Digital Awakening: Engineers, Doctors Are Using Advanced Anesthesia Machines And New Insights from Data To Improve Patient Outcomes

Tomas Kellner
March 25, 2019

General anesthesia, basically a reversible, medically induced coma, is one of the marvels of modern medicine. Carefully calibrated drugs, ventilators and other technology keep patients breathing and comfortable during their most vulnerable moments — and gratefully unable to recall what transpired on the surgical table. From their perspective, it’s simple: Breathe in, breathe out, wake up in a recovery bed. But for the healthcare providers, it’s a delicate art as well as a science.

"Robots pitched in on delicate eye surgery, scientists 3D-printed soft shapes that can be moved by magnet and researchers figured out a way to predict who’s going to fall ill with the flu virus. We’ve caught the scientific-discovery bug, though, and it doesn’t seem to be going away.

As a cardiothoracic surgeon at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, Richard Trimlett knows a few things about the heart. He and his colleagues in the U.K. perform 35,000 heart surgeries every year on average. Trimlett typically begins an open-heart surgery by stabilizing the heart with a suction device. But a minimally invasive procedure called keyhole heart surgery is even more delicate.

When 15-year-old Jessica Vargas from Cali, Colombia, started getting headaches two years ago, a brain scan told her family something they never wanted or expected to hear: Jessica had a large, complicated congenital aneurysm — a bulging blood vessel in her brain — on an artery that’s difficult to access.

Laser Vision: How GE Engineer Helped Boston Brain Surgeon Zap Cancer With A Laser Beam

Tomas Kellner
April 11, 2016
The late Harvard radiologist Ferenc Jolesz spent much of his career looking for creative ways to kill brain cancer at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. In the early 1990s, he found a promising new weapon. He decided to send a laser beam along an optical fiber threaded in the patient’s brain through a small hole in the skull. The fiber would carry the laser’s powerful light, terminate precisely at the tumor and destroy it with its intense heat.

This week brought a plethora of news from the bleeding edge of research. Monkeys learned to drive wheelchairs with their thoughts, scientists used stem cells to regenerate the lens of the eye and restore vision, doctors found a way to do kidney transplants with kidneys from any donor and avoid organ rejection, and a Google AI system beat a human champion at Go, the most complex game ever invented.
