AR technology, also known as AR or virtual reality, refers to a technology that combines and allows interaction of the virtual world on the display system with the real world through the position and angle of the camera video and image analysis technology. This technology is different from VR technology, and its characteristics can be easily explained as follows: when using AR technology, the user's eyes can see not only the real world but also the virtual world derived from the computer through things in the real world. ⋯ This article proposes the perioperative nursing research method of vascular decompression for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia under AR medical technology, including an overview of trigeminal neuralgia, perioperative related research, and AR medical technology algorithms, and designs related experiments to study whether AR medical technology can bring good news to nursing. Experimental results show that 96% of patients believe that with the enhancement of realistic medical technology, perioperative vascular decompression care for trigeminal neuralgia can help them recover faster and can be gradually popularized.

In the beginning of 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic started to spread globally, causing panic to the lives of people around the world; many countries executed lockdown of cities or even total lockdown of the entire countries. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is transmitted via air droplets. In medical environments that use traditional hermetic ventilation systems, medical personnel who come in contact with patients are more susceptible to infection compared to regular staff; therefore, the air flow and air quality of hermetic negative pressure isolation wards are highly critical. ⋯ Based on the results from the experiment site, this innovative system was designed and implemented based on the guidelines of hospital facilities and achieved air exchange per hour in excess of 12 times/hour, reaching a maximum of 54.5 times/hour. Indoor CO2 concentration was 576 ppm, negative pressure was -14 Pa, indoor temperature was 23.3°C, indoor humidity was 54.1%, and sensible heat exchange efficiency (ηs) was 105.88% which effectively reduced ventilation load. Therefore, this innovative full-outer-air-intake natural air-conditioning system can provide medical staff and patients with a safe and healthy environment that prevents cross-infection.
