Integrated surgery method
First Claim
1. A method for conducting a medical procedure in an operating room, comprising:
- defining a predetermined operational plan comprising a plurality of positions of a procedure object over time;
assigning a desired time milestone within the procedure for each position of the object in the predetermined operational plan;
using a first camera-based 3-D motion sensor mounted in a known position and orientation in a global coordinate system of the operating room to generate signals related to a 3-D position of the procedure object in the operating room relative to the first camera-based 3-D motion sensor;
automatically monitoring progress of the medical procedure based at least in part upon one or more positions of the procedure object over time, the one or more positions based at least in part upon the signals from the first camera-based 3-D motion sensor;
comparing the one or more positions of the procedure object over time with the desired time milestone within the procedure for each position of the object in the predetermined operational plan;
recording data relating to an actual time for each position of the object in the predetermined operational plan compared with the desired time milestone; and
using the data during or after the procedure to provide a recommendation for a change to a future predetermined operational plan.

Abstract
A method for conducting a medical procedure in an operating room includes the steps of using a first camera-based 3-D motion sensor mounted in a known position and orientation relative to a global coordinate system of the operating room to generate signals related to the 3-D position of a procedure object in the operating room based upon an outer shape of the procedure object relative to the first camera-based 3-D motion sensor; and automatically monitoring progress of the medical procedure with a controller based at least in part upon one or more positions of the procedure object relative to time as compared with a predetermined operational plan for moving the procedure object over time, the one or more positions based at least in part upon the signals from the first camera-based 3-D motion sensor.
