The implementation of the project to create the first video operating room in the country largely determines how practically savvy young specialists will come to hospitals tomorrow, to whom we can entrust the most valuable — your health. The well-known angiosurgeon Viktor CHERNYAK spoke about the need to acquire such skills within the framework of this project in an interview with our portal.
Victor Anatolyevich CHERNYAK — Angiosurgeon, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Operative Surgery and Topographic Anatomy of the O. A. Bogomolets National Medical University, Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine.
The creation of a video operating room will help improve the practical skills of future doctors
— Viktor Anatolyevich, how did the idea of this unique and the only project in Ukraine come about?
— Life suggested. The fact is that future doctors face a difficult task. Being theoretically savvy, they do not always have the opportunity to reinforce their knowledge in practice. In addition, the Bologna system involves the ethical side of treatment, when only a highly qualified doctor has the right to deal with patients. This — on one side.
On the other hand, the practical experience that students can acquire during specialist operations can be picked up by a few. After all, any operating room is a small room, around the table of which no more than ten people can be at the same time. And those who want to see the process directly number in the hundreds, or even thousands. Add to this that the operating table does not stand on the podium, that is, it is problematic to see what is happening over the shoulder of a colleague in front. And then the students proposed their solution - to create a video operating room.
Similar projects already exist in Europe, which allows doctors to observe a complex surgical process from monitor screens. The creation of this in our country will allow Ukrainian medicine to reach the European level.
Establishing a video operating room for medical students will allow:
• to increase the training of master class listeners by displaying the image on the monitor;
• attract leading experts from Ukraine and Europe to conduct master classes online;
• analyze errors by viewing video recordings and receive comments from specialists;
• prepare training videos for students, interns and young professionals;
• help medical students across the country acquire skills.
How to make a modern video operating room out of a destroyed room
— How did you manage to find a room in the very center of Kyiv?
— On the basis of the Aleksandrovskaya (Oktyabrskaya) hospital, where practical classes are held for students, there is a tiny room that has long been used for technical purposes. Once upon a time, future doctors performed their first operations in it, scientific research was also carried out there… But over time, it dilapidated, fell into disrepair. And, perhaps, she would have stood like this even further if the students had not offered to breathe a second life into her.
Repaired. Purchased the necessary equipment. And now there is a question about arranging this training operating video equipment. This will make it possible to carry out operations online and display everything that happens at the operating table on the monitor screen, where anyone can watch the process.
— Doesn't it bother you that what you see on the screen will still be different from what you can observe while watching the surgeon work directly?
— Of course, the camera will not be able to convey all the nuances that the eye will see. But we want to show students the possibilities of modern surgery. After all, not all students can appreciate them. Among the students there are people from medical dynasties who want to continue them. But there are those who have not yet chosen their path in medicine and are at a crossroads. The video operating room would help them not only to see the process, but also to reveal the dormant talents of surgeons.
— Many are ready to support the project. How practically can this be done?
— It is enough for them to tell their relatives and friends about this project. And likes and reposts on social networks will help the team of students competing in the Nescafe IdeaX contest of ideas to receive a grant of UAH 100,000 to equip the first video operating room in Ukraine for future doctors.
