    摘要: Techniques are provided for the monitoring and transport of an anatomical organ with a sleeve arranged snuggly around the organ and comprising a porous material with respect to an aqueous solution in a container affixed to unmanned aerial vehicle. As a non-limiting example, in a first set of embodiments, the sleeve, shaped to an approximate shape of the target anatomical organ has an opening for inserting the target anatomical organ. The sleeve may comprise a fabric that is porous with respect to an aqueous solution and has a tensile strength to hold the weight of the sleeve and of the target anatomical organ. In other embodiments, the fabric of the sleeve may also include a different second opening for passing a blood vessel for the target anatomical organ. Further, the sleeve may include a wireless communication device and a at least one of a temperature sensor and vibration sensor.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for automatic emergency airway detection. The apparatus includes a frame with a carriage guide configured to be secured around a neck of a subject. A carriage including a sensor is configured to move along the carriage guide. The sensor is configured to measure a value of a parameter indicating a topography of the neck of the subject. A processor includes a memory with instructions to receive first data from the sensor of the value of the parameter as the carriage is moved along the carriage guide and to determine, with the first data, second data indicating a position along the carriage guide corresponding to the cricothyroid region of the neck. The processor subsequently transmits a first signal indicating the second data. A method of using the apparatus is also provided.
