Abstract
A method is provided for intra-surgical use of a surgical patient health record in a teleoperated surgical system that includes a surgical instrument and a surgical instrument actuator, comprising: receiving user input commands to control movement of a robotic surgical instrument; tracking robotic surgical instrument actuator state in response to the user input commands; and transitioning robotic surgical instrument actuator state to a safety mode in response to the robotic surgical instrument transitioning to a prescribed actuator state.
Claims20
A method of presenting an intraoperative warning message in a surgical system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a health record that identifies one or more health characteristics of a surgical patient;
- identifying, by the one or more processors, based at least on a first health characteristic of the one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient, a first surgical stage of a plurality of stages of a surgical procedure to be performed using one or more robotic surgical instruments that poses an enhanced risk to the surgical patient;
- matching, by the one or more processors using one or more information structures stored in a computer readable storage device, the first health characteristic of the surgical patient with a warning message corresponding to the first surgical stage;
- identifying, by the one or more processors using the one or more information structures, a first actuation state of a plurality of actuation states of a robotic surgical instrument that is associated with the first surgical stage;
- tracking, by the one or more processors, an operational state of the robotic surgical instrument during a surgical procedure;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that the operational state of the robotic surgical instrument matches the first actuation state associated with the first surgical stage;
- and
- causing, responsive to the determination, a display device to present the warning message to a surgical team, the warning message indicating a risk to the surgical patient based on the first health characteristic during the first surgical stage.

A surgical system comprising:
- one or more processors, coupled to memory, and configured to:
- receive a health record of a surgical patient that identifies one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient;
- identify, based at least on a first health characteristic of the one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient, a first surgical stage of a plurality of stages of a surgical procedure to be performed using one or more robotic surgical instruments that poses an enhanced risk to the surgical patient;
- match, using one or more information structures stored in a computer readable storage device, the first health characteristic of the surgical patient with a warning message corresponding to the first surgical stage;
- identify, using the one or more information structures, a first actuation state of a plurality of actuation states of a robotic surgical instrument that is associated with the first surgical stage;
- track an operational state of the robotic surgical instrument during a surgical procedure;
- determine that the operational state of the robotic surgical instrument matches the first actuation state associated with the first surgical stage;
- and
- cause, responsive to the determination, a display device to present the warning message to a surgical team, the warning message indicating a risk to the surgical patient based on the first health characteristic during the first surgical stage.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions configured to cause a surgical system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a health record of a surgical patient that identifies one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient;
- identifying, based at least on a first health characteristic of the one or more health characteristics of the surgical patient, a first surgical stage of a plurality of stages of a surgical procedure to be performed using one or more robotic surgical instruments that poses an enhanced risk to the surgical patient;
- matching, using one or more information structures stored in a computer readable storage device, the first health characteristic of the surgical patient with a warning message corresponding to the first surgical stage;
- identifying, using the one or more information structures, a first actuation state of a plurality of actuation states of a robotic surgical instrument that is associated with the first surgical stage;
- tracking an operational state of the robotic surgical instrument during a surgical procedure;
- determining that the operational state of the robotic surgical instrument matches the first actuation state associated with the first surgical stage;
- and
- causing, responsive to the determination, a display device to present the warning message to a surgical team, the warning message indicating a risk to the surgical patient based on the first health characteristic during the first surgical stage.
