MIT has created a robot that helps stop dangerous bleeding

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Lincoln Lab have developed

It will help even minimally trained rescuers to control severe internal bleeding in victims with serious and life-threatening injuries.It helps insert a needle and catheter into a large blood vessel that canbe damaged.

In emergency medicine, there is a so-called"golden hour". This is the idea that victims of traumatic injuries, especially those with heavy bleeding, should receive help within 60 minutes. And sometimes in just 10 minutes. For this reason, rescuers are trained to act as soon as possible.

The problem is that some life-saving procedures, such as inserting a catheter into a large blood vessel, requireThis means that the patient must be taken to the hospital.perish. 

To solve the problem, MIT engineers createda robot that stops bleeding and is controlled by artificial intelligence. The AI-GUIDE device provides ultrasound imaging and helps rescuers place a catheter into the femoral blood vessels.

To perform the surgery, the doctor places the AI-GUIDE on the patient's thigh along the inguinal fold.Using ultrasound, the device displays a simple display image with special navigation to guide the rescuer to the right location.

When the needle reaches the target, the rescuer pulls the "trigger" and the needle hits It is attached to a special wire guide that delivers drugs and micro-instruments to stop bleeding.
