Official title
The Application of Eye-Tracking Technology in Perioperative Management and Education: a Prospective Observational Study
Overview
The goal of this observational study is to explore the value of eye-tracking technology in perioperative management and teaching. The study aims to understand how eye-tracking can help analyze the attention distribution of clinicians during perioperative procedures and optimize workflows for improved safety and teaching outcomes. The main questions it seeks to answer are: How does eye-tracking technology reveal the focus distribution patterns of experienced and novice clinicians in perioperative scenarios? Can visualizing expert clinicians' eye movement patterns improve the learning outcomes and operational skills of medical students? Participants include anesthesiologists and medical students involved in perioperative management training. Eye-tracking data, such as fixation duration, fixation count, and heatmaps, will be collected during surgical and training scenarios. The study will analyze correlations between attention distribution and operational performance. This research will provide insights into optimizing perioperative safety and revolutionizing medical education using objective attention data.
Primary outcome measures
- Identify the "hotspots" where anesthesiologists focus their attention within different areas of the anesthesia machines. [Time frame: 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- The percentage of time anesthesiologists' eyes attention. [Time frame: 1 year]
- Attention of the clinician [Time frame: 1 year]
