项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It has been documented that medical professionals are not satisfied with current operating room (OR) safety protocols. Improving safety is not solved by simply introducing new technology. One must understand the culture and practices of the OR prior to introducing new technology. The goal of this proposal is to create an environment in which both biomedical engineers and clinicians can work together to improve safety within the OR. To achieve this, a collaboration between the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and the Department of Surgery at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital was recently established. The main objective is to enhance senior BME capstone design experience by providing an opportunity for students to experience user-center design, that is, to provide an opportunity for the students to listen, observe and ask in a real-world setting. The emphasis is that the students will experience the culture of the OR and, based on their insights, develop appropriate technology to address the issue of surgical safety. Through this collaborative effort, the students will learn to identify engineering design problems in a clinical setting and gain knowledge of the overall engineering design process. The innovation of this proposal is that the BME students will be able to design and implement appropriate solutions to improve OR safety. OR safety is a significant problem that currently affects patients, hospitals and the healthcare system. This proposal will have a significant impact on our healthcare system by providing solutions that are contributed by both medical and technical professionals.

描述（由申请人提供）：据记录，医疗专业人员对当前的手术室 (OR) 安全协议不满意。提高安全性并不是简单地引入新技术就能解决的。在引入新技术之前，必须了解手术室的文化和实践。该提案的目标是创造一个生物医学工程师和临床医生可以共同努力提高手术室内安全性的环境。为了实现这一目标，伊利诺伊理工学院 (IIT) 生物医学工程系 (BME) 和 Advocate Lutheran 总医院外科部最近建立了合作关系。主要目标是通过为学生提供体验以用户为中心的设计的机会，即为学生提供在现实环境中倾听、观察和提问的机会，来增强高级 BME 顶点设计经验。重点是学生将体验手术室文化，并根据他们的见解开发适当的技术来解决手术安全问题。通过这种协作努力，学生将学会识别临床环境中的工程设计问题，并获得整个工程设计过程的知识。该提案的创新之处在于，BME 学生将能够设计和实施适当的解决方案来提高手术室安全性。手术室安全是目前影响患者、医院和医疗保健系统的一个重大问题。该提案将通过提供由医疗和技术专业人员共同贡献的解决方案，对我们的医疗保健系统产生重大影响。
