Augmented-Reality Ultrasound-Guided Critical Care Procedures for the Far-Forward Combat Medic
Abstract
Current U/S guidance of venous cannulation is difficult to master and is not intuitive. Even under optional conditions, high error raters and complications of U/S guided venous cannulation are well documented. Real-time, accurate administration of targeted analgesia through conventional ultrasound (U/S)-guided peripheral nerve blocks is key to reduce systemic, sedating analgesic use. Our project aimed to create a minimally viable product (MVP), with the hypothesis that this U/S-guide MVP will enhance nerve block and venous cannulation success rates and reduce errors and/or complications compared to conventional ultrasound probe and needle techniques. We successfully developed the MVP, completed development of an ultrasound phantom, and performed initial testing of the assembled ultrasound prototype on the phantom.
