Erica Frenkel The universal anesthesia machine

Until anesthesia, the absence of sensation.

Anesthesia gave surgeons the freedom to operate.

In this hospital, there is one person qualified to deliver anesthesia, and she's qualified because she has 12, maybe 18 months of training in anesthesia.

This was done under local anesthesia, as an outpatient.

The second time was a procedure that involved local anesthesia.

In the background there is a very sophisticated anesthesia machine.

35 million surgeries are attempted every year without safe anesthesia.

It's just a reality of anesthesia. The lungs can be paralyzed.

They have a really cool anesthesia simulation lab out in Baltimore.

So I've talked a lot about anesthesia, and I tend to do that.

They say, Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16.

It's practiced, it's no anesthesia, it's a rusty old knife, and it was difficult.

What if you're in surgery and the power goes out? No lights, no oxygen and your anesthesia stops flowing. It happens constantly in hospitals throughout the world, turning routine procedures into tragedies. Erica Frenkel demos one solution the universal anesthesia machine.

And actually, it's the model that we expect to work for delivering anesthesia in these environments.

Well we have a whole O.R. team, general anesthesia, nurses, and another doctor across from me.

It takes about an hour and a half to two hours, depending on where it's done, under general anesthesia.

But what is exactly that stuff that we lose under anesthesia, or when we are in deep, dreamless sleep?

And, so, very quickly, Bob can just get one puncture, local anesthesia, and do this harvest as an outpatient.

There's Block 17, house number one.

I came to the Heart Institute in 2006, as part of my elective in my anesthesia and intensive care program.

Block II contains the Block I improvements and adds the alternate high pressure fuel turbopump and the large throat main combustion chamber.
