个示例,在吹入手术期间被操作的体腔的类型可影响排烟器的功能。态势感知外科集线器5104可确定外科部位是否处于压力下(通过确定外科手术正在利用吹入)并确定手术类型。由于一种手术类型通常在特定的体腔内执行,外科集线器5104然后可针对在其中进行操作的体腔适当地控制排烟器的马达速率。因此,态势感知外科集线器5104可提供对于胸腔和腹部手术两者一致的烟排出量。
作为又一个示例,正在被执行的手术的类型可影响超声外科器械或射频(RF)电外科器械操作的最佳能量水平。例如,关节镜手术需要更高的能量水平,因为超声外科器械或RF电外科器械的端部执行器浸没在流体中。态势感知外科集线器5104可确定外科手术是否是关节镜手术。然后,外科集线器5104可调节发生器的RF功率水平或超声振幅(即“能量水平”)以补偿流体填充的环境。相关地,正在手术的组织的类型可影响超声外科器械或RF电外科器械操作的最佳能量水平。态势感知外科集线器5104可确定正在被执行的外科手术的类型,然后根据该外科手术的预期组织概况分别定制超声外科器械或RF电外科器械的能量水平。此外,态势感知外科集线器5104可被配置成能够在整个外科手术过程中而不是仅在逐个手术的基础上调节超声外科器械或RF电外科器械的能量水平。态势感知外科集线器5104可确定正在被执行或随后将要被执行的外科手术的步骤,然后更新用于发生器和/或超声外科器械或RF电外科器械的控制算法,以根据该外科手术步骤将能量水平设定在适合于预期组织类型的值。
作为又一个示例,可从附加数据源5126提取数据,以改进外科集线器5104从一个数据源5126提取的结论。态势感知外科集线器5104可用已从其它数据源5126构建的关于外科手术的背景信息来扩充其从模块化装置5102接收的数据。例如,态势感知外科集线器5104可被配置成能够根据从医疗成像装置接收到的视频或图像数据来确定止血是否已经发生(即,在外科部位的出血是否已经停止)。然而,在一些情况下,视频或图像数据可能是不确定的。因此,在一个范例中,外科集线器5104还可被配置成能够将生理测量值(例如,由可通信地连接至外科集线器5104的BP监测器感测的血压)与止血的视觉或图像数据(例如,来自可通信地联接到外科集线器5104的医疗成像装置124(图2))进行比较,以确定缝合线或组织焊缝的完整性。换句话讲,外科集线器5104的态势感知系统可考虑生理测量数据以在分析可视化数据时提供附加的背景。当可视化数据本身可能是不确定的或不完整的时,附加背景可以是有用的。
另一益处包括根据正在被执行的外科手术的特定步骤主动且自动地控制配对的模块化装置5102,以减少在外科手术过程期间医疗人员需要与外科系统5100交互或控制外科系统的次数。例如,如果态势感知外科集线器5104确定手术的后续步骤需要使用RF电外科器械,则其可主动地激活与该器械连接的发生器。主动地激活能量源允许器械在手术的先前步骤一完成就准备好使用。
作为另一个示例,态势感知外科集线器5104可根据在外科部位处外科医生预期需要查看的(一个或多个)特征来确定外科手术的当前步骤或后续步骤是否需要在显示器上的不同视图或放大程度。然后,外科集线器5104可相应地主动改变所显示的视图(例如,由用于可视化系统108的医疗成像装置提供),使得在整个外科手术中自动调节显示器。
作为又一个示例,态势感知外科集线器5104可确定外科手术的哪个步骤正在被执行或随后将要执行以及针对外科手术的该步骤是否需要特定数据或数据之间的比较。外科集线器5104可被配置成能够基于正在被执行的外科手术的步骤自动地调用数据屏幕,而无需等待外科医生请求该特定信息。
另一个益处包括在外科手术的设置期间或在外科手术的过程期间检查错误。例如,态势感知外科集线器5104可确定手术室是否被恰当地或最佳地设置以用于待执行的外科手术。外科集线器5104可被配置成能够确定正在被执行的外科手术的类型,(例如,从存储器中)检索对应的清单、产品位置或设置需求,然后将当前手术室布局与外科集线器5104确定的用于该正在被执行的外科手术类型的标准布局进行比较。在一个范例中,外科集线器5104可被配置成能够将用于手术的物品列表(例如,由合适的扫描仪扫描)和/或与外科集线器5104配对的装置列表与用于给定外科手术的物品和/或装置的建议或预期清单进行比较。外科集线器5104可被配置成能够如果列表之间存在任何不连续性,则提供指示特定模块化装置5102、患者监测装置5124和/或其它外科物品缺失的警示。在一个范例中,外科集线器5104可被配置成能够例如经由接近传感器来确定模块化装置5102和患者监测装置5124的相对距离或位置。外科集线器5104可将装置的相对位置与用于特定外科手术的建议或预期布局进行比较。外科集线器5104可被配置成能够如果在布局之间存在任何不连续性,则提供指示用于该外科手术的当前布局偏离建议布局的警示。
作为另一个示例,态势感知外科集线器5104可确定外科医生(或其它医疗人员)在外科手术过程期间是否正在出错或以其它方式偏离预期的动作过程。例如,外科集线器5104可被配置成能够确定正在被执行的外科手术的类型,(例如,从存储器中)检索对应的步骤列表或设备使用的顺序,然后将在外科手术过程期间正在被执行的步骤或正在被使用的设备与外科集线器5104确定的针对该正在被执行的外科手术类型的预期步骤或设备进行比较。在一个范例中,外科集线器5104可被配置成能够提供指示在外科手术中的特定步骤处正在执行意外动作或正在利用意外装置的警示。
总体而言,用于外科集线器5104的态势感知系统通过针对每种外科手术的特定背景调节外科器械(和其它模块化装置5102)(诸如针对不同的组织类型进行调节)并在外科手术期间验证动作来改善外科手术结果。态势感知系统还根据手术的特定背景通过自动建议下一步骤、提供数据以及调节显示器和手术室中的其它模块化装置5102来提高外科医生执行外科手术的效率。
现在参见图15,其示出了描绘集线器诸如外科集线器106或206(图1-11)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可以从配对的模块化装置和其它数据源接收该数据,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过程相关的数据,验证医务人员正在采取的步骤,提供可能与特定过程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,调节医疗成像装置的视场(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利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。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、吹入器和医疗成像装置。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,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)。在接收到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处接收到的数据而排除)。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相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相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相机。作为另一个示例,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追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器人臂的能量工具。
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,在横切软组织后利用的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,反向麻醉患者。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。
态势感知进一步描述于2018年4月19日提交的标题为“METHOD OF HUBCOMMUNICATION”的美国临时专利申请序列号62/659,900中,该专利申请全文以引用方式并入本文。在某些情况下,机器人外科系统(包括例如本文所公开的各种机器人外科系统)的操作可由集线器106、206基于其态势感知和/或来自其部件的反馈和/或基于来自云104的信息来控制。
在视觉上评估手术室的元数据和外科装置的控制
在各种方面,计算机系统,诸如结合图1至图11所述的外科集线器106、206可被编程为经由相机组件追踪手术室内的外科装置或外科人员。手术室内外科装置和/或外科人员的图像可提供多种多样的数据,包括外科装置的姿势(即,位置和取向)、外科装置的放置(例如,外科器械当前通过哪个套管针插入)、外科工作人员正在操作哪个外科装置、正在由外科人员执行的手势或活动、外科人员的位置等等。在一个方面,由外科人员和/或外科器械的视觉评估生成的数据可被保存为与从外科装置接收的围手术期数据相关联或相链接的元数据。此类元数据可为由外科装置生成的围手术期数据提供附加背景,所述围手术期数据可由如上文在标题“SITUATIONAL AWARENESS”下所述的由外科集线器执行的态势感知系统或如上文在标题“CLOUD SYSTEM HARDWARE AND FUNCTIONAL MODULES”下所述的云计算系统所利用,用于执行分析以识别例如数据趋势或相关性。在另一方面,由外科人员和/或外科器械的视觉评估生成的数据可用于控制手术室内的外科装置。
在一个方面,计算机系统可利用外科部位(例如,经历腹腔镜手术的患者的腹腔)外部的手术室的视频/图像。在该方面,捕获图像以供由本文所述的计算机系统分析的相机组件可排除来自腹腔镜、胸腔镜或用于可视化患者身体内部的另一种此类内窥镜和/或摄像机的图像。相反,相机组件可包括相机,该相机围绕手术室定位以可视化外科装置如何被利用,以及外科人员如何彼此交互和与外科装置交互,以为在手术室内发生的动作提供更广泛的背景。在另一方面,外部捕获的视频/图像可与来自内窥镜的视频/图像结合使用,以用于在使用中分析和/或改善对外科装置的控制。
图16为根据本公开的至少一个方面的示例性手术室设置的图。在各种具体实施中,外科集线器211801可经由通信协议(例如,蓝牙)可通信地连接到手术室211800内的一个或多个相机211802、外科器械211810、显示器211806、听诊灯211808、以及其它外科装置,如上文在标题“SURGICALHUBS(外科集线器)”下所述。相机211802可被取向,以便在外科手术的过程期间捕获手术室211800内外科工作人员211803和/或外科器械211810(或其它外科装置)的图像和/或视频。所捕获的一个或多个图像可包括静态图像或运动图像(即,视频)。外科工作人员211803和/或外科器械211810的图像可以多种角度和放大率利用不同的滤波器等捕获。在一个具体实施中,相机211802被布置在手术室211800内,使得它们可以共同可视化执行手术的每个外科工作人员。因此,外科集线器211801可以从相机211802接收所捕获的图像和/或视频数据,以在外科手术期间在视觉上分析外科工作人员211803和/或外科器械211810。可利用多种机器视觉、图像处理、对象识别和光学追踪技术来处理图像和/或视频数据,以追踪外科工作人员211803和/或外科器械211810的特性、属性、动作和运动。
图17A为根据本公开的至少一个方面的用于控制外科装置的过程211600的逻辑流程图。过程211600可由计算机系统的处理器或控制电路(诸如图10中所示的外科集线器206的处理器244)执行。因此,过程211600可体现为存储在存储器249中的计算机可执行指令集,该计算机可执行指令集在由处理器244执行时使计算机系统(例如,外科集线器211801)执行所描述的步骤。
因此,执行过程211600的处理器244经由位于其中的相机211802的组件捕获211602手术室211800的一个或多个图像(其可包括静态图像或视频)。可通过过程211600分析包括外科工作人员211803和/或外科装置的任何捕获的图像,以探知关于外科工作人员211803和/或用于控制外科装置的外科装置的信息。可以利用多种图像或对象识别技术(包括外观和基于特征的技术)从由相机211802的组件捕获的图像中识别待追踪或监测的目标(即,外科工作人员211803和外科装置)。例如,可利用边缘检测算法(例如,Canny边缘检测器算法)来处理所捕获的图像,以生成每个图像内的各种对象的轮廓。然后算法可将目标对象的模板与包含所概述的对象的图像进行比较,以确定目标对象中的任一者是否位于图像内。又如,算法可从所捕获的图像中提取特征。然后可将所提取的特征反馈到经由监督或无监督学习技术训练的机器学习模型(例如,人工神经网络或支持向量机),以将特征向量与目标相关联。特征可包括边缘(例如,经由Canny边缘检测器算法提取的)、曲率、拐角(例如,经由Harris&Stephens拐角检测器算法提取的)等等。
因此,处理器244确定211604由图像捕获的外科人员和/或外科装置的特性或条件。此类特性或条件可包括物理属性、动作、其它对象或个体之间的交互等。更具体地讲,外科工作人员211803的特性或条件可包括外科工作人员211803是否正在执行手势211804(如图16中所示)、外科工作人员211803是否握持给定的外科器械211810、外科工作人员211803位于何处、手术室内的外科工作人员211803的数量、外科工作人员211803是否正在与外科装置交互(并且外科装置正在与之交互)、外科工作人员211803是否正在将外科器械211810或另一外科装置传递到另一外科工作人员211803、与外科工作人员211803相关联的物理属性(例如,手势、臂位置、腕部角度)等等。外科装置的特性或条件可包括它们的姿势、它们是否在被有效地使用(例如,发生器是否正在有效地向连接的外科器械211810供应能量)、外科器械211810是否正在通过套管针被插入(以及该套管针的位置或标识)等等。
因此,处理器244控制211606外科装置,该外科装置以取决于特定确定的特性或条件的方式与外科集线器211801配对。例如,如果处理器244确定211604外科工作人员211803正在做出“改变器械模式”手势,则处理器244可将信号传输到或以其它方式控制211606连接到外科集线器211801的特定外科器械211810(或其相关联的发生器),以改变外科器械211810的操作模式(例如,将电外科器械从密封模式改变为切割模式)。这将允许外科人员控制外科器械211810而无需与外科器械211810本身直接交互。又如,如果处理器244确定211604外科器械211810正在从一个外科工作人员211803(例如,护士)被传递(或正在准备被传递)到另一个外科工作人员211803(例如,外科医生),则处理器244可将信号传输到能量发生器或以其它方式控制能量发生器211606,以激活并开始向所连接的外科器械211810供应能量。这将允许外科集线器211801预先激活外科器械211810,使得它们准备好使用而外科医生不需要采取任何肯定动作。又如,如果处理器244确定211604外科器械211810在被击发时(或即将被击发时)处于特定取向,处理器244可将信号传输到外科器械211810或以其它方式控制211606外科器械211810,以相应地修改外科器械211810的操作参数(例如,击发力或最大允许关节运动角度)。这将允许外科集线器211801控制外科器械211810的功能以考虑外科器械211810的放置和取向的差异。
在另一方面,除了或代替手势识别系统211500,外科集线器211801可包括语音识别系统,如下文所述。在该方面,外科集线器211801可被编程为识别和响应于多种语音命令并相应地控制任何连接的外科装置的功能。
在另一方面,图17B为根据本公开的至少一个方面的用于生成外科元数据的过程211620的逻辑流程图。如上文结合图17A所述,过程211620可由处理器244执行。因此,执行过程211620的处理器244可捕获211622图像/视频数据并确定211624外科工作人员211803和/或外科器械211810的特性,如上文结合图17A所述。然而,在该方面,处理器244将特性或条件保存211626为与由外科装置在外科手术的过程期间生成的围手术期数据相关联或相链接的元数据。如上所述,保存211626为元数据的特性或条件可包括手术室211800内的外科工作人员211803和外科器械211810之间的宽范围的物理属性、由其执行的动作和交互。
在结合图17A和图17B所述的过程211600、211620的一个具体实施中,外科集线器211801可被配置成能够识别并响应于由手术室211800内的个体执行的手势。例如,图18为根据本公开的至少一个方面的手势识别系统211500的框图。在以下对图18的描述中,还应当参考图10和图16。手势识别系统211500包括手势识别模块211504,该手势识别模块可由计算机系统的处理器或控制电路(诸如图10中所示的外科集线器206的处理器244)执行。因此,手势识别模块211504可体现为存储在存储器249中的计算机可执行指令集,该计算机可执行指令集在由处理器244执行时使计算机系统(例如,外科集线器211801)执行所描述的步骤。
手势识别系统211500被编程为从图像识别硬件(例如,相机211802)接收图像或视频数据、识别可以由外科工作人员211803执行的各种手势211804(即,确定211604、211624是否正在结合图17A和图17B所述的过程211600、211620中执行手势)、以及在结合图17A和图17B所述的过程211600、211620中采取对应的动作或以其它方式响应于特定的检测手势211804(即,控制211606外科装置或将数据保存211626为元数据)。在一个方面,手势识别模块211504可以包括特征提取模块211506和手势分类模块211508。特征提取模块211506被编程为从图像/视频数据中提取可测量的区分性属性或特性(即,特征)。特征可包括边缘(例如,经由Canny边缘检测器算法提取的)、曲率、拐角(例如,经由Harris&Stephens拐角检测器算法提取的)等等。手势分类模块211508确定所提取的特征是否对应于来自手势集合的手势。在一个方面,手势分类模块211508可以包括已经由监督或无监督学习技术训练的机器学习模型(例如,人工神经网络或支持向量机),以将所提取的特征的特征向量与一个或多个输出手势相关联。在另一方面,手势分类模块211508可以包括基于Hu不变时刻的算法或k曲率算法以对手势进行分类。在又一方面,手势分类模块211508可以包括模板匹配算法,该模板匹配算法被编程为将特征化图像/视频数据(或其部分)与对应于预定义手势的模板进行匹配。其它方面可包括前述技术和用于对手势进行分类的其它技术的各种组合。
在经由手势识别模块211504识别手势时,手势识别系统211500可以采取动作211510或做出对应于所识别手势的响应。在一个方面,由计算机系统采取的动作211510包括控制手术室211800内的外科装置,如上文结合图17A所讨论。例如,执行手势识别模块211504的外科集线器211801可识别“亮度控制”手势,并且然后对应地使与外科集线器211801配对的听诊灯光211808变暗或变亮。又如,执行手势识别模块211504的外科集线器211801可识别“发生器打开”手势,并且然后激活与外科集线器211801配对的能量发生器,该能量发生器可继而为超声外科器械或连接到发生器的电外科器械供电。手势还可以用于改变正在显示在显示器211806上的信息(例如,滚动与手术器械211810相关联的菜单,或在正在显示的视频源之间交替);改变外科器械211810的模式、功能或操作参数(例如,将电外科器械从密封模式改变为横切模式);使示波器开始或停止录制视频;改变能量发生器的功率电平;等等。手势可为有益的,以便从无菌屏障内控制无菌屏障外的外科装置而不产生污染风险,允许不在手术室内直接操纵外科装置或不在外科装置附近的个体控制外科装置的功能,等等。
在另一方面,由计算机系统采取的动作211510包括将由外科人员做出的手势保存为与由外科装置在外科手术的过程期间生成的围手术期数据相关联或相链接的元数据,如上文结合图17B所讨论。此类元数据可能是有用的,以便确定外科人员是手动控制外科装置还是经由手势控制外科装置,这继而可与外科人员的表现、手术时间和其它此类度量相关联。在各种其它方面,计算机系统可控制一个或多个外科装置并将手势数据保存为元数据。
在另一方面,除了相机之外或代替相机211802,手势识别系统211500利用磁性感测系统从用户接收非接触输入,以在视觉上识别手势。在该方面,手势识别系统211500可包括例如可定位在手术室211800内的磁性感测阵列。磁性感测阵列可被配置成能够监测可由外科工作人员211803控制的磁性元件的位置。在一个方面,磁性元件可被构建到外科手套或另一此类衣物制品中。在另一方面,磁性元件可位于可由外科工作人员211803操纵的对象或令牌内。因此,磁性感测阵列可被配置成能够检测磁性感测元件随时间推移的位置,并且识别由个体执行的控制磁性元件的任何手势。与手势识别系统211500一样,用户可以滚动菜单或从手术室211800内的显示在显示器211806上的菜单中的选择项目,或者做出其它手势以控制手术室211800内的各种外科装置的功能。因此,磁性元件的位置、运动和/或取向可被用作用于控制显示器211806或由外科集线器211801连接的其它外科装置的追踪标记,无论它们位于无菌区域内还是无菌区域外。
在结合图17A和图17B所述的过程211600、211620的一个假想具体实施中,计算机系统(例如,外科集线器211801)可被配置成能够确定外科器械211654的姿势,如图19中所示,并且相应地控制211606外科器械211654或将腕部角度保存211626为元数据以用于分析。在该具体实施中,个体的腕部211650的角度被定义为由外科医生握持的外科器械211654的纵向轴线211656和个体的手的纵向轴线211652(即,近侧至远侧轴线)之间的角度α。在其它具体实施中,腕部角度可被定义为例如个体的手和前臂之间的角度。外科集线器211801可通过使用例如上述对象识别技术在视觉上识别正在由外科医生和外科医生的手操纵的外科器械211654来确定腕部角度α。
在图17B中所述过程211620的一个方面,腕部角度α可被保存211626为元数据并用于对推荐的外科技术执行分析。例如,图20的散点图211700表示关于腕部角度α和外科手术结果之间的关系的一个此类假想分析。在散点图211700中,竖直轴线211702表示腕部角度α,并且水平轴线211704表示手术结果。水平轴线211704在竖直轴线211702的右侧和左侧的部分可分别对应于例如正面手术结果和负面手术结果。可将多种不同的手术结果与外科医生的腕部角度α进行比较,诸如外科器械211654的特定手术步骤或击发是否导致过度出血、外科手术的重新手术的发生率等。此外,手术结果可以多种不同的方式量化,这取决于与外科医生的腕部角度α相比较的手术结果的特定类型。例如,如果手术结果是在外科器械211654的特定击发之后发生出血,则水平轴线211704可表示从外科器械211654的击发沿着切口线的血液的程度或量。此外,散点图211700中的每个绘制点的腕部角度α可以表示外科手术中的特定瞬间处的腕部角度α、外科手术的特定步骤期间的平均腕部角度α、外科手术期间的总体平均腕部角度等。此外,腕部角度α在特定时间瞬间处是对应于平均腕部角度α还是腕部角度α可对应于腕部角度α正在与之进行比较的手术结果的类型。例如,如果由水平轴线211704表示的手术结果为来自外科器械211654的击发的出血量,则竖直轴线211702可表示外科器械211654被击发的瞬间处的腕部角度α。又如,如果由水平轴线211704表示的手术结果为重新操作特定手术类型的发生率,则竖直轴线211702可表示外科手术期间的平均腕部角度α。
此外,然后可利用该数据来建立阈值或基线,这继而可用于在外科手术期间或外科手术完成之后向外科工作人员211803提供推荐,如标题为“USAGE AND TECHNIQUEANALYSIS OF SURGEON/STAFF PERFORMANCE AGAINST A BASELINE TO OPTIMIZE DEVICEUTILIZATION AND PERFORMANCE FOR BOTH CURRENT AND FUTURE PROCEDURES”的代理人案卷号:END9018USNP2/180517-2中所述,其与本文同时提交。例如,如图20中所示,计算机系统可计算描绘与正面手术结果最高度相关联的腕部角度α的范围的第一阈值211708a和第二阈值211708b。因此,第一阈值211708a和第二阈值211708b可限定第一操作范围或优选操作范围。例如,如果外科医生的腕部角度α在利用外科器械211654时处于该范围内,计算机系统可不采取任何动作。此外,计算机系统可计算描绘至少适度与正面外科结果相关联的腕部角度α的范围的第三阈值211706a和第四阈值211706b。因此,第三阈值211706a和第四阈值211706b可结合第一阈值211708a和第二阈值211708b来限定第二操作范围或警示操作范围,其中警示范围被限定为第一阈值211708a和第二阈值211708b与第三阈值211706a和第四阈值211706b的相对对之间的区域。例如,如果外科医生的腕部角度α在利用外科器械211654时处于警示范围内,计算机系统可为外科医生提供第一推荐以调节他或她的技术。第三阈值211706a和第四阈值211706b之外的范围可限定与负面手术结果高度相关联的第三或危险操作范围。例如,如果外科医生在利用外科器械211654时的腕部角度α处于危险范围内,计算机系统可为外科医生提供第二推荐以调节他或她的技术或停用外科器械211654。
在图17A中所述的过程211600的一个方面,外科器械211810可根据所确定的腕部角度α来控制211606。例如,外科集线器211801可调节外科器械211810的控制程序参数,诸如击发力、闭合力或最大允许关节运动角度,以补偿外科器械211810的取向。例如,此类补偿可确保外科器械211810的端部执行器施加与本应使外科器械211810更恰当地被取向的相同力。
在一个方面,计算机系统可被编程为创建取向指数,该取向指数限定外科器械211810相对于预定义或归一化参考系的姿势。这可允许无缝地比较在不同尺寸的手术室中捕获的数据。例如,当外科集线器206利用非接触传感器模块242扫描其周围环境时,可定义取向指数,如在标题“外科集线器”下所述。因此,计算机系统可以根据预定义的参考系检测并保存外科器械211810的姿势。
在其它具体实施中,计算机系统可追踪用于特定外科手术类型的套管针的位置和取向,然后可将该位置和取向保存为元数据和/或用于控制显示器211806或其它外科装置以向外科人员提供推荐。可分析套管针位置以确定哪个位置范围(或利用多个套管针的外科手术的位置组合)与正面手术结果最高度相关联。因此,计算机系统然后可以提供对未来外科手术中的套管针放置的推荐。
在其它具体实施中,计算机系统可以追踪柄部相对于周围对象(例如,手术台或其它设备)的位置,然后可以将该位置保存为元数据和/或用于控制显示器211806或其它外科装置以向外科人员提供推荐。例如,计算机系统可提供关于套管针放置的推荐以避免先前手术中的问题,在先前手术中,特定放置导致插入整个那些套管针中的外科器械211810被各种对象阻挡,从而导致更具挑战性的手术(例如,这可与更差的外科结果或更长的手术时间相关联)。
在其它具体实施中,计算机系统可以识别位于术前背部台上的设置中的外科器械211810和其它外科装置,以向外科手术数据和/或由态势感知系统做出的推断提供附加的背景,如在标题“态势感知”下所述。识别哪些外科装置在(或不在)术前设置中可通知由态势感知系统做出的稍后推断。
在其它具体实施中,计算机系统可从外科工作人员211803中识别循环护士和/或擦洗护士,并追踪她们的位置和活动,以帮助通知外科手术的下一个步骤可能是什么。擦洗护士的活动可以提供信息,因为擦洗护士通常检索预期接下来需要的外科器械211810,并且然后在需要时将该外科器械211810转移到外科医生。此外,一些外科器械211810或其它装置在它们被利用之前需要准备(例如,当由组织条件决定时,支撑物可放置在外科缝合器上)。因此,当擦洗护士正在握持外科器械211810时,正在由擦洗护士握持的该外科器械211810和正在由擦洗护士执行的准备可帮助推断正在执行或将执行外科手术的哪些步骤。此外,正在从循环护士转移到擦洗护士的新设备一般可通知手术进行得如何、通知正在执行哪些手术步骤、以及指示并发症的可能性。例如,如果正在将附加的辅助止血剂转移到洗擦护士,那可能指示外科手术进行得不顺利,因为存在比初始预期更多的出血。另外,循环护士将材料带入手术室中、调节无菌区域之外的外科装置设置等等。因此,这些活动可被监测并且还可用于通知正在执行外科手术的哪些步骤。
