This study aimed to examine the feasibility and potential benefits of an optical see-through head-mounted display (OST-HMD) during real-time ultrasound-guided thoracentesis simulations.
Six physicians performed a thoracentesis simulation using an OST-HMD and a wireless image transmission system. The time required, puncture needle visibility, pleural fluid collection success rate, and head movement during the procedure using a smart glass equipped with an inertial measurement unit were all recorded and compared with and without the HMD.
Study participants successfully extracted effusions in all procedures. The use of OST-HMD did not significantly affect the time of the procedure, but notably decreased the horizontal and vertical head movements during the procedure.
The study demonstrated the feasibility of using an OST-HMD in a simulated real-time ultrasound-guided thoracentesis procedure and showed the potential of HMD in thoracentesis to improve ergonomics and accuracy. Further research is necessary to confirm these findings.
本研究旨在探讨光学透视头戴式显示器（OST-HMD）在实时超声引导下胸腔穿刺模拟过程中的可行性和潜在益处。
六名医生使用OST-HMD和无线图像传输系统进行胸腔穿刺模拟。记录使用配备惯性测量单元的智能眼镜在操作过程中所需的时间、穿刺针的可视性、胸腔积液采集成功率以及头部运动情况，并在使用和不使用HMD的情况下进行比较。
研究参与者在所有操作中均成功抽取了积液。使用OST-HMD对操作时间没有显著影响，但显著减少了操作过程中的水平和垂直头部运动。
该研究证明了在模拟实时超声引导胸腔穿刺操作中使用OST-HMD的可行性，并显示了HMD在胸腔穿刺中改善人体工程学和准确性的潜力。需要进一步研究来证实这些发现。
