A novel device has been developed to combat loss of blood due to hemorrhage. This new technology is a boon for military medics, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and emergency room physicians who have to care for victims of gunshots, battlefield injuries, and vehicular accidents on almost daily basis. The device uses seismic waves or vibrations coming from the chest cavity or the changes in the heartbeat timings to accurate judge the blood loss levels. In addition, the existence of immense knowledge, technological advancements, and hi-tech labs have potentially led to the development of smart wearable technologies that are portable such that ambulance crew, medics, and emergency or surgical facilities can easily use it.
Interestingly, the researchers envision making a device that can be placed on the chest to measure the signs of worsening cardiovascular activity due to heavy bleeding. Additionally, the data obtained from the device will provide details whether other treatments such as fluid resuscitation help a victim of trauma. Even though blood loss can result from various traumas, hemorrhage is often found to be hidden from medical professionals as the blood pressure and heart rates are usually fluctuating in people undergoing trauma. However, such elevations are focused on only after the blood loss reaches a fatal stage.
It is easy to measure the vital signs but those signs are the ones the body tries hard to regulate and thus, measuring them during critical situations or taking decisions related to the scenario becomes difficult. The fundamental goal is to measure the external indicator of cardiovascular system performance with the direct measurements of blood volume and pressure using catheters. The most important factor is the cardiac timing intervals taken in carrying out different operations. Thus, the noninvasive mechanical and electrical devices use machine learning algorithms to generate a numerical score depending on the blood loss. The new wearable patch will help measure vital signs easily during the traumatic situation.
