“…Paramedics are trained to manage a difficult airway and perform a surgical cricothyrotomy, yet it is extremely challenging for many paramedics. Even those physicians most experienced in airway management recognize the sense of urgency and anxiety associated with control of the difficult airway, given that trauma victims without an adequate airway will die within minutes if they do not receive appropriate treatment [32]. The inability to secure an airway is the most common cause of preventable death in pre-hospital care [33].…”

Two-dimensional (2D) videoconferencing has been explored widely in the past 15–20 years to support collaboration in healthcare. Two issues that arise in most evaluations of 2D videoconferencing in telemedicine are the difficulty obtaining optimal camera views and poor depth perception. To address these problems, we are exploring the use of a small array of cameras to reconstruct dynamic three-dimensional (3D) views of a remote environment and of events taking place within. The 3D views could be sent across wired or wireless networks to remote healthcare professionals equipped with fixed displays or with mobile devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs). The remote professionals’ viewpoints could be specified manually or automatically (continuously) via user head or PDA tracking, giving the remote viewers head-slaved or hand-slaved virtual cameras for monoscopic or stereoscopic viewing of the dynamic reconstructions. We call this idea remote 3D medical collaboration. In this article we motivate and explain the vision for 3D medical collaboration technology; we describe the relevant computer vision, computer graphics, display, and networking research; we present a proof-of-concept prototype system; and we present evaluation results supporting the general hypothesis that 3D remote medical collaboration technology could offer benefits over conventional 2D videoconferencing in emergency healthcare.

“…4 He admitted that as the symptoms of both inflammatory conditions looked identical at early stages, his instinct to pick the successful diagnosis 'was not for logical reasons'. Instincts by definition are not inter-personal and thus, making the conscious decision to act upon or ignore one's instinct must be done when taking into account the specific circumstances.…”

Effective training is essential to decrease the number of errors during surgery, especially during minimally invasive surgery. To develop effective training methods, it should be realized that different types of errors exist. Errors can be divided into slips, lapses and mistakes. The type of error very much depends on the complexity of the task performed. Therefore, these error types can be roughly classified to the level of surgeon's behavior which can be modelled using Rasmussen's model of human behavior that distinguishes between skill, rule and knowledge-based behavior. To avoid errors, training methods for the different levels of behavior are needed, having their own objectives, means and needs. To date, training objectives, means and needs are not standardized.
