| 520 | |a "The problem addressed in this article arrived in the form of a challenge from a national laboratory: Can you solve the problem of inserting an intervenous (IV) needle in a critically injured patient at night? This issue had been an active area of research but seemed intractable to the many approaches attempted. An obvious approach was to use a light source such as a flashlight to highlight the vasculature of the patient so that the emergency medical technician (EMT) might see and therefore access a patient's vein. However, that approach had been tried and shown not to be feasible by researchers with a great deal of experience in the field of biomedical optics.1 Fortunately, that work was unknown to us, and so we plunged ahead with the only optical equipment available: a pair of military night vision goggles as the detector and a television remote control as the light source. To our surprise, we were able to see veins when the remote control was pointed at our forearms"--Description at Knovel website. | ||
