This project aims to evaluate existing big data infrastructures for their applicability in the operating room to support medical staff with context-sensitive systems. Requirements for the system design were generated. The project compares different data mining technologies, interfaces, and software system infrastructures with a focus on their usefulness in the peri-operative setting. The lambda architecture was chosen for the proposed system design, which will provide data for both postoperative analysis and real-time support during surgery.
Introduction: Even if there is a standard procedure of CI surgery, especially in pediatric surgery surgical steps often differ individually due to anatomical variations, malformations or unforseen events. This is why every surgical report should be created individually, which takes time and relies on the correct memory of the surgeon. A standardized recording of intraoperative data and subsequent storage as well as text processing would therefore be desirable and provides the basis for subsequent data processing, e.g. in the context of research or quality assurance.
Method: In cooperation with Reutlingen University, we conducted a workflow analysis of the prototype of a semi-automatic checklist tool. Based on automatically generated checklists generated from BPMN models a prototype user interface was developed for an android tablet. Functions such as uploading photos and files, manual user entries, the interception of foreseeable deviations from the normal course of operations and the automatic creation of OP documentation could be implemented. The system was tested in a remote usability test on a petrous bone model.
Result: The user interface allows a simple intuitive handling, which can be well implemented in the intraoperative setting. Clinical data as well as surgical steps could be individually recorded and saved via DICOM. An automatic surgery report could be created and saved.
Summary: The use of a dynamic checklist tool facilitates the capture, storage and processing of surgical data. Further applications in clinical practice are pending.
Recent advances in artificial intelligence have enabled promising applications in neurosurgery that can enhance patient outcomes and minimize risks. This paper presents a novel system that utilizes AI to aid neurosurgeons in precisely identifying and localizing brain tumors. The system was trained on a dataset of brain MRI scans and utilized deep learning algorithms for segmentation and classification. Evaluation of the system on a separate set of brain MRI scans demonstrated an average Dice similarity coefficient of 0.87. The system was also evaluated through a user experience test involving the Department of Neurosurgery at the University Hospital Ulm, with results showing significant improvements in accuracy, efficiency, and reduced cognitive load and stress levels. Additionally, the system has demonstrated adaptability to various surgical scenarios and provides personalized guidance to users. These findings indicate the potential for AI to enhance the quality of neurosurgical interventions and improve patient outcomes. Future work will explore integrating this system with robotic surgical tools for minimally invasive surgeries.
