 Artis Zeego called the robot in the operating room An industrial robot is with the re-mastered and X-ray and operating in Sweden's most advanced operating room, the newly inaugurated "Hybrid Hall" at the Karolinska hospital in Solna. The so-called hybrid hall at Karolinska Hospital is currently the flagship of the country's operating rooms.
- Clearly the most advanced operating rooms in the country, "said Johan
Malsjo, Sales and Marketing Manager at Siemens Healthcare, the company
that supplied equipment and participated in the construction of the
Hybrid Hall.
The new room, 93 square meters, is called "hybrid" because it was specially built to cope with several types of treatments - both open surgery and "closed", or catheter-mounted, the treatment of acute bleeding and so-called vascular catastrophes. One need not, for example moving patients to other halls. The technical equipment shall be so versatile that doctors, nurses, radiology experts can quickly switch between different devices and manage multiple treatments in one place. For example, the doctor and nurse will perform an interference with the catheter, plus a thin wire entering the vessel, and simultaneously follow the progress on a monitor that is easily visible. An industrial robot from Kuka, rebuilt by Siemens, which is to assist and when radiographs whole procedure. The robot - which in its huge C-shaped "jaws" wearing X-ray tubes and detectors - are governed by a "joy-stick", can be swirled around above the patient, is angled so as to adapt it to spin on an operation and X-ray table - which is the carbon fiber to not interfere with X-rays. This type of surgery and surgery in a special room, X-ray was performed in another room. Was not sure the doctor had to dress the patient, drive him out into a corridor, to another room, maybe do an investigation, X-ray and possibly run back and continues reading in the hall where the operation started. It took time, required resources. And above all it meant a danger to the patient. - The new, flexible method Karolinska place is something of a trend and is about to be introduced in other places, internationally as well as in Swedish hospitals, "said Johan Malsjo. The robot, called "Artis Zeego", working together with other new systems in Hybrid Hall. Among other works synchronously with the operation and X-ray table, it provides screens and monitors with X-rays and allows themselves to be filmed by cameras in the courtroom. Total, Siemens has supplied the equipment for 13 million kronor to the hybrid room. |
