Abstract:

Background and significance of research: Nurses’ awareness of professional values and how those values affect their behaviors is an integral part of nursing care. There is a large body of research on nursing professional values, however, a careful survey of the available literature did not yield any studies investigating the status of professional values in operating rooms. Objective: This study aims to investigate the perception of operating room nurses of university hospitals toward professional values. Research plan: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected using Schank and Weis’s Nurses Professional Values Scale–Revised. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS version 16. Participants and settings: The 513 participants of the study consisted of operating room nurses and nurse anesthetists from six university hospitals. Ethical considerations: This study has been approved by the ethics committee of the university. Findings: The mean total professional values score of the operating room staff was found to be 100.84 ± 15.685, which indicates that the participants had a positive perception toward observance of nursing professional values in practice. The results showed that the participants considered the domains of justice and activism as, respectively, the most and the least important. The operating room staff’s overall professional values scores were not found to correlate significantly with their ages, professional experience, university majors, or attendance at ethics workshops. However, a significant difference was found between the professional values scores of the female and male staff. The professional values scores of the operating room nurses and the nurse anesthetists were not significantly different (p value = 0.494). Conclusion: Operating room staff’s awareness of professional values is essential to providing care to patients based on professional principles. Accordingly, there is need for programs to raise operating room nurses’ awareness of their professional duties and improve their professional performance.

Abstract:

Training of non-technical skills helps to achieve reduction of human errors that could contribute to safety of patients. For assessment of non-technical skills of Operating Room (OR) nurses, researchers of the University of Aberdeen developed intra-operative work organization protocol for observation of non-technical behaviour. This system includes taxonomy of non-technical skills, definitions, desirable and adverse behavioural markers, and Likert scale for behavioural assessment. The objective of this research is to assess non-technical skills of OR nurses in work environment and compare the findings with OR nurses self-assessment of non-technical skills. The study involved 15 interviews with OR nurses in sterile position (scrub nurses) and 15 observations of their work in four hospitals. Providing self-assessment, OR nurses note a tendency to minimal communication. In practice, nurses often show good ability to think analytically, to predict events and needs and are able to act decisively during surgery. OR nurses in Latvia partially associate their work with non-technical skills, however in practice these skills are used, and they were relatively highly valued during the study. Insufficient self-assessment of such skills of nurses as cooperation in performance of physical tasks, promotion of personnel safety and decisive action, indicates the need for development of scrub nurse's work standards with clearly defined area of responsibility and duties.

Abstract:

BackgroundAvoidable complications for surgical patients still occur despite efforts to improve patient safety processes in operating rooms. Analysis of experiences of operating room nurses can contribute to better understanding of perioperative processes and flow, and why avoidable complications still occur.AimTo explore aspects of patient safety practice during joint replacement surgery through assessment of operating room nurse experiences.MethodA qualitative design using semistructured interviews with 21 operating room nurses currently involved in joint replacement surgery in Sweden. Inductive qualitative content analysis was used.ResultsThe operating room nurses described experiences with patient safety hazards on an organisational, team and individual level. Uncertainties concerning a reliable plan for the procedure and functional reporting, as well as documentation practices, were identified as important. Teamwork and collaboration were described as crucial at the team level, including being respected as valuable, having shared goals and common expectations. On the individual level, professional knowledge, skills and experience were needed to make corrective steps.ConclusionThe conditions to support patient safety, or limit complication risk, during joint replacement surgery continue to be at times inconsistent, and require steady performance attention. Operating room nurses make adjustments to help solve problems as they arise, where there are obvious risks for patient complications. The organisational patient safety management process still seems to allow deviation from established practice standards at times, and relies on individual-based corrective measures at the ‘bedside’ at times for good results.

Abstract:

The predicted future operating room nurse and surgical technologist shortages may have significant implications for the healthcare industry. Improving the job satisfaction of operating room personnel could promote retention and provide adequate staffing in operating rooms. The job satisfaction of operating room nurses and surgical technologists can result in positive or negative work environments. The purpose of the qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the perceptions of job satisfaction of operating room nurses and surgical technologists to discover how job satisfaction influences the intent to leave or remain in the work environment of the operating room. A purposive selection was made of 12 registered nurses and 12 surgical technologists who had varying degrees of experience in the healthcare field, and were working part time or full time in the operating room of a pediatric medical center in North, Texas. Interviews were audio-recorded and the seven steps were used from Moustakas van Kaam analysis to reveal themes and patterns from the research data. Six themes emerged from the research study that included teamwork, recognition from surgeon, working with pediatric patients and their families, staff appreciation, work environment, and executive leadership. Based on the findings, further research is needed to ascertain strategies that would improve operating room registered nurses and surgical technologists’ job satisfaction and retention.

Abstract:

The nursing workforce has experienced considerable change during the previous decade, resulting in a chronic shortage of nurses. Issues such as economic rationalism, increased workloads, changes in nursing education and the advancing age of the current nursing workforce are the chief contributors to this shortage (Australian Institute of Health & Welfare, 2005b; Buerhaus, Staiger, & Auerbach, 2000b). Operating room (OR) nursing is a primary specialty area that has been especially affected by rising nurse attrition and a reduction in nurse recruitment (Australian College of Operating Room Nurses, 2003; Australian Health Workforce Advisory Committee, 2002). Accordingly, the loss of skilled nurses from the OR specialty compounds the negative effects on morale for those who remain in the environment, as they struggle to provide safe patient care while concomitantly being responsible for the clinical development of neophyte and inexperienced nurses (Australian Health Workforce Advisory Committee, 2002; Arndt, 1998). In the midst of working in the OR environs where the nature of the associated stressors is unique, resilient qualities may assist nurses to meet and overcome these challenges. If there is to be a continued nursing presence in the OR, it is essential that nurses be given the opportunity to develop resilience. At this time when nurse retention rates are continuing to decline steadily, there is a compelling need to identify and describe the relationship between resilience and its predictors in the context of the OR. To date, little is known about predictors of resilience and their potential to ameliorate the effects of workplace stress in the OR. The overall purpose of this study was to identify and describe the predictors of resilience in OR nurses. A literature review and concept analysis of resilience was initially conducted. Hope, self-efficacy, coping and personal characteristics were identified as defining characteristics of resilience. Next, the research was conducted as a mixed method phased study that was underpinned by the pragmatist paradigm, and employed a sequenced combination of qualitative followed by quantitative inquiry (Morgan, 1998). The first phase used a mini-ethnography to identify and describe the components of workplace culture in an OR in relation to their potential impact on nurses ability to adapt in this culture. A triangulated approach was used involving participant observation, a reflective journal, field notes and interviews. This phase revealed that competence, knowledge, collaboration, peer support and the ability to manage challenges were central components of OR workplace culture. From these categories, three themes were abstracted and subsequently developed into constructs that were measured and validated in the larger second phase. The second phase used a predictive correlation survey to describe empirically the relationship between resilience and its hypothesised predictors in a systematic random national sample of nurses who were members of the Australian College of Operating Room Nurses (ACORN), and a combined sample of hospital nurses purposively drawn from two similar hospital sites. The survey included scales measuring perceived competence, collaboration, managing stress, self-efficacy, hope, coping, and resilience, as well as gathering information about the demographic characteristics of nurse respondents. Out of a total potential sample of 1,730 OR nurses, the overall response rate was 51.7% (n = 896). Differences between the ACORN and hospital samples were found in age, years of experience, education and years of employment; therefore, the national and hospital samples findings were analysed separately. Five independent variables hope, self-efficacy, coping, managing stress and competence predicted resilience in the larger sample of ACORN respondents (n = 772). For the substantially smaller sample of hospital respondents (n = 124), hope, self-efficacy and managing stress predicted resilience. Given that the smaller hospital sample resulted in a similar model, this consistency lends strength and weight to the revised resilience model. Over 60% of the variance in resilience was explained by the independent variables in each model. Given the dearth of literature describing the efficacy of resilience in ameliorating stress in OR contexts, the results of this study have extended the theoretical application of the resilience concept to include a nursing context. There is a need to implement resilience-building strategies that address the culture of the OR, both at the departmental and organisational levels. Strategies that provide a supportive workplace environment in relation to goal-orientation, the provision of stress management and education programs, and strategies that facilitate cultural assimilation may improve resilience, and hence retention and recruitment rates in the OR. The findings of this study support the need for further research not only to test the stability of the proposed model among other groups of nurses but also to explore further predictors of resilience in the OR setting.

Abstract:

Unintentional harm due to healthcare is common, especially in the operating theatre. Previous research, aiming to reduce harm to patients in the operating theatre, has not examined the non-technical skills of anaesthetic assistants. The aim of this project was to identify the essential non-technical skills required by anaesthetic assistants for safe and effective practice, and to develop a behavioural marking system to assess these skills. A literature review identified three articles which described anaesthetic assistants' non-technical skills. An interview study with anaesthetic assistants (n=22) and anaesthetists (n=23) described the use of situation awareness, teamwork and task management more commonly than leadership or decision making. This was corroborated by a critical incident database review of the Australian Incident Monitoring System from 2002 to 2008. The material identified in the interview study was considered by focus groups of anaesthetic assistants (n=6,7,3,4) to generate headings. These themes were considered by anaesthetic assistant lecturers (n=6) in a Delphi questionnaire, and positive and negative behavioural markers proposed. The Anaesthetic Non-Technical Skills for Anaesthetic Practitioners (ANTS-AP) behavioural marker system was completed by a research panel. The prototype ANTS-AP system had three categories: 'situation awareness', 'communication and teamwork', and 'task management', each with three elements. The reliability, validity and usability of the ANTS-AP system were evaluated by anaesthetic assistants (n=48) observing videos of simulated theatre work at a 3.5 hour workshop. The system had good internal consistency, and was able to discriminate good, average and poor behaviours. The element 'coping with pressure' was removed due to its poor inter-rater reliability. Future work will assess the inter-rater reliability of the ANTS-AP system, when observers have the opportunity for calibration. This project has provided anaesthetic assistants a means of structuring observation and feedback for training and reflection with the goal of improving patient care.

Abstract:

The current nationwide shortage of registered nurses is a growing problem impacting patient care and hospital operations. The operating room is the area most affected by the nursing shortage. Reasons cited for this shortage include ineffective nursing orientation programs and a decline in job satisfaction. The purpose of this project was to develop a best practice succession planning educational program to provide novice operating room nurses with an introduction to the operating room. The Dreyfus model of skills acquisition and Benner's novice to expert theory guided this project. A 2-step process was used to assess and validate the content and quality of the educational program. In Phase 1, the educational program was distributed to 10 operating room nurse stakeholders for formative review. There was agreement from these reviewers that the educational program covered key concepts important for novice operating room nurses. Two recommendations were made for additional clarification. In Phase II, the educational program was revised and distributed to a group of 10 perioperative professionals for summative review using the AGREE II instrument. The summative review group found the educational program to be clear and concise. The overall summative approval of 100% and recommendations of both review groups guided the final development of the best practice educational module. This best practice educational module will provide a standardized program for educating novice operating room nurses. This project will contribute to positive social change by empowering these nurses while supporting safe care for all surgical patients. Dissemination will occur first within the organization and then to local and national organizations targeting operating room nurses.

Abstract:

Operating room nursing skills are some of the most demanding skills in the nursing profession. At the moment nurses trained in operating room technique are in very short supply in Ethiopia, due to the exodus of nurses to better working environments with more reasonable payment. This is especially noticeable in one of the state hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, as emerged in conversations with the head nurse of the operating room in this hospital about the high turnover rate, as well as the high absenteeism rate amongst the nurses working in the operating room. Nurses working in the operating room also expressed unhappiness in their work environment which could cause them to look for other jobs or to be absent from duty. The nurses were facing numerous problems in their work environment such as work overload due to staff shortage, stress due to shortage of supplies because they are not able to do their job as much as the need requires. The researcher identified the need to explore the challenges that the operating room nurses are experiencing in their work environment. The researcher used the following questions to meet the research objectives: What are the experiences of the operating room nurses in their work environment?; What potential assistance would such nurses need to better cope with the problems they experience in their work environment? The research study aimed to explore and describe the experience of operating room nurses in their work environment and on the basis of the findings to develop guidelines to assist the operating room nurses in coping more effectively with their work environment. The researcher used a qualitative approach with an explorative, descriptive and contextual design. Fifteen registered nurses were selected using purposive sampling. Informed consent was obtained from the participants and permission from the Ethics Committee of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, as well as Yekatit 12 Hospital. Data were gathered using face to face interviews and field notes were taken to determine the experiences of the participants. Data were analyzed using Tesch's method of descriptive data analysis (in Creswell, 2003:13). Two main themes with two sub-themes related to the experience of the registered nurses working in the operating room of the state hospital were identified. Main theme one focused on the non-conducive work environment and it focused on the lack of support from management and the problems experienced in the environment. It was found that OR nurses had good working relationships among the nursing staff. Main theme two focused on the limited training opportunities in OR techniques. The sub-themes described the limited exposure to new technology and the quality of nursing education which the participants felt was not taken seriously in Ethiopia. Based on the identified themes guidelines were formulated to assist the registered nurses working in the operating room of a state hospital in Ethiopia. Utilization of these guidelines should assist the registered nurses to cope more effectively with their work environment. Recommendation were made, further research and limitations identified.

Abstract:

The operating room (OR) is a unique setting and specialty area of nursing practice that requires optimal orientation and education to render safe and efficient patient care. Unfortunately, there will be a significant shortage of nurses in the operating room in the next five to ten years. The need for new nurses in the operating room is essential as many OR nurses in the workforce will retire within the next five years. Currently, most nursing programs no longer offer perioperative courses in their curriculum. Subsequently, this trend has led to the need for hospitals to educate and orient new nurses to their operating rooms. As hospitals educate their own OR nurses, retention following orientation becomes a priority.

The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' experiences as they transition to a new area of nursing practice, the operating room. A qualitative focused ethnography was conducted using Leininger's ethnonursing research method. Fourteen RNs transitioning to the OR agreed to participate in this study. The OR was a first time experience for the RNs. The setting was a large teaching hospital located in an urban area. Observations and interviews were conducted with the RNs to explore their experiences as they transitioned in the OR.

The RNs' transition included learning the didactics of OR nursing through the web-based AORN Nursing 101 online computer course, practicing skills learned in a simulation laboratory, and rotating through surgical specialty areas under the supervision of an RN preceptor. Influences that facilitated the RNs transition to the OR were the

positive learning experience, perception of belonging and acceptance into the OR culture, stimulating environment, supportive personnel, collegiality among peers, and presence of nursing in the OR. Influences that hindered the RNs' transition to the OR were inconsistency in precepting, being in a hostile environment, limited exposure to the OR prior to the RNs' transition, and an overwhelming environment. Meleis' Transition model emerged in the RNs' experiences of transitioning to the OR.

The need to educate nurses in the operating room is essential to assure safety and positive outcomes for the surgical patient. Structured perioperative courses implemented by hospitals or with partnerships with nursing programs can enhance the education, transition, and retention of nurses new to the OR. The importance of a nurse educator having an advanced degree with experience in the OR specialty was essential in coordinating and mentoring nurses transitioning to this new practice area. RNs who are prepared to precept were vital in the education and retention of these RNs. The need for consistent preceptors was recognized as an essential factor to the RNs' successful transition. The findings contribute to evidence-base practice for the design and implementation of perioperative programs for new nurses.

Abstract:

Patient safety is a primary concern of members of the surgical team. Professional nurses working in the operating room play a vital role in the safety of the patients from the moment the patient enters the operating room to the discharge of the patient to the unit. Quality nursing care is of the utmost importance and therefore it is the responsibility of a professional nurse to ensure patient safety during the peri-operative period. Team work and good communication in the operating room are essential in order to ensure patient safety. Nursing care practices related to patient safety should be a key aspect to consider in rendering care to the surgical patient and professional nurses should perform their duties to the best of their ability despite lack of resources and shortage of staff. The main purpose of the study was to explore and describe nursing care practice related to patient safety in the operating room at hospitals in the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan area. Once this was established recommendations on how to enhance nursing care practice related to patient safety in the operating room were made. This study is based on a quantitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual design. Convenient sampling was used in this study. Data were collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Ethical considerations were adhered to and the findings of the research will be disseminated appropriately. Recommendations based on the findings that emerge from the data, as well as the literature review, will be offered to enhance nursing care practice related to patient safety in the operating room.

Abstract:

Occupational exposures of healthcare workers tend to occur because of inconsistent compliance with standard precautions. Also, incidence of occupational exposure is underreported among operating room personnel. The purpose of this project was to develop national estimates for compliance with standard precautions and occupational exposure reporting practices among operating room nurses in Australia. Data was obtained utilizing a 96-item self-report survey. The Standard Precautions and Occupational Exposure Reporting survey was distributed anonymously to 500 members of the Australian College of Operating Room Nurses. The Health Belief Model was the theoretical framework used to guide the analysis of data. Data was analysed to examine relationships between specific constructs of the Health Belief Model to identify factors that might influence the operating room nurse to undertake particular health behaviours to comply with standard precautions and occupational exposure reporting. Results of the study revealed compliance rates of 55.6% with double gloving, 59.1% with announcing sharps transfers, 71.9% with using a hands-free sharps pass technique, 81.9% with no needle recapping and 92.0% with adequate eye protection. Although 31.6% of respondents indicated receiving an occupational exposure in the past 12 months, only 82.6% of them reported their exposures. The results of this study provide national estimates of compliance with standard precautions and occupational exposure reporting among operating room nurses in Australia. These estimates can now be used as support for the development and implementation of measures to improve practices in order to reduce occupational exposures and, ultimately, disease transmission rates among this high-risk group.

Abstract:

AbstractThis chapter describes the planning, implementation, and evaluation of non-technical skills simulations in an operating room (OR) nursing program in Norway. Three scenarios of preoperative preparations in the OR were simulated, each of which was followed by facilitated debriefing sessions. These sessions consisted of three phases: description, analysis, and application. To achieve the highest standard of care and ensure patient safety in the OR, it is necessary for Norwegian OR nurses to be proficient in the responsibilities and functions of both circulating and scrub nurse roles, including teamwork and non-technical skills. With respect to the three domains of educational purpose—qualification, socialization, and subjectification—the simulation activities aimed to enhance knowledge, ability, and understanding of non-technical skills in the OR, thus socializing the students to their new profession while also encouraging their independence. The Norwegian adaptation of the Scrub Practitioners’ List of Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills (SPLINTS-no) behavioral rating tool was used by the students for reflection and learning throughout the teaching activities. The majority of participants agreed or fully agreed that the three phases of debriefing were helpful for their learning. Simulation of non-technical skills in the preoperative OR can therefore be a valuable learning experience for OR nursing students, through the use of both low- and high-fidelity simulations in partnership with nurse anesthetist students.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: Patient safety issues became a global health concern, especially the occurrence of avoidable complications from surgical procedures. In 2008, World Health Organization launched the Safe Surgery Saves Lives program to improve patient safety. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between compliance to surgery safety checklist and incidents among anesthesiology nurses in operation theater at Royal Prima General Hospital, Medan, North Sumatera. Subjects and Method: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted at Royal Prima General Hospital, Medan, North Sumatera, in August 2019. A sample of 25 anesthesiology nurses was selected by the total sampling. The dependent variable was incidents in the operating room. The independent variable was the compliance of anesthesiology nurses on performing surgical safety checklist. The data of nurse compliance were measured by the completeness of filling sign in, time out, and sign out surgical safety checklists. The data were analyzed by chi-square. Results: The incidents in the operating room reduced with compliance in surgical safety checklist filling, but it was not statistically significant (OR= 0.12; 95% CI= 0.01 to 1.95; p= 0.218). Conclusion: The incidents in the operating room reduce with compliance in surgical safety checklist filling, but statistically non-significant. Keywords: surgical safety checklist, incidents, operating room Correspondence: Wienaldi. Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Prima Indonesia, Medan, Indonesia.

Abstract:

Nowadays, the number of technical systems in the operating room increases constantly. This ongoing spread of technology has significant impacts on the individual working process steps of the surgical team. Besides improving the therapeutic quality, these changes may also lead to new human-induced risks for patients, therapists and third parties. In particular, within intra-operative activities, which depend on a safe and fast operation, surgeons and nurses rely on sophisticated and efficient solutions in terms of Human-Machine-Interfaces in order to perform their tasks reliably and assuredly. Therefore, proprietary integrated workstations with a central usage cockpit have been provided for the operating theatre in recent years. At the Chair of Medical Engineering, a surgical integrated workstation with open interfaces for the integration of various medical devices from different manufacturers is currently been developed in the context of the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) funded project OR.NET. For this purpose a suitable central user interface (e.g. multi-function foot switch, touch screen, diagnostic monitor, etc.) will be implemented, in a way that the functions of the various (networked) devices can be offered to the user by a central user interface. The design of the Human-Machine-Interface therefore depends on the available input and output devices, the interaction elements of the graphical user interface, the available medical technical equipment, as well as the medical intervention and the particular process steps and the environmental conditions within the operating room. In this work, a concept for the development of a Medical Device User Interface Profile (UIP) will be presented, using the characterization of process-dependent medical device functions for the modular design of a central user interface in the integrated operating room of the future. The use of standardized UI Profiles should allow the manufacturers to integrate their medical devices, respectively the provided functions in the OR.NET network, without disclosing the risk analysis and related confidential know-how or proprietary information. The UI Profiles will allow both, an automated optimized selection and composition of various user interfaces, and implicitly an optimal design of a central GUI with respect to the criteria of usability and an integrated human risk analysis in terms of Human-Machine Interaction. Specific operation process steps within a neurosurgical workflow will be the framework for the validation process of the UI Profiles. Till now, the UIP concept has been tested within the integration of an ultrasound dissector and an OR microscope.

Abstract:

Robots are increasingly being incorporated into the clinical environment. In minimally invasive surgery, robots are used to hold the tools and camera at the operating table while the surgeon performs surgery at a console away from the rest of the surgical team, reducing the opportunity for face-to-face communication. As surgery is a team-oriented process in which surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists collaborate to achieve the common goal of delivering care to a patient, any barrier to communication can inhibit the team process required in surgery. This study examined surgeon-nurse spatial communication in a collaborative surgical task in a controlled experiment. It was hypothesized that providing a spatial communication aid would improve performance time and reduce the amount of communication needed for the task. Fifteen dyads of surgeons or novices completed a simulated organ manipulation task using a laparoscopic trainer box in two viewing conditions: aligned (0°) and rotated (90°) camera view. Subjects were divided into 3 experimental groups: control, cardinal directional aid, and grid directional aid. Results show that experts were faster than novices, and the directional aids significantly facilitated task performance. While the volume of communication was not different across the three groups, there was a shift toward a more collaborative style of communication in the cardinal directions and grid conditions. The findings suggest that spatial communication aids can improve performance and promote collaboration in the robotic operating room.

Abstract:

The existing nuclear power plants (NPPs) in the United States (U.S.) are important for creating safe and reliable carbon free electricity for now and in the future. Many NPPs are currently in the process of extending their operating licenses for continued generation. Extending the lifespan of these plants provide an opportunity to modernize their operating model by introducing new technologies that reduce operations and maintenance costs. Many businesses have introduced new technologies to help with reducing costs; however, introduction of new technology has created situations where processes were less efficient. Hence, human factors evaluations are needed to help ensure that new technologies can integrate safely and reliably with current operations. Standards and guidelines for applying human factors in NPP modernization are available from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, (NRC) , the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO), among others. One such method used in human factors to support modernization is the use of three-dimensional (3D) modeling that enables visualization and anthropometric evaluation. That is, anthropometric data including reach, sight, and distance are important human factors considerations to ensure that all interactions can be completed safely and effectively by personnel interacting with work processes and operations.This report discusses the importance of applying 3D modeling techniques within the context of human factors evaluation for large scale digital NPP modifications. 3D modeling is one area where human factors engineering can be applied when modifying or adding new technology into control room operations. Models of the control room can be created in 3D modeling tools to present visualizations of modifications or new technologies being introduced into the control room. Available software tools such as Trimble Sketchup and Control Room Engineering Advanced Toolkit Environment (CREATE) (developed by the Institute for Energy Technology) can be used to evaluate anthropometric considerations like sight lines, readability, distance of controls, and other related information to represent changes prior to implementing new modifications or technologies in a control room. These tools enable early human factors input that can drive effective decisions making later in the development process. The CREATE tool has been designed to include guidance and information from the NRC (i.e., NUREG-0700) directly into its operating system allowing for human factors guidance to be automatically applied when creating 3D visualization of a control room. 3D modeling can also be used as a visualization tool to describe and report changes to key stakeholders very early on, prior to implementing changes in a control room. This report will summarize recent work performed in collaboration with a partnering utility that generates lessons learned when using 3D modeling for control room modernization.

Abstract:

Image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) is a promising method for precise targeting and treatment of cervical and prostate cancer where one can adapt the radiation delivery according to tumor spread and organs at risk (OAR). The currently developing procedural modality incorporating optical tracking and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) for superior soft tissue contrast, later combined with CT data, will likely develop into a readily affordable option, as the use of MRI will become unnecessary [1]. This is especially relevant for developing countries (mainly in SE Africa and S America) where the MRI scanners are scarce and the occurrence specifically of cervical cancer is the highest worldwide [2]. In brachytherapy, the procedure requires either the use of an active source (cervix) or implantation of radioactive seeds (prostate) in an accurate way as to enable sufficient safety margin with respect to the OAR. The sources irradiate the tissue of interest through gynecological (GYN) applicators (inserted internally) as well as hollow needles guided by either these applicators or prostate templates (positioned externally). Due to the localized use of several devices, an uninterrupted verification of source or needle placement can only be provided if the TRUS probe scans the volume of interest without much movement, likely leading to physical interference. Hence, the longitudinal ultrasound (US) array is used to obtain a 3D-US volume using a rotational sweep. The use of a TRUS probe for an automatic US image reconstruction requires the probe to be housed in a motorized unit, a so-called stepper or a probe holder, which should ideally be integrated seamlessly into the overall procedure without impeding the established workflow or imposing any unnecessary space and time restrictions within the operating room (OR). Seamless integration should also mean minimal assembly steps required by the OR staff, whether nurses or surgeons themselves, as well as the possibility to use the TRUS probe in a natural unrestricted way. More specifically, when housed in the stepper, the probe’s geometry and weight should not be exaggerated as to allow enough haptic feedback for the surgeon when guiding the probe through the bodily cavities or probing for any unnatural or pathological tissue. Examples of conventional brachytherapy steppers include Mikrostepper MST 200 (GfM, Riedstadt-Leeheim, Germany), Transperineal Stepper (D&K Technologies, Barum, Germany), AccuCARE™ Classic Stepper (Civco, Coralville, IA, USA), STP 110 Precision™ Stepper (Best NOMOS, Pittsburgh, PA, USA), or OncoSelect Stepper equipped with EndoCavity Rotational Mover (Elekta, Veenendaal, NL). Each of these devices provides precise rotational and translational fine-tuning, motorized image acquisition as well as high positioning rigidity. Yet, in most cases, this is at the expense of their oversized dimensions, large mass often requiring a counterweight, limited range of motion or cumbersome handling. As a result, their overall usability is compromised, especially in applications requiring better haptic experience, such as an initial free-hand scan during GYN brachytherapy. Hence, the aim of this paper is to present a novel, compact and versatile solution compensating for the aforementioned limitations and enabling seamless integration.
