Abstract
- Introduction: Although videos of surgical procedures are useful as an educational tool, the recording of trauma surgeries in emergency situations is difficult. We describe an inexpensive and practical shooting method using a commercially available head-mounted video camera. Methods: We used a ContourHD 1080p Helmet Camera (Contour Inc., Seattle, Washington, USA.). This small, selfcontained video camera and recording system was originally designed for easy videography of outdoor sports by participants. Results: We were able to easily make high-quality video recordings of our trauma surgeries, including an emergency room thoracotomy for chest stab wounds and a crush laparoptomy for a severe liver injury. Conclusion: There are currently many options for recording surgery in the field, but the recording device and system should be chosen according to the surgical situation. We consider the use of a helmet-mounted, selfcontained high-definition video camera-recorder to be an inexpensive, quick, and easy method for recording trauma surgeries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
