Not really, sorry. This is from personal experience, and all I have is anectodes from the trenches of the OR and ER. I guess you might find some articles on MEDLINE/Pubmed, but I suspect that it's not a well-studied problem because it doesn't make/lose enough money for the right people.
However, even if emergency escape hatches exist for the particular task at hand I'd bet on the staff on site to not be aware of those anyways.
Technology brought complexities to healthcare that healthcare workers are not educated to handle. For instance, try asking to undock a surgical robot for anesthesia to gain access to the patient in an emergency. On DaVinci robots, there's a procedure for doing that in 30 seconds. Last time we tried it in our OR, it took >10 minutes.
