Drones stage first aid "life and death speed"

The South China Hospital affiliated to Shenzhen University took the lead in carrying out the simulation test of unmanned aerial vehicle emergency intelligent rescue.

"Emergency Department of South China Hospital! In a basketball court in Pinghu Street, someone fell unconscious, had no breathing, and needed emergency rescue. It is the morning rush hour of travel, the arrival of ambulances may take half an hour, the surrounding area is not equipped with AED, can you use drones to carry smart first aid kits for rescue?"

"The emergency department of South China Hospital received it and immediately sent drones and ambulances to it!" With the sound of the ambulance's emergency whistle, a drone carrying smart glasses and emergency equipment such as AEDs took off in the square of South China Hospital; in just 10 minutes, the drone arrived at the established position of the call for help. The rescue passerby quickly removed the first aid kit, put on the smart glasses, and successfully performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the patient under the guidance of the emergency doctor through real-time visual communication with the emergency command center of South China Hospital, and operated AED for rescue. An ambulance that then arrives transports the comatose patient to the hospital for the next step of treatment.

This is a unique simulation test carried out by South China Hospital Affiliated to Shenzhen University in cooperation with local drone companies in Shenzhen in exploring new UAV first aid schemes and integrated emergency modes of air-land integration, and for sudden cardiac arrest scenarios.

"As an emergency department doctor, the most anxious thing is that when following the 120 ambulance out of the car, it is blocked on the road, unable to quickly arrive at the scene, unable to know the patient's situation, and unable to treat the patient in time." If there is a drone that flies quickly through the air barrier-free, brings smart glasses to the scene, gives the doctor a pair of clairvoyant eyes, brings the emergency equipment to the scene, and gives the doctor a good helper, it will greatly increase the probability of patients getting effective treatment in the fastest time. Zhang Xiaoming, director of the emergency department of South China Hospital affiliated to Shenzhen University, said, "This is the future emergency scene we imagined, and now it has become a reality, which makes us feel very excited." ”

The UAV emergency smart rescue simulation test uses the advantages of the UAV can not be affected by road traffic conditions for high-speed flight, combined with the on-site perception platform of smart glasses, and strives to achieve the first time to let patients who need to be rescued get professional doctors remote on-site assessment and command rescue, to achieve the purpose of "early arrival, early diagnosis and treatment" of the UAV, and win time and improve efficiency for the rescue of cardiac arrest patients.

Wu Song, president of the South China Hospital Affiliated to Shenzhen University, said that the next step will be to try to expand the scope of the UAV emergency intelligent rescue test to the treatment of patients with trauma, asthma, poisoning, chest pain, pregnancy and other patients, through the integration of their own clinical and scientific research resources as a hospital directly affiliated to the university, joint local UAV enterprises, comprehensively around the UAV rescue to carry out medical production, education and research cooperation, and strive to develop a number of medical drones and supporting products that can be applied to medical services and disaster medicine. Make every effort to build a medical UAV innovation research and development and verification platform, and strengthen and expand the wider application of UAVs in medical rescue scenarios.
