PURPOSE: For many years, deep convolutional neural networks have achieved state-of-the-art results on a wide variety of computer vision tasks. 3D human pose estimation makes no exception and results on public benchmarks are impressive. However, speci...
PURPOSE: The aim of the current narrative review was to summarize the available evidence in the literature on artificial intelligence (AI) methods that have been applied during robotic surgery.
We conducted a systematic review of literature to better understand the role of new technologies in the perioperative period; in particular we focus on the administrative and managerial Operating Room (OR) perspective. Studies conducted on adult (≥ 1...
BACKGROUND: Operating room (OR) fires are uncommon but disastrous events. Inappropriate handling of OR fires can result in injuries, even death. Aiming to simulate OR fire emergencies and effectively train clinicians to react appropriately, we have d...
