For patients suffering from cardiogenic shock cardiopulmonary resuscitation may not be sufficient to restore normal heart function. However, their chances of survival may be increased with the use of an extracorporeal support system. With this system the patient's organs are perfused while being transported to the nearest hospital for proper treatment. In the automation of an extracorporeal support...
After cardiac surgery patients are transferred to the intensive care unit for recovery. Physicians assess the patient's hemodynamic state every now and then and apply medication, if needed. This time consuming task may be done by an automated hemodynamic regulation, allowing a more continuous regulation reducing the time of recovery and enabling physicians to attend more critical tasks. To develop...
The automation of a portable extracorporeal support system may greatly help people who suffer from cardiogenic shock by providing them with an optimal oxygen perfusion and avoid mult-organ failure while being transported to a hospital. This however requires the creation of tools that help in the design of the ideal controller. In this paper a simulation environment is described were a cardiovascular...
Telesurgery systems integrate multimodal communication and robotic technologies to enable surgical procedures to be performed from remote locations. They allow human surgeons to intuitively control laparoscopic instruments and to navigate within the human body. In this paper, we present selected topics on multimodal interaction in the context of telesurgery applications. These are results from the...
Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) systems are routinely used during different procedures in cardiac surgery. The ECC used in this experiment was designed to ensure organ perfusion in an emergency situation. While the patient suffers from cardiogenic shock the novel semi-automated-priming extracorporeal circulatory support system (Lifebridge B2T) enables stabilization in or transportation to a clinic...
In the last decade, the advancement of endoscopic and minimally invasive surgery has had a significant impact on patients and surgeons in various surgical fields. But in heart surgery the design of telemanipulators did not leverage endoscopic procedures. The focus is on building an experimental system for endoscopic and minimally invasive heart surgery which provides force feedback. In addition automating...
