ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical application effects of the logistics robot as innovative mode in consumables management in operating room.Methods Clinical application experiment using self-designed medical logistics robot was conducted.During single point distribution,indicators including the average time/trip of logistics robots,the error rate of transporting goods,replacing the workload of the distributor,the incidence of cost loss,the right rate of avoiding pedestrians,the right rate of avoiding obstacles,the number of being lost,and the speed of operational reaction were recorded.The time of picking(T1),the delivery time(T2),and the check time(T3) of test between logistics robot and manual operation were compared.Results Experiment results were obtained from 422 trips using logistics robot during single point distribution,and the average time for each trip was 1.75 min.one logistics robot was able to take the workload of 3 to 4 people;logistics robot avoided pedestrians for 420 times;it avoided obstacles for 414 times,it was lost for 13 times,and its speed of operational reaction was normal for 419 times;the comparison results between logistics robot and manual operation showed that T1,P＞0.05;T2 and T3,P＜ 0.01,and the distribution time using robot was less than that of manual operation.Conclusion Using logistics robot for distribution of high value consumables can shorten the time of applying consumables,operation with high distribution accuracy and information precision.
