Wireless In-Ear Communication for Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Simulated Operating Room Evaluation
Effective communication is vital for patient safety, yet failures are common, often due to outdated methods.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.
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.
