The interconnection of medical devices in an operating room (OR) represents a major step in optimizing clinical processes and increasing the quality of treatment. The IEEE 11073 Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) standard family constitutes the foundation for manufacturerindependent information exchange and remote control of medical devices...

The operating room demands well-functioning workflows and optimized communication. Based on the formalization of specific surgical interventions via BPMN, intraoperative checklists can automatically be generated to support the surgical team by the provision of relevant clinical information and situation-dependent assistive functions. While focusing...

Natural language processing (NLP) offers the potential to automate quality assurance of software requirement specifications. Especially large-scale projects involving numerous suppliers can benefit from this improvement. However, due to privacy restrictions and domain-and project-specific vocabulary, as such in the aerospace domain, the availabilit...

Large critical systems, such as those created in the space domain, are usually developed by a large number of organizations and, furthermore, they have to comply with standards. Yet, the different stakeholders often do not have a common understanding of the needed quality of requirements specifications. Achieving such a common understanding is a la...

Purpose Context awareness in the operating room (OR) is important to realize targeted assistance to support actors during surgery. A situation recognition system (SRS) is used to interpret intraoperative events and derive an intraoperative situation from these. To achieve a modular system architecture, it is desirable to de-couple the SRS from othe...

Uncontrolled movement of instruments in laparoscopic surgery can lead to inadvertent tissue damage, particularly when the dissecting or electrosurgical instrument is located outside the field of view of the laparoscopic camera. The incidence and relevance of such events are currently unknown. The present work aims to identify and quantify potential...

Uncontrolled movements of laparoscopic instruments can lead to inadvertent injury of adjacent structures. The risk becomes evident when the dissecting instrument is located outside the field of view of the laparoscopic camera. Technical solutions to ensure patient safety are appreciated. The present work evaluated the feasibility of an automated bi...

Aims: Uncontrolled movements of the dissecting and electrosurgical instruments in laparoscopic surgery can lead to inadvertent tissue damage. The risk is particularly high, when the dissecting instrument is located outside the field of view of the laparoscopic camera. The incidence of such events is currently unknown. The present work aims to quan...

Einleitung: Während der Laparoskopie werden Detailaufnahmen im Situs dargestellt, die Umgebung des Sichtfeldes des Operateurs wird dagegen nicht visualisiert. Ungeeignete Kameraeinstellungen sowie unkontrollierte Bewegungen der Instrumente können dabei Risiken für den Patienten bedeuten. Ziele: In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll ein System entwickel...

In der Laparoskopie befinden sich der Operationssitus sowie die verwendeten Instrumente nicht im direkten Sichtfeld des Operationsteams. Unkontrollierte Bewegungen des Laparoskops oder der Instrumente können Verletzungen von umliegenden Gewebestrukturen verursachen. Es soll daher eine Anwendung konzipiert werden, welche diese risikobehafteten Situa...
