I'm one of my very first clinical rotations I help to take care of survivors in the Boston Marathon bombings by then we were seeing a thin silver lining everybody who survived the initial blast survived thanks to getting care within the critical golden hour but globally this is astronomically rare each year 18 million people die from conditions that surgery could have fixed postpartum bleeding injuries hernias and the deaths and disability from lack of safe surgery is set to cost the world 20 trillion dollars by the year 2030 even when surgeries are available conditions and field hospitals
have such high infection rates that nobody whether Kenyan hospitals or the US military can actually safely do things like fix broken limbs and it's no surprise when teams are fighting dust and flies getting into wounds as they're operating but safe operating spaces are incredibly infrastructure heavy they require safety electrical grids ventilation systems long term skilled maintenance but what if instead of sterilizing an entire room we can just protect the patient we can seal a clear bubble against the patient's skin with the team's operating through ports which also protects the providers from the blood splashes that
infect 85,000 providers every single year the clear plastic bubble is protected by a filter laminate airflow system that is beyond state-of-the-art and everything runs off of battery skin components that fit inside a literal backpack by shifting our perspective a little we can bring safe surgery within the Golden Hour anytime and anyplace that is needed thank you [Applause] [Music]
