VANCOUVER, BC, 7 de dezembro de 2021. Os pesquisadores agora têm o primeiro relato de caso de como as habilidades adquiridas por meio de PrecisionOS o treinamento de realidade virtual imersiva (iVR) pode melhorar diretamente e impactar o desempenho do cirurgião em um caso operatório real.
The documented report, which involved PrecisionOS® orthopedic surgeon training used at the University of British Columbia Medical Center (UBC), was published in JAAOS Global Research & Reviews, November 2021-Volume 5, issue 11. “Novel Application of Immersive Virtual Reality Simulation Training: A Case Report.”
Esboço do estudo: um paciente de 15 anos apresentou dor crônica na virilha e nas pernas. O cirurgião responsável pelo tratamento diagnosticou o jovem com epífise femoral capital escorregadia (SCFE) e realizou um procedimento de fixação per cutânea (colocação de um implante no quadril), interrompendo a cirurgia devido à dificuldade de visualização da estrutura óssea da perna e interpretação. Posteriormente, o cirurgião retornou o paciente à sala de cirurgia (SO) para uma segunda tentativa, também sem sucesso. Essas duas tentativas cirúrgicas fracassadas envolveram doses significativas de anestésico e radiação.
The patient was then transferred to the children’s hospital in the same medical center where the fifth-year orthopedic resident on duty practiced with a SCFE training module four consecutive times using the PrecisionOS iVR system The resident, who had not observed nor performed this procedure in more than two years improved his 3D spatial awareness by using the capability of the VR software to pull the deformed bone out of the body, and, after using many unique approaches and implant sizes offered by the PrecisionOS training module, determine the right implant for the procedure.
After completing the training, where his practices showed he had improved his performance evaluation from 70% to 93% (maximum score 100%). on PrecisionOS’ proprietary Precision Score tm análise, o residente então entrou em uma sala de operação ao vivo (sob supervisão apenas de um cirurgião ortopédico treinado na bolsa de estudos pediátrica) e posicionou o osso no local correto. Durante sua prática de cirurgia, ele também aprendeu que seria capaz de usar significativamente menos radiação .
PrecisonOS’ proprietary analysis score takes into consideration several variables related to performance including errors made, implant chosen, complications and technical skill. From the first to last practice case, the resident’s time was lowered from 8 minutes 44 seconds in the first session to 3 minutes 46 seconds, equating to a 232% reduction in training time.
Unlike any other system, this resident had the opportunity to engage in true simulation using the PrecisionOS system. It’s very encouraging to see how this technology, and their validated research findings can now have a direct impact on patient care,”. Dr. Kishore Mulpuri, Orthopedic Surgery Chair, UBC, said. This software has significant patient safety implications which is always our top priority as clinicians and educators”
O treinamento com o PrecisonOS também significou que o paciente foi finalmente exposto a 1/10 da dose de radiação das cirurgias originais malsucedidas e muito menos tempo anestésico, estabelecendo as implicações significativas desse sistema para a segurança do paciente.
“Being able to really feel like I actually performed the procedure four times before taking the patient to the OR was like night and day,” Ryan Lohre, M.D., the surgical resident who performed this procedure, stated. “It is not a stretch to say that PrecisionOS’ virtual reality training truly has the potential to save millions of patients from unnecessary pain, radiation, anesthetic time and hospitals from significant costs.”
The Case Report suggests that the use of the unique and validated approach to simulation implemented by PrecisionOS offers an unparalleled opportunity for surgeons’ to improve their performance, decision making, cognitive understanding and psycho motor skills before performing treatments on patients
Sobre o PrecisionOS
PrecisionOS was founded in partnership with clinical orthopedic surgeon educators and an expert group of XR (virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality) developers to create training for orthopedic surgeons. The company’s immersive simulations are scientifically validated, peer-reviewed and published in leading medical research journals. Participants engage in a realistic operating environment, alone or in collaboration with other trainees anywhere in the world, test their knowledge and desire to try alternate approaches, receive instructive feedback and repeat procedures until achieving proficiency.
A PrecisionOS está sediada em Vancouver, BC, com afiliações colaborativas com mais de 40 importantes instituições médicas nos Estados Unidos, Canadá. Seu software foi usado em mais de 35 países e 500 cidades em todo o mundo.
