Computational Methods to Analyse Intra-operative Adverse Events in Surgery at Scale
The operating room is the most frequent location for hospital-related errors. However, intra-operative adverse events (IAEs) are underreported, which impedes their large-scale analysis, the definition of appropriate safety measures and the development of intra-operative support systems to reduce their occurrence. Recent manual video-based assessments of surgical procedures have shown that not only are IAEs frequent, but also that near miss intra-operative events, previously thought to be inconsequential, are in fact predictors of major errors and correlate with complications and poor surgical outcomes. We leverage these recent findings to propose a radically new, computational approach to…
