Abstract:

Background & Objective:The need for surgery is currently not met in Sub-Saharan Africa, requiring both extra workforce and surgical equipment. Currently, there is a gap in the availability of surgical equipment which, among others, limits the provision of safe surgery. To design strategies to increase availability, the use of surgical equipment in this context needs to be understood. This study aims to: 1) identify the different phases surgical equipment goes through during its lifespan (i.e. the surgical equipment journey) in Kenya, and to 2) identify barriers that are perceived by biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs). Material & Methods:Seven semi-structured in-depth interview sessions were conducted with a total of 17 BMETs working in Kenya. Participants worked in six different hospitals (four public, one private and one mission). Interviews were conducted between December 2016 and December 2018. Participants were asked to describe or draw the surgical equipment journey and describe the perceived barriers during this journey. Results:The surgical equipment journey consists of three phases: procurement, usage, and disposal. Stakeholders involved in the surgical equipment journey are users, BMETs, procurement officers, local distributors and in case of donations, donation agencies. Bureaucracy during procurement, difficulties to obtain consumables and spare parts (especially for donated equipment), cleaning with heavy chemicals, and usage in challenging environments were identified as barriers during the surgical equipment journey. Conclusion:Sustainable interventions at multiple organisational levels are required to optimize the surgical equipment journey in hospitals in Kenya. Different strategies that can be applied in parallel to increase availability of surgical equipment in Kenya were identified by the participants in this study: policies on donations, procurement of durable equipment, more well-trained BMETs and university-trained biomedical engineers, and designs and business models that fit the local use in Kenya and presumably other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract:

This article seeks to examine the issue of lost equipment and materials left in patients and the assumptions that registered theatre practitioners make. The assumptions are highlighted using a tragic case study that relates to a young lady who died and what the subsequent post mortem revealed: five pieces of gauze in her abdominal cavity which were proved to be five surgical swabs. The problem of retained swabs and other surgical equipment is far greater than many would believe. It is said ‘to err is human’, but maybe to err is negligent.

Abstract:

Task completion and time management for surgical junior doctors during their surgical foundation trainings and placements were investigated amidst techniques for improvement and efficient service delivery in the big health facility setting in East and North Herts NHS Trusts by us, a group of medical scientists. The factors reducing and impeding efficient service delivery were presented which included lack of organisational equipment and availability leading to delayed job completion and patient output. Introduction: Patient safety and the quality of patient-centred care provided are of utmost importance. Quality improvement projects in surgery are vital as we can highlight and rectify issues that may arise through them. We determined that a critical problem lies in the inefficiency of job performance among surgical junior doctors due to a lack of equipment organisation and availability. This inefficiency results in a delay in job completion and potentially poor patient outcomes. Surgical junior doctors are becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of availability and organisation of equipment required to perform urgent and non-urgent patient care during their shifts. Through our detailed research, we aimed to improve the efficiency of surgical junior doctors’ task completion by reducing the time required for completion of tasks through the production of surgical equipment packs to improve equipment availability and accessibility to facilitate efficient urgent and non- urgent patient care. Methodology: We collected data via analysis and evaluation of responses from initial and post- implementation surveys sent to surgical junior doctors working across a range of specialities and different NHS trusts around the country. Results: The initial survey demonstrated that most of the time taken for task completion was spent on sourcing/gathering equipment. The post-introduction of surgical equipment packs survey indicated that over 80% of the responders found them helpful in carrying out practical jobs. More than 60% of responders reported that 0-10 minutes are needed to complete practical employment with the help of surgical equipment packs. Comparatively, only 30% could complete practical tasks within 20 minutes before implementation. Conclusion: Results showed that surgical have improved equipment accessibility and, overall, improved task completion efficiency. 80% of responders would continue using surgical equipment packs to improve efficiency in ward-based practical jobs.

Abstract:

Researchers are seeking to help doctors, especially surgeons, in remote areas overcome the problem of ‎diseases transmission by using non-sterile surgical equipment. This study presented a design and ‎model of a low-cost solar sterilizer to sterilize surgical equipment with hot dry air. Sterilization with dry hot air requires a temperature‎‎160℃ for 60 minutes. The design includes a stainless steel box with dimensions of 60 cm×30 cm×12 cm in which the surgical equipment is placed. This box is placed inside a chamber with insulated ‎walls, except for the front and top. The front and top are a layer of tempered thermal glass. This chamber ‎rests on an iron base that rotates around an axis in its center to follow the sun from east to west. ‎Placed reflective sheets arranged in a cone shape around the surgical equipment box to increase the ‎thermal enablement of the box. The system was tested in several variants. With and without surgical equipment and with and without reflective plates. The system achieved 160℃ hot air in 121 minutes. ‎This period increased by 23.9% when surgical equipment weighing 1.2 kg was placed. The ‎presence of reflective plates reduced the time required to achieve the required heat by 9%.

Abstract:

Background.Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS), a complication of cataract surgery, is a sterile inflammation of the anterior chamber of the eye. An outbreak of TASS was recognized at an outpatient surgical center and its affiliated hospital in December 2002.Methods.Medical records of patients who underwent cataract surgery during the outbreak were reviewed, and surgical team members who participated in the operations were interviewed. Potential causes of TASS were identified and eliminated. Feedwater from autoclave steam generators and steam condensates were analyzed by use of spectroscopy and ion chromatography.Results.During the outbreak, 8 (38%) of 21 cataract operations were complicated by TASS, compared with 2 (0.07%) of 2,713 operations performed from January 1996 through November 2002. Results of an initial investigation suggested that cataract surgical equipment may have been contaminated by suboptimal equipment reprocessing or as a result of personnel changes. The frequency of TASS decreased (1 of 44 cataract operations) after reassignment of personnel and revision of equipment reprocessing procedures. Further investigation identified the presence of impurities (eg, sulfates, copper, zinc, nickel, and silica) in autoclave steam moisture, which was attributed to improper maintenance of the autoclave steam generator in the outpatient surgical center. When impurities in autoclave steam moisture were eliminated, no cases of TASS were observed after more than 1,000 cataract operations.Conclusion.Suboptimal reprocessing of cataract surgical equipment may evolve over time in busy, multidisciplinary surgical centers. Clinically significant contamination of surgical equipment may result from inappropriate maintenance of steam sterilization systems. Standardization of protocols for reprocessing of cataract surgical equipment may prevent outbreaks of TASS and may be of assistance during outbreak investigations.

Abstract:

AbstractBackgroundMedical equipment can transmit pathogenic bacteria to patients. This single-institution point prevalence study aimed to characterise the types and relative amount of bacteria found on surgical loupes, headlights and their battery packs.MethodSurgical loupes, headlights and battery packs of 16 otolaryngology staff and residents were sampled, cultured and quantified. Plate scores were summed for each equipment type, and the total was divided by the number of users to generate mean bacterial burden scores. Residents completed a questionnaire regarding their equipment cleaning practices.ResultsThe contamination rates of loupes, headlights and battery packs were 68.75 per cent, 100 per cent and 75 per cent, respectively. Battery packs cultured more bacteria (1.58 per swab ± 1.00) than loupes (0.75 per swab ± 0.66; p = 0.024). Headlights had non-significantly greater growth (1.50 per swab ± 0.71) than loupes (p = 0.052). Bacterial growth was significantly higher from inner surfaces of loupes (p = 0.035) and headlights (p = 0.037). Potentially pathogenic bacteria were cultured from the equipment of five participants, including: Pantoea agglomerans, Acinetobacter radioresistens, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus baumannii complex and Moraxella osloensis.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that surgical loupes and headlights used in otolaryngology harbour non-pathogenic skin flora and potentially pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract:

To improve the efficiency of medical staff in surgical operations and meet the physiological and psychological needs of surgeons, nurses, and patients during the operations, surgical auxiliary equipment is designed. This paper builds a design research model based on AHP (analytic hierarchy process), QFD (quality function deployment), and Platts conceptual decision matrix (PUGH decision matrix). Firstly, the user requirements are weighed through AHP analysis, and the design elements are prioritized based on the weight values. Then, QFD is used to analyze the design features of surgical auxiliary equipment from the aspects of structure, function, and shape, and a house of quality is established to get the significance of design features. Finally, the PUGH decision matrix is constructed to screen and evaluate multiple schemes, and the optimal design scheme is obtained. From the perspective of user requirements and product design characteristics, the significance of design elements is analyzed and calculated, which guides the design practices to complete the innovative design of surgical auxiliary equipment. The combination of AHP, QFD, and PUGH decision matrices are introduced into the innovative design of surgical auxiliary equipment, effectively avoiding subjective factors in product design, improving the scientific nature of the design, and providing new methods and ideas for the design and research of surgical auxiliary equipment and similar products.

Abstract:

In the current financial climate the NHS faces budget cuts. A good knowledge of the costs of the equipment used in theatres will allow more cost-efficient allocation of resources. The equipment used is dependent on the consultant surgeon leading the operation, with individual surgeons having their own preferences. For the efficient running of a department one would assume that the surgeons would have a working knowledge of the cost of equipment. This study looked at the awareness of surgeons of the cost of disposable equipment. It aimed to highlight the difference between the estimated and actual cost of disposable items, providing feedback to the surgeons so they become more aware of the real cost of their choices in order to help optimise use of equipment. This will hopefully lead to more cost-effective theatres.

Abstract:

Background: Remote hilly areas of Karnali Province has one in all the very best burdens of surgically treatable conditions within the world and therefore, the highest unmet need. The first objective of our study was to gauge the capacity of first-referral health facilities in remote districts of Karnali Province to perform basic surgical procedures. The aim is to assess the status of Essential Emergency Surgical Care in remote hilly districts of Karnali region of Nepal. Method: The screening Tool was Situational Analysis to Assess Emergency and Essential Surgical Care, to spot the health facility’s capacity to perform basic surgical (including obstetrics and trauma) and anesthetic procedures by investigating four categories of data: human resources, infrastructure, equipment and interventions available. The tool interrogated the supply of eight sorts of care providers, 35 surgical interventions and 67 items of apparatus. Results: on the average, 72.83% of all admissions required either minor or major surgical interventions. Oxygen supplies, electrical power backup, running water, blood bank, hospital guidelines were inconsistent. Only 1 Hospital have trained Surgeons, Anesthesiologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist. Only 1 hospital can perform around 97.1% of procedures. Conclusion: The capacity for essential surgery is severely limited in Karnali region of Nepal. Limitations was seen in basic equipment, human resources, infrastructure, and supplies.

Abstract:

In this study, 897 surgical instruments used for comprehensive management of hand supply from January to December 2019 were selected as the control group. Similarly, 1086 surgical instruments administered with 6Sigma from January to December 2020 were selected as the observation group. By observing and comparing the differences between the two groups of patients in the operating room equipment cleaning pass rate and general indicators, other related pass rate, operating room equipment defects, and doctors’ satisfaction with equipment, to explore the application value and influence of comprehensive nursing in operating room and disinfection supply center combined with 6Sigma management in operating room equipment management. The results show that the application of hand-supply integration combined with 6Sigma management has a good effect on operating room equipment management, which significantly improves the qualified rate of operating room equipment cleaning and the satisfaction of doctors to the equipment, and reduces the defects of operating room equipment, which has a certain reference value for operating room equipment management.

Abstract:

This is a descriptive study based on the theory of human error, in order to analyze and classify nursing errors during the nursing care of surgical patients at recovery. Twenty-five (25) fault reports were collected through a semi-structured interview. Those reports were submitted to 15 nurse experts to evaluate the risk of seriousness; human, equipment and organizational factors involved; members interaction; information and reversibility of the accident. Faults were directly attributed to psychosocial and organizational aspects, equipment and seriousness. A multidimensional scaling test (MDS) was applied and a graph was obtained. It showed four groups of faults, due to problems related to sensory-motor, procedure, abstraction and supervision control. In conclusion, the faults were caused by non-defined personnel roles, continuing education deficiency, non-systematic observation, inadequate space and equipment.

Abstract:

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the executive agency of the Department of Health charged with protecting and promoting public health and patient safety by ensuring that medicines and medical equipment meet appropriate standards of safety, quality, performance and effectiveness – and that they are used safely. One way it aims to achieve this is by investigating reports of adverse incidents involving medical devices and instigating corrective actions to reduce the risk of recurrence. The MHRA is keen to increase awareness of its role in this area and, furthermore, the vital role that all surgeons, medics and health care professionals have in making medical devices safer.

Abstract:

Operating theatre is a place in a hospital where surgical operations are conducted on patients by surgeons. In the operating theatre, the surgical equipment is placed on stainless steel table or on surgical instrument tray. However, during the operation accidents can occur where the surgical tools placed near to the surgeon could be accidentally be hit by them during the surgical operation. This may cause the surgical tools to fall on the floor which may lead to injuries. Hence, this paper presents an automatic medical surgical trolley for surgeons to grab operating tools easily. The proposed system is implemented for automaticmedical surgical trolley movement using Arduino Uno R3. The invention provides an automatic medical surgical trolley which comprises automatic guidance, a wireless controller, an obstacle avoiding detection device, a touch screen controller via smart phone, an IP camera, a trolley, an integrated power supply and a processor. The trolley with stainless steel shelves is ideal for use in clinical environments and operation theatres. Medical equipment is loaded in the trolley, the wireless remote drives the trolley to move forwards and backwards. Automatic visual guidance is achieved via an IP camera attached to the trolley and a touch screen controller via a smart phone. A large amount of space and a large number of materials are saved, the workload of medical workers will be greatly relieved, and the working efficiency will be improved.
