When this large number of visits is coupled with a predicted shortage of 100,000 nurses in Canada by 2030, ED can be expected to face resource limitations, which highlights the importance of triage systems as a source of immediate support. Technology that incorporates innovative analytical methods, automation of routine, and efficient processing can be leveraged to enhance patient outcomes, streamline clinical processes, and improve the overall quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery. This paper aims to highlight how the Triage-Bot, a proposed AI system, can assist ED nurses when triaging patients. The Triage-Bot system is based on the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS), which currently serves as a standardized and highly effective tool for prioritizing patient care in emergency departments across the country. Pre-set and open-ended questions are asked using voice and video, allowing patients to describe their health concerns and conditions. Triage-Bot automatically measures the following vital signs: heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), oxygen saturation (SpO2), respiratory rate (RR), blood pressure (BP), blood glucose (BG), and stress. The system uses artificial intelligence models, particularly those with a deep learning approach that simultaneously analyzes both the user's facial expression and voice tone. Implementation: A systematic review addressed the implications of AI in nursing and concluded that it could contribute to patient care by providing personalized instructions and/or remotely monitoring patients. The Triage-Bot system can be implemented in healthcare facilities, such as emergency department waiting rooms. The information it collects can then be added to a patient's health records to support nurses in assessing the severity of each patient's condition. Limitations: If the system is accessed without a nurse's guidance, it is imperative that the user receives information regarding when to visit a healthcare provider or ED. Continuous improvements in Triage-Bot's accessibility for patients with varying abilities are required to ensure that the system remains user-friendly during times of illness. The voice and text interaction can also be influenced by a user's understanding of language, culture, and age-related factors.</p>","PeriodicalId":22194,"journal":{"name":"Surgical technology international","volume":"44 ","pages":"61-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141992391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are applicable in native knees with major deformities and during revisions. They can also be used as a salvage procedure after distal femoral resection. The new modular hinged device system, namely the Triathlon Hinge Knee (THK) System (Stryker, Mahwah, New Jersey), reflects the advancements of third-generation design and enhances surgical flexibility by allowing streamlined integration with the Triathlon Total Stabilized (TS) System (Stryker, Mahwah, New Jersey) and the Global Modular Replacement System (GMRS, Stryker, Mahwah, New Jersey). Additionally, the Triathlon Revision Tibial Baseplate (Stryker, Mahwah, New Jersey) has been launched as part of THK and is compatible with the Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH , Stryker, Mahwah, New Jersey) femur, which allows the Revision Baseplate to replace the existing tibial component while leaving the existing MRH Femoral Component in place. The Triathlon Revision Tibial Baseplate enables orthopaedic surgeons to use constrained or hinged prostheses, including both distal and total femoral replacement options, without changing the Tibial Baseplate. This is because the TS, MRH, THK, and GMRS femurs are compatible with the new Triathlon Revision Tibial Baseplate. Additionally, the system can be augmented with metaphyseal cone constructs to help provide a stable foundation for reconstruction.
