Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surgical equipment control technology, and in particular to a surgical equipment control system and control method for operating rooms. Background Technology

[0002] The development of operating room equipment is now very mature, and digital operating rooms have become a direction for the development of operating rooms. However, the current digitalization of operating rooms is limited to the monitoring of existing operating rooms, the collection of patient information, and the management of operating room usage time, and cannot significantly improve surgical efficiency.

[0003] Currently, during surgical procedures, doctors concentrate on performing the surgery near the operating table, while the main unit of the relevant surgical equipment is far away from the operating table. Doctors cannot leave the vicinity of the operating table during the operation and can only use voice commands to instruct nurses to adjust the equipment mode and level, which increases personnel costs. Waiting for nurses to respond also reduces surgical efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues in improving surgical efficiency, there is an urgent need to develop an intraoperative surgical equipment control method based on a complete suite of operating room products. This method can significantly optimize equipment operation during surgery and shorten adjustment time, thereby improving surgical efficiency and reducing surgical costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides an operating room equipment control system and control method, which optimizes equipment operation during surgery and shortens adjustment time, thereby improving surgical efficiency, reducing surgical costs, and reducing the risk of misoperation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: an operating room equipment control system, comprising: a voice collection module for collecting medical operation instructions from operators; a central processing unit for processing the medical operation instructions collected by the voice collection module and outputting control signals; at least one target medical device, communicatively connected to the central processing unit, for adjusting corresponding medical operating parameters according to the control signals; and a device execution end, electrically connected to the target medical device, for performing corresponding medical operations according to the operating parameters of the target medical device.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the central processing unit is mounted on the ceiling of the operating room.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the voice collection module includes an array microphone disposed on the handle of the endoscope display screen or the handle of the shadowless lamp.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the medical operation instructions received by the array microphone include a wake-up word and an instruction trigger word, wherein the instruction trigger word corresponds one-to-one with the function of the target device.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the types of medical operation instructions include one or more of the following: mode switching, gear adjustment, and function start / stop for each target device.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the target device is a surgical energy platform electrosurgical unit.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the target device is an insufflator.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a confirmation mechanism is further included, which is one or more combinations of a pedal-type confirmation module, a voice confirmation module, a touch confirmation button, an infrared sensing confirmation module, a gesture recognition confirmation module, or a wireless remote control confirmation module.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wake-up word is a custom wake-up recognition name.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an operating room equipment control method, applied to the operating room equipment control system, includes the following steps: Step 1: Voice collection step, collecting medical operation instructions issued by the operator through the array microphone of the voice collection module; Step 2: Instruction processing step, the central processing unit receives the medical operation instructions transmitted by the voice collection module, first verifies the wake word, and after the verification is passed, it parses and processes the instruction trigger word to generate the corresponding control signal; Step 3: Parameter adjustment step. The central processing unit transmits control signals to the target device, and the target device adjusts the corresponding medical operating parameters according to the control signals. Step 4: Operation execution steps. After receiving the confirmation signal, the device execution end performs the corresponding medical operation according to the adjusted medical working parameters of the target device. And / or, Before the operation is executed, the medical working parameters are confirmed by a confirmation mechanism, and a confirmation signal is generated after the confirmation is passed. The device execution end then performs the corresponding medical operation based on the confirmation signal.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: This invention discloses an operating room equipment control system and its control method, which optimizes equipment operation during surgery, shortens adjustment time, improves surgical efficiency, reduces surgical costs, and reduces the risk of misoperation.

[0017] 1. The voice collection module collects the medical operation instructions of the operator, and the doctor can input voice while in the normal surgical position, reducing the impact on the normal surgical process.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention, rather than limitations thereof. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] The term "and / or" simply describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. Additionally, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship. Example 1

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, an operating room equipment control system includes: a voice collection module, a central processing unit, at least one target device, and a device execution terminal; the voice collection module is electrically connected to the central processing unit, the central processing unit is communicatively connected to the target device, and the target device is electrically connected to the device execution terminal.

[0025] The voice collection module includes an array microphone mounted on the handle of the endoscope display or the operating light; the array microphone receives medical operation commands; however, it is not limited to this, and array microphones can be mounted on the handles of the endoscope display and the operating light respectively. The voice collection module is used to collect medical operation commands from the operator.

[0026] The central processing unit (CPU) is mounted on the operating room ceiling. It processes medical operation commands collected by the voice acquisition module and outputs control signals. Furthermore, the medical operation commands include a wake-up word and a command trigger word, with each trigger word corresponding one-to-one with a function of the target device. The types of medical operation commands include one or more functions such as mode switching, gear adjustment, and function activation / deactivation for each target device. Even further, the wake-up word uses a custom wake-up recognition name.

[0027] The target device adjusts the corresponding medical operation parameters according to the control signals output by the central processing unit.

[0028] The device execution end performs corresponding medical operations based on the medical operation parameters of the target device. Example 2

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, an operating room equipment control system further includes: a confirmation mechanism; a voice collection module electrically connected to a central processing unit, a central processing unit communicatively connected to a target device, a target device electrically connected to a device execution end, and a device execution end electrically connected to the confirmation mechanism.

[0030] The confirmation mechanism is used to perform secondary confirmation of the medical operation parameters to be executed by the medical device's execution end. Further, the confirmation mechanism can be one or more combinations of a pedal-type confirmation module, a voice confirmation module, a touch-type confirmation button, an infrared sensing confirmation module, a gesture recognition confirmation module, or a wireless remote control confirmation module. In this embodiment, a pedal-type confirmation module is used, where the operator confirms the instruction operation by stepping on the pedal. However, this is not a limitation; the actual selection of the confirmation mechanism can be based on actual usage requirements, using existing confirmation mechanisms, as long as they can basically achieve the functions and effects to be achieved by this invention. These will not be listed individually here. This embodiment uses a confirmation mechanism to confirm the execution of medical operations, reducing direct contact between the operator's hands and the device's main unit, and avoiding disruption of the sterile environment of the operating room. Example 3

[0031] Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the voice collection module is interconnected with the central control module via encrypted Wi-Fi, using the AES-256 protocol. The medical devices are interconnected with the central control module via Bluetooth Low Energy, with communication priorities set according to device importance. Example 4

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, based on any one of Embodiments 1 to 3, an operating room equipment control method is applied to an operating room equipment control system, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Voice Collection Step. The voice collection module uses its array microphones to collect medical operation commands issued by the operator. These commands include a wake-up word and a trigger word corresponding to a specific function of the target device. The commands may include one or more of the following: mode switching, gear adjustment, and function activation / deactivation.

[0033] Step 2: Instruction processing step, the central processing unit receives the medical operation instructions transmitted by the voice collection module, first verifies the wake word, and after the verification is successful, it parses and processes the instruction trigger word to generate the corresponding control signal.

[0034] Step 3: Parameter adjustment step. The central processing unit transmits control signals to the target device, and the target device adjusts the corresponding medical operating parameters according to the control signals.

[0035] Step 4: Operation execution steps. After receiving the confirmation signal, the device execution end performs the corresponding medical operation according to the adjusted medical working parameters of the target device. Example 5

[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 4, before the operation execution step in step 4, the medical working parameters are reconfirmed by a confirmation mechanism, and a confirmation signal is generated after the confirmation is passed. The device execution end then performs the corresponding medical operation according to the confirmation signal. Example 6

[0037] Based on any one of the embodiments from Embodiment 1 to Embodiment 5, during the preparation of the operating table, the medical operation instructions issued by the operator are collected through the array microphone of the voice collection module; the medical operation instructions include a wake-up word and an instruction trigger word that corresponds one-to-one with the function of the target device.

[0038] Following the surgical procedure, the patient is placed on the operating table according to medical operation instructions, and the position of the operating table is adjusted to ensure that the patient reaches the planned surgical position. The surgical position is standard, avoiding direct contact between medical staff and equipment, and helping to reduce the consumption of operation time.

[0039] When the shadowless lamp needs to be positioned according to the patient's body position, it is adjusted according to the surgical area being irradiated using medical operation instructions. The adjustments include the size of the light spot, brightness, and color temperature.

[0040] When the endoscope needs to be adjusted according to the surgical mode, parameters such as light source brightness and imaging mode are adjusted through medical operation commands. Then, the endoscope holder waits for the doctor to create a puncture hole for the patient before inserting the endoscope into the body to adjust the focus and posture so that the endoscope screen displays the desired image. During the operation, the imaging mode can also be switched through medical operation commands, further reducing the time spent waiting and adjusting the process.

[0041] When using devices such as ultrasonic scalpels or high-frequency electrosurgical units in surgery, different power levels need to be adjusted to meet the needs of the surgery. The energy mode can be adjusted through medical operation commands to assist in cutting, coagulation, or closure of blood vessels, further reducing the time spent waiting and adjusting the process.

[0042] The monitor is powered on and configured before surgery using medical operation commands.

[0043] Before surgery, the anesthesiologist needs to set up the machine using medical operation commands. After the patient is in position, the anesthesiologist will perform endotracheal intubation, set the anesthesia dosage using medical operation commands, observe the patient's depth of anesthesia and status, and make fine adjustments to the anesthesia machine's parameters based on the monitor's parameter display using medical operation commands.
