Claims (5)

  1. A surgical hub configured to communicably couple to a plurality of modular devices, the surgical hub comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the surgical hub to: receive perioperative data from at least one of the plurality of modular devices, wherein the perioperative data comprises data detected by the at least one of the plurality of modular devices during the course of a surgical procedure; determine one or more event types associated with the perioperative data received from the plurality of the modular devices; aggregate, for each event type, the perioperative data from the plurality of modular devices; compare, for each event type, the aggregated perioperative data from the plurality of modular devices with baseline perioperative data, wherein the baseline perioperative data comprises an average or expected duration of the surgical procedure or the procedural step of the surgical procedure derived from durations stored for multiple prior instances of the corresponding surgical procedure or corresponding procedural step; and provide feedback according to whether the aggregated perioperative data from the plurality of modular devices for a subject event type deviates from the baseline perioperative data for the subject event type by a threshold amount, wherein the event type comprises a procedural type of the surgical procedure and/or a procedural step of the surgical procedure, wherein the perioperative data comprises a length of time that the plurality of modular devices are in use, and wherein the feedback comprises a suggestion for different modular devices according to the length of certain procedures or length of steps within a procedure.
  2. The surgical hub of claim 1, wherein the memory further stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the surgical hub to provide the feedback in response to a query.
  3. The surgical hub of claim 1, the surgical hub comprising: a control circuit comprising the processor and the memory coupled to the processor.
  4. The surgical hub of claim 3, wherein the control circuit is further configured to cause the surgical hub to provide the feedback in response to a query.
  5. The surgical hub of claim 3 or claim 4, wherein the control circuit is further configured to provide the feedback upon the aggregated perioperative data deviating from the baseline perioperative data by a threshold amount.

Description

BACKGROUND The present disclosure relates to various surgical systems. Surgical procedures are typically performed in surgical operating theaters or rooms in a healthcare facility such as, for example, a hospital. A sterile field is typically created around the patient. The sterile field may include the scrubbed team members, who are properly attired, and all furniture and fixtures in the area. Various surgical devices and systems are utilized in performance of a surgical procedure. US 2014/0081659 A1 discloses various systems and methods for surgical and interventional planning, support, post-operative follow-up, and functional recovery tracking. US 2016/0331474 A1 discloses a computer-implemented method for generating and presenting an electronic display of guidance for performing a robotic medical procedure.
