Abstract
Systems and methods for providing decision making support for surgical procedures are disclosed. A system may include at least one processor configured to implement a method comprising receiving video footage of a surgical procedure performed by a surgeon on a patient in an operating room. The method may comprise accessing at least one data structure including image-related data characterizing surgical procedures. The method may include analyzing received video footage using image-related data to determine an existence of a surgical decision making junction. The method may include accessing, in at least one data structure, a correlation between an outcome and a specific action taken at a decision making junction. Based on a determined existence of a decision making junction and an accessed correlation, the method may include outputting a recommendation to a surgeon to undertake a specific action or to avoid a specific action.
