- Abstract
- Introduction Free flap surgery is inconvenient because an attending physician must observe a patient's condition every day to ensure that normal tissue is restored within 72 h after the surgery. To address this problem, this paper proposes a remote monitoring technology to observe a patient's condition in real time. Methods To design a monitoring system, the camera consists of MCU board, DC-DC converter, alarm performance, Wi-fil module, and server, and the camera and MCU part is connected to the server through the wi-fi network. A camera obtains the images of the surgical site once every 2 s, and the images are transmitted to the attending physician or nurse via Wi-Fi communication. The working distance between camera and surgical site is 56 cm, and the viewing angle of a camera is 60 degrees (radius). Results A video shooting test is also performed, in which the images are obtained once per hour between 17:00 and 08:00 the next day; the results show that high-quality images are obtained in the video shooting test. The imaging error is zero (0 GB) in the video shooting test results. Discussion and Conclusion The imaging of the surgical site can be obtained by camera system, and the proposed method is that there no storage error occurs during the shooting process. In addition, the shooting performance has high velocity. It is possible to control the WD according to a patient's body via a holding manipulator used for the camera. The new method is expected to be used for remote patient management, for a wide range of procedures, in the medical field.
