Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital delivers world class research and care for their patients in England. After implementing Quail Digital's Pro11 hospital communication headsets, the medical team saw a number of benefits.
Challenges
- Communication
- Added stress
- Education of those viewing the operation
Benefits
- Improved communication
- Calmer work environment
- Improved efficiency
- Student education
Challenges
Dr. Paul Modi, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon at Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital, stated that communication during surgeries is challenging. The operating theatre can become loud, requiring team members to repeat themselves to be heard. This impacts procedure efficiency and creates a more stressful environment.
Benefits
Headsets significantly enhance communication by reducing noise levels in the operating theatre, as there's no need to raise voices. This fosters a calmer, more efficient surgical environment.
Effective Communication
The high audio quality prevents the need for repetition during procedures. In robotic surgery, the console surgeon can communicate with the anesthetist, bedside surgeon, scrub nurse, and perfusionist without looking up, moving, or raising their voice.
Calmer Environment
Atmosphere in theatre is a lot calmer and quieter and more efficient as a result of using quail digital headsets.
Improved Efficiency
Procedures become more efficient with less wasted moves throughout.
Education
Headsets benefit visiting students and staff from other departments by allowing them to hear the team's plans for valve repair and patient intervention clearly. They can actively engage and easily ask questions if they need clarification.
