Highlights the need for perioperative professionals to prepare for the integration of emerging technologies like robotics and artificial organs into the operating room.
New and emerging technologies can help increase the quality of health care, but implementing these technologies in a perioperative setting can create many challenges. Practitioners need to be aware of premises underlying future trends in health care and the kinds of technological changes that they can expect. Robots, digital displays, patient tracking systems, artificial organs, and magnetic sensors are some of the emerging technologies that are changing the perioperative landscape. Practitioners must be prepared to implement strategies that address the practical aspects of integrating these new technologies into the perioperative area.
