Abstract
The recognition of contours, colors and movements, with absolute precision and less uncertainty, is essential for surgeon. In order to guarantee the maximum visual force it is important the illuminating parameters could be perfectly adapted to current operating room conditions. While surgery fields of reduced dimensions require as much light, surgical interventions that take place in the deep cavities of human body and are characterized by surgery fields of higher dimensions, require extended light beams and high illumination. The current types of traditional advanced and smart scialitic lamp produce high level of uncertainty because of their illuminating quality and shadows. Consequently, surgeon is obliged not to be absent-minded during operation because of uncertainty. This paper describes a novel LED-based scialitic lamp for operating rooms designed and build in order to be capable of reducing uncertainty that has been evaluated by taking into account different parameters. Since LED technology is recent and, its application in surgery is a matter of continuous researches, it is not easy to determine the impact of uncertainty on surgery field, that, is the available space through which surgeon can operate.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
