1 SETTING UP A ROBOTIC SPECIALITY- A NURSING PERSPECTIVE Peta Barnes ANUM Robotics Epworth Freemasons VPNG Presentation 2017

2 FOCUS ON YOUR GOAL. DON T LOOK IN ANY DIRECTION BUT AHEAD AUDIENCE KNOWLEDGE WHO? WHAT? WHY?

3 Definition CONTENT History & Model Development & Pros & Cons Epworth HealthCare Impact & Stats & Surgical Specialities Success Vital components- WHAT WE GOT RIGHT! Role of Robotic ANUM ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT- WHAT REMAINS A CHALLENGE! Training Component Clinical Governance-Robot Register & Inventory Management Team Development & Challenges Robot Register & Inventory Management

4 Robotic Surgery using the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System is a unique minimally invasive alternative to open and laparoscopic surgery - New and Improved Laparoscopy approach DEFINITION OF ROBOTIC SURGERY

5 ROBOTIC DEVELOPMENT TIME LINE

6 KNOWN BENEFITS

7 Advantages Mechanical advantages over traditional laparoscopy.-enhanced visualisation- 3D & HD Stabilization of instruments within the sterile field-tremor reduction. Improved identification of tissue planes & blood vessels Better ergonomics & motion scaling. Less tissue trauma Reduced blood loss- Less transfusions rates Reduced postoperative pain Fewer postoperative complications Shorter recovery time & hospital stays (Zender and Thell 2010) Disadvantages High capital acquisition cost Instrumentation cost-current instruments are limited to a fixed number of uses, unrelated to instrument wear. Equipment maintenance, servicing and repair Large robot & console size make placement adjustments challenging Operating room time- multiple variables: Room setup time draping, docking, procedure time, room turnover time, patient selection Lack of haptics (force feedback) Mechanical Risks Problems with multi quadrant surgery(si-typical for single quadrant application- Xi multi quadrant) Training Issues-Motivation of staff that are not technically minded. Lack of outcome data Research THE NEW THE OLD

8 DVSR developed in 1980 by Intuitive Surgical Inc. through research by DARPA in the USA Approved for the use of Lap Surgery by the FDA in the USA in July 2000 Since 1995 Intuitive Surgical have updated the robot 3 times This gives an indication of how rapidly robotic surgery is growing QUICK HISTORY LESSON:

9 Standard S Robot Si Robot ALWAYS IMPROVING..

10

11 ADVANTAGES FOR OPERATING ROOM NURSES PROVIDES BETTER VISUALIZATION IN VISION CART MAKING SURGERY FOR US AS CLINICIANS EASIER AND CLEAR ALLOWS US TO HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND ROLES MOREOVER WE CAN ESTABLISH TERRITORY AS CLINICAL EXPERTS AND EXPAND OUR ROLES AS PROFESSIONAL NURSES.

12 SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION IN 2001 EPWORTH HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION OF ROBOTIC SURGERY HAS EXPANDING IN ALL SURGICAL FIELDS AND SPECIALITIES Urology Gynaecology Cardiac Thoracic Colorectal Hepatobiliary

13 ESTABLISHED EXPERTS TEAM BUILDING ESTABLISHED EXPERTS BUILD RESOURSES AND IMPROVE EXPERTISE

14 Epworth HealthCare is an Australian leader in robotic surgery. Pioneered the use of da Vinci robotic system in 2003 for the first robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy in Australia at Epworth Richmond. Epworth is the busiest centre of robotic surgery in Australia. Over 4,000 surgical procedures have been performed using our robots. More than 40 Epworth-accredited surgeons are trained to operate them. The Epworth Centre for Robotic Surgery is also committed to ongoing research. Epworth s surgeons have presented multiple scientific papers and published internationally documenting the Epworth experience. The Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre is also based at Epworth. Firsts at Epworth in Australia: First radical prostatectomy First radical cystectomy First cardiac surgery First hysterectomy First hospital in Australia to install a dual-console robot for training WHY? EPWORTH HEALTHCARE ROBOTICS

15 ESTABLISHED EXPERTS To date, since its commencement in mid 2011 Surgeons at Epworth Freemasons have completed 2,222 da Vinci procedures covering Gynaecology Urology Thoracic and General surgery.

26 Unsettling Emotions: Explaining the vision Being Inclusive Honest Communication Unfamiliar Roles: Clear definitions Working with peoples strengths Different Environments: Liaising with different specialities Encouraging creativity & solutions EDUCATION CHALLENGES AND ACTION TAKEN:

27 Clinical Nursing Audits Regular 1 on1 Staff Reviews Documentation Compliance Robotic Register Documentation Inventory Management Compliance Robotic Scope Damage Audit Case Code Compliance Set Up Time Audits Procedure Time Records CLINICAL GOVERNANCE-

28 Lack of STANDARDS & GUIDELINES: Research & building networks- Robotic Workshop Interstate. Competencies and Guidelines devised. Time Restraints Teaching to Team and Individuals : Increase Staffing levels where possible. Encourage a supportive environment. Co-ordinating an unfamiliar list: Standardise practises re surgical sterile setups and surgical processes. Multi skilled team to confidently assist one another. CHALLENGES: Multidisciplinary team training for resuscitation: Ensure Patient quality care Empower nurses to feel confident and prepared during robotic surgery

29 MORE CHALLENGES Limited Robotic Research Early starts Late finishes Trouble shooting equipment Theatre room modifications Limited knowledge and skills Individual learning needs Liaising with different specialities Learning new processes Limited sharing of knowledge Economic competition in the Private Health Care System Developing a network of knowledge.

30 A FEW LESSONS LEARNT? Being a good role model as the ANUM is vital within your team. Fully understanding your role will ensure clear direction. Safe and efficient leadership is important. Be resilient your team will need you through the good times and the bad. Be supportive of new ideas- if you do not try you will never know. Keep challenging yourself and your team Be patient Implementing new technology and techniques takes time and patience.
