9 Top Benefits of Using Non-Invasive Cameras
Based on a small survey sampling, here are 9 ways your colleagues say
they're using headset-mounted and OR-light-mounted video cameras in the
OR to enhance operations:
1. Cameras are unobtrusive to business as usual in the OR.
2. Anesthesia can see the progress of a case.
3. Cases can be recorded for educational purposes, for students, or for clinicians and physicians from other facilities.
4. Setup is a snap, as cameras are automatically adjusted to the operating
field when the OR light is put in place.
5. HD allows the clearest view of the surgical site — observers can see
anatomy they wouldn't otherwise have been able to.
6. Staff keep up with the procedure in MIS cases, seeing what the surgeon
sees.
7. Flexibility of broadcast feeds — staff outside the OR can monitor the procedure to speed turnover and ensure patient readiness for the next case.
8. Recorded video can be added to the electronic medical record, creating a
complete digital file.
9. Your facility can teach and share thanks
to video conferencing and broadcasting
capabilities.
