A Proposal for a Standardized Nomenclature of the C-arm Movements
No formal didactic source exists concerning terminology for movement of the C-arm in the operating room (OR). Many terminologies exist, breeding confusion among OR staff.

description | No formal didactic source exists concerning terminology for movement of the C-arm in the operating room (OR). Many terminologies exist, breeding confusion among OR staff. The objective of this study was to survey the existing C-arm movement terminologies among orthopaedic surgeons and radiologic technologists and propose a standardized nomenclature moving forward. METHODS: Forty-six orthopaedic surgeons and 70 radiologic technologists were surveyed. Pertinent product manuals and literature from PubMed were reviewed to find existing terms for the C-arm movement. A focus group of orthopaedic surgeons and radiologic technologists was formed and a standardized nomenclature of the C-arm terminology was developed using the Delphi method. RESULTS: The survey response rate was 71%. The mean percentage of agreement on terms to describe movement was 47% (range, 13% to 83%). Agreement on terms to describe direction was 46% (range, 23% to 73%), and multiple frames of reference were described. No consensus was found by searching the product manuals. Using the Delphi method, we arrived at a standardized nomenclature for the C-arm movement that is reproducible and familiar. DISCUSSION: A standardized terminology for the C-arm movement is described that will help fill a void in OR communication, combat confusion, and provide reproducible results during orthopaedic cases. |
