Russian Women's Experience Of Friendship: Examining The Application Of American Theories, Elisaveta N. Dukhovskaya

Pulmonary Metaphor Design And Anesthesia Simulation Testing, S. Blake Wachter, James Agutter, Noah D. Syroid, Frank A. Drews, Robert Albers, David Strayer, Dwayne R. Westenskow

Utah Space Grant Consortium

Medical decision making is a crucial process to successfully treat a critical medical emergency. During an unexpected medical event, astronauts, like anesthesiologists, must react quickly in a complex environment. Tools, such as the pulmonary metaphor display, were created to aid the medical caregiver's decision making process. The pulmonary metaphor display is designed to help the caregiver collect and integrate pulmonary data to provide a more accurate, quicker diagnosis and treatment. The following outline anesthesiology simulation study will provide the data to prove that the pulmonary metaphor display is beneficial to medical decision making.

Evaluation Of A Graphical Anesthesia Drug Display For Space Travel, Robert W. Albert, Frank A. Drews, Noah D. Syroid, Dwayne R. Westenskow, David L. Strayer, James A. Agutter

Utah Space Grant Consortium

As the frequency and duration of space travel increase, the potential need for emergency medical care in space grows, and with it the need for patient monitoring devices supporting therapeutic treatment. Providing emergency care to an injured astronaut may necessitate immediate surgery. During such events, the timely administration of anesthetic agents will need to be performed by someone who is not a formally trained anesthesiologist. The availability of usable real-time displays of intravenous anesthetic concentrations and effects could significantly enhance intraoperative clinical decision-making both in space and on earth. The effectiveness of the real-time anesthesia display on the management of …
