Audio Visual <\/strong>Operating Room<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The ideal solution for providing training, simulation or transmission of medical work (interventions, therapeutic sessions, etc.) to hospitals, doctors, nursing staff, health professionals and the medical education and healthcare sector in general. The Audio Visual Operating Room installation implemented at the Athens Naval Hospital, enables audiovisual interconnection and communication between hospital rooms on different floors. Specifically, image and sound are transferred from an operating room to a conference room.<\/p>\n

Only audio is transferred from the conference room to the operating room. Additionally, there is the possibility of using the entire image and audio of the session as input for teleconference software, such as Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, etc.<\/p>\n

Real Time Interface<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The exchange of information between the two rooms in real time is also important, something that would be impossible to happen due to the seriousness of the medical procedures, but also the limited space, which does not allow a large number of people to be present.<\/p>\n

Audiovisual storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is also possible to save the image and audio of the session on an external memory card for future use. The purpose of the installation is to make it possible to monitor the medical procedure, for educational or other reasons, by any interested party (student, resident, visiting physician) as well as to study the recording later, to improve the final result.<\/p>\n

Operating room equipment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A PTZ camera was installed on the ceiling in the operating room, which captures an overall view of the medical procedures, as well as a headset for doctors to communicate with the conference room.<\/p>\n

From the anteroom of the operating room, it is possible to operate the camera that records the medical procedures, and the following signals are transferred: image (NDI), audio (dante) and the output of a computer containing medical-imaging software. All signals are transferred via a fiber optic network, to the conference room area.<\/p>\n

The operator of the equipment in the anteroom has the ability, through an image controller (multiviewer), which is connected to a monitor, to select the image output and therefore what will be sent to the conference room. That is, whether the operation being performed will be shown on the entire screen, whether only the imaging program will be shown, or whether the two screens will be juxtaposed simultaneously.<\/p>\n
