Coming Soon: An Intubation Robot?
|
|
The team of Canadian researchers that created "McSleepy," an automated anesthesia system, has built a remote-controlled robot designed to intubate patients with more precision than human hands can.
The robot, called the Kepler Intubation System, treated its first patient this month in Montreal General Hospital under the guidance of anesthesiologist Thomas Hemmerling, MD, of McGill University.
Dr. Hemmerling controlled the 1-armed robot with a joystick from a remote workstation. He says the robot's precise handling, the use of a joystick and video image will level the playing field among anesthesia providers with varying skill levels in intubating patients.
"One day, it might actually be the standard practice of airway management," says Dr. Hemmerling in a statement.
