Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 171 [New Technology: Smart Medical Operating Table]

After the Spring Festival, Xiao Yu did not pay attention to the trends in the capital market. The layout of the Linzhou Skytrain Project had been finalized and the specific matters had been handed over to Chen Zaiqing, so he was able to free up time to work on another black technology.

Wednesday, February 2st, Curry in the basement of the villa residence.

Multiple holographic floating display panels appeared around Xiao Yu. During this time, Xiao Yu was working on one thing - a smart medical operating table.

"Fortunately, it's not too difficult to integrate the medical equipment technology of the Blue Star world." Xiao Yu looked at the holographic model of a medical operating table that he had built in front of him and was quite satisfied with it.

While debugging, Xiao Yu talked to himself to relieve his boredom: "To reduce the price of single-organ cloning technology transplant surgery to 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, it won't work without this thing..."

The in vitro cultivation of single-organ cloning technology actually doesn't cost much, but the in vitro cultivation equipment costs more.

But as long as the cultivation equipment is ready, the cultivation of the individual organ itself mainly consumes the nutrients required for metabolism, and the cost may even be only a few hundred yuan.

However, the price of transplant surgery has dropped to the point where the cost target is only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, which means that the number of patients undergoing transplant surgery will increase exponentially in the future.

This poses a huge problem: there are absolutely not enough surgeons.

Moreover, transplant surgery consumes a lot of the doctor's physical strength. For example, it is common for a liver transplant surgery to last more than ten hours.

In other words, even if the cost of single-organ cloning is extremely low, if there is a shortage of doctors to perform the surgery, the cost of the surgery will still be extremely high. Xiao Yu's goal of reducing the total cost of an organ transplant surgery to 30,000 to 50,000 yuan so that ordinary people can afford it will not be achieved.

However, there is a solution to this problem. The advanced medical equipment technology level in the Blue Star world has long achieved intelligent and unmanned operation.

The solution is the "intelligent medical operating table" that Xiao Yu is currently integrating. It can replace surgeons and perform surgery on patients. No human intervention is required throughout the process, and the entire surgery is completed by a surgical robot.

The surgical robot relies on the operating table and is composed of several robotic arms with different functions. Its biggest advantage is that the flexible robotic arms can turn at all angles, and can magnify the image dozens or even hundreds of times through the lens, clearly capturing the status of the affected area and blood vessel nerve bundles.

Whether it is the field of view angle, flexibility of the robotic arm, range of motion, etc., surgical robots are a qualitative leap compared to traditional manual surgery.

It also has an automatic filtering function that far exceeds the limit of human hand vibration, making it easier to handle "blind spots" in the body.

It may take more than ten years to train an excellent surgeon, but once the technology of smart medical operating tables is finalized, they can be mass-produced on industrial assembly lines, and as many as desired can be produced.

In this way, the problem of insufficient supply of surgical doctors caused by the exponential increase in surgical demand can be effectively solved. The goal of reducing the overall surgical cost to 30,000 yuan will no longer be an unattainable luxury, but can be truly realized, achieving the goal of making surgical costs affordable for the vast majority of people.

At this moment, the holographic model intelligent operating table constructed by Xiao Yu has an overall simple and technological appearance, with smooth lines. The main structure is made of solid composite material, and the surface has been specially treated to give it a texture that is relevant and subtly reflective.

The shape of the operating table is similar to a large, flat capsule, with a slightly raised middle part and gradually narrowing at both ends, giving it a futuristic, sci-fi feel.

In addition, the operating table is surrounded by various sophisticated instruments and display screens. Holographic technology has not yet been developed on Earth, so it is naturally equipped with display screens. These instruments and equipment have different shapes, some are mechanical arm surgical robots of different sizes and functions, and some are complex sensor arrays.

The display screen is presented in a very simple geometric shape, either rectangular or circular, and will show various data and images to provide all-round information support for surgery.

In addition, there are some transparent protective covers on the edge of the operating table, which can prevent blood, body fluids, etc. from splashing during the operation, and also play a certain isolation role.

As an intelligent operating table, it undoubtedly has highly intelligent automation functions and can independently complete a series of complex surgical operations from anesthesia, incision, removal, transplantation, suturing, etc.

The participation of a medical staff is also required during the process. In some scenarios, the surgical robot cannot make real-time judgments based on the patient's physiological changes during the operation, and medical staff are required to make some adjustments based on actual judgments and decisions.

But it only needs one person, instead of a group of people like current surgical operations, and it only needs medical staff who have medical knowledge, and there is no need for them to do it themselves. The difficulty of training such talents is greatly reduced, and even nurses can assume their functions.

The main task of medical staff is to enable the operating table to automatically execute the corresponding surgical procedures through simple voice commands or touch operations, and to perform precise operations on the patient's body without the need for human intervention.

The operating table is equipped with an advanced positioning system and high-precision cutting tools. The positioning system can accurately lock the position of the patient with a very small error range to ensure the accuracy of the operation. The cutting tools can quickly and accurately cut the skin, muscles and other tissues without damaging the surrounding normal tissues.

During the operation, various instruments on the operating table will monitor the patient's vital signs in real time, such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, etc., and transmit the data to the display screen in real time.

At the same time, the operating table also has powerful data analysis capabilities, and can automatically adjust surgical parameters such as anesthesia depth, cutting force, etc. according to the monitored data, assisting the medical staff responsible for monitoring nearby to make better judgments and decisions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.

After the operation is completed, the operating table also has certain postoperative recovery assistance functions. It will automatically disinfect the wound to prevent infection. It will also adjust the appropriate suturing method and strength according to the condition of the wound to promote wound healing.

Intelligent interaction is also the core technical highlight of this operating table. The operating table supports voice control function, and patients or medical staff can operate various operations of the operating table through simple voice commands.

Such as starting surgical procedures, adjusting surgical parameters, etc., this interactive method is not only convenient, fast and efficient, but also can reduce the interference of human operation during the operation and improve the safety of the operation.

In addition to voice interaction, the operating table developed by Xiao Yu is also equipped with a touch screen operating interface that displays various functional options and parameter settings. The touch screen can be used to select surgical modes, input patient information, adjust surgical parameters, etc.

The UI design is simple and intuitive, easy to operate, and even non-professional medical personnel can get started quickly.

Obviously, Xiao Yu’s biggest purpose in developing this smart operating table is to reduce dependence on professional medical personnel, because the cost of training such talents is high, especially the time cost is too high.

Therefore, the smart operating table must be made simple and easy to use, so that even an ordinary nurse can quickly get started and use this operating table to start the surgical process for the patient.

Only in this way can we solve the problem of the exponentially increasing demand for surgery that will occur when the price of transplant surgery drops to 30,000 to 50,000 yuan after the single-organ cloning technology is introduced.
