The TeleSurgery is a joint project of the National Telehealth Center and the Department of Surgery. This endeavor is composed of three components namely TeleRounds, Tele-OR and Tele-SICU.
TeleRounds
TeleRounds is the installation of wireless access to Wards 2 and 4(Surgery Wards). A mobile laptop cart is being used to make rounds. The goal of this component is to be able to help the consultants do their rounds virtually and assess their patients in the hospital even they are not physically present
Tele-SICU
Tele-SICU (Surgery ICU) has the same set-up and activities with the telerounds. The difference of Tele-SICU from Telerounds is the implementation inside the intensive care unit. The added activity besides viewing the ICU patients, TeleSICU is also intended for monitoring the contraptions(ventilators,heart monitor) attached to the patients which serve as a telemetry aspect.
The Minimally Invasive Surgical Room is connected to the OR Conference Room via closed-circuit televisions (CCTV).Using this system,the goal is to provide an avenue of telementoring of General Surgeons located in MISR to the residents located in the OR conference room. Tele-OR is an interactive learning of different surgical procedures in real-time.
