| This is the most accurate robot collecting human blood |
Researchers from Rutgers Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital have developed a visual subcutaneous skin sampling robot that performs better blood sampling tasks than people who may one day reduce inflammation, thrombosis and other problems. ,
Taking blood from patients with easily accessible veins is relatively easy. However, this task becomes more difficult for patients who do not have visible or visible veins, especially for patients with physical impairment. In this case, the employees may need to work. Ultrasound to clear the veins.
The blood collection robot uses the built-in ultrasound technique to locate the needle, which the step is skipped directly. The entire system also includes a sampling unit and a blood analyzer connected to the centrifuge.
The device delivers fast results and enables healthcare professionals to spend more time with patients in hospitals and elsewhere. According to the researchers, the device can remove 97% of blood once the veins are generally reached, and the pass rate is 87%. A sample of 31 participants.
Depending on the nature of the problem, doctors have reported failure rates between 27% and 60% in patients with difficulty accessing the veins.
The robot is still in the prototype stage, and researchers can improve its success rate and use in a single day in ambulances and emergency rooms for operations such as intravenous catheters and dialysis.
The next step is to customize the device to improve the success rate for patients with difficulty accessing the veins. The data from this study is used to improve AI in robots to improve their performance.
"This device can help clinicians take blood samples quickly, safely and safely, and avoid unnecessary competition for patients when inserting multiple needles," said lead researcher Josh Lipheimer. Illness and pain.
