  • fuzzy expert system design for operating room air condition control systems
    Expert Systems With Applications, 2009
    Co-Authors: Nazmi Etik, Novruz Allahverdi, Ibrahim Unal Sert, Ismail Saritas
    Abstract:

    In this study, a controlled fuzzy expert system (FES) was designed to provide the conditions necessary for operating rooms. For this purpose, existing operating rooms have been studied to see if there are more useful, reliable and comfortable ones. How an operating room can be controlled with FES and its advantages and disadvantages have also been researched. For a theoretically visible FES to show system's advantage a prototype operating room was built and a suitable configuration was designed. In this system, heat, humidity, oxygen and particles were used as input parameters, and a fresh air entrance and fan circulation were chosen as output parameters. With the help of an expert, appropriate linguistic expressions and the membership function of these expressions were defined. The sensors were classified and sensor information was transferred to computer by means of an interface designed. In order to transfer the data to the system simultaneously, an interface was written in C#. Whether it provides the most suitable control for the system prototype was determined by simulating the Operation with varying numbers of patients and Operation Personnel. In these trials, input, output and other necessary parameters were collected in the computer.In the study, we obtained excellent results in prototype operating room control with FES. The analyses of the results carried out indicated that the controls performed with FES provide more economical, comfortable, reliable and consistent controls and that they are feasible in a real operating room.

  • accidental exposures to blood and body fluid in the Operation room and the issue of underreporting
    American Journal of Infection Control, 2009
    Co-Authors: Miki Nagao, Yoshitsugu Iinuma, Junko Igawa, Yasufumi Matsumura, Michinori Shirano, Aki Matsushima, Takashi Saito, Shunji Takakura, Satoshi Ichiyama
    Abstract:

    A retrospective review of all exposure injuries affecting members of the operative care line at a single university hospital between January 2000 and December 2007 was performed. A questionnaire survey on current status of adherence to barrier precautions was also completed by 164 staff members. Of 136 exposure injuries, 87 (64.0%) were in surgeons, and 49 (36.0%) were in scrub nurses. Surgeons were most commonly injured during suturing (49, 56%), followed by "handing over sharps" (7, 8%), whereas scrub nurses were most commonly injured during "counting and sorting of sharps" (15, 41%), followed by "handing over sharps," and "splash." The questionnaire survey revealed that compliance with goggles, face shields, and double gloving was poor, and only 9% of respondents routinely used the hands-free technique. Only 22% of staff who had experienced exposure injuries reported every incident. Because circumstances of exposure injuries in operating rooms differ by profession, appropriate preventive measures should address individual situations. To reduce exposure injuries in the operating room, further efforts are required including education, mentoring, and competency training for Operation Personnel.
