Abstract

Effective communication is vital for patient safety, yet failures are common, often due to outdated methods. This study aimed to assess whether in-ear communication devices improve communication in orthopedic surgery simulations compared to traditional loud voice methods. Fifteen participants underwent simulations using both in-ear wireless devices and standard communication. Results showed significant improvements with in-ear devices in correctly identifying phrases (78.6% vs 44%), effectiveness (7.9/10 vs 4.9/10), and clarity (8/10 vs 4/10), all P < .001. Participants also favored in-ear devices in usability assessments. Sound levels recorded were comparable between groups. In conclusion, in-ear communication is safe and effective in orthopedic settings, potentially enhancing efficiency and safety. These devices can mitigate loud noises, benefiting surgeon well-being and patient outcomes.

用于全关节关节置换术的无线耳内通信:模拟手术室评估
有效的沟通对患者安全至关重要,但往往由于方法过时,沟通失败的情况屡见不鲜。本研究旨在评估与传统的大声说话方法相比,耳内式通讯设备是否能改善骨科手术模拟中的通讯。15 名参与者同时使用耳内无线设备和标准通讯方式进行了模拟。结果显示,耳内式设备在正确识别短语(78.6% 对 44%)、有效性(7.9/10 对 4.9/10)和清晰度(8/10 对 4/10)方面都有明显改善,所有 P < .001。在可用性评估中,参与者也更青睐入耳式设备。各组记录的音量相当。总之,耳内式通讯在矫形外科环境中安全有效,有可能提高效率和安全性。这些设备可以减轻嘈杂声,有利于外科医生的健康和患者的治疗效果。

期刊介绍: Arthroplasty Today is a companion journal to the Journal of Arthroplasty. The journal Arthroplasty Today brings together the clinical and scientific foundations for joint replacement of the hip and knee in an open-access, online format. Arthroplasty Today solicits manuscripts of the highest quality from all areas of scientific endeavor that relate to joint replacement or the treatment of its complications, including those dealing with patient outcomes, economic and policy issues, prosthetic design, biomechanics, biomaterials, and biologic response to arthroplasty. The journal focuses on case reports. It is the purpose of Arthroplasty Today to present material to practicing orthopaedic surgeons that will keep them abreast of developments in the field, prove useful in the care of patients, and aid in understanding the scientific foundation of this subspecialty area of joint replacement. The international members of the Editorial Board provide a worldwide perspective for the journal''s area of interest. Their participation ensures that each issue of Arthroplasty Today provides the reader with timely, peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality.
