Current Solutions

Here is a brief list of the current solutions we are currently considering:

1. Photoacoustics

2. Could be noninvasive, however most likely not feasible given budget, expertise, and time.

3. Could be minimally invasive if we used an endotracheal tube of some sort.

4. Would use Ficks Principle so it would be extremely accurate and novel.

5. Cool technology.

6. Huge learning cool and potentially not feasible still given budget, expertise, and time.

1. Improving Doppler Ultrasound

2. Using 3D ultrasound techniques

3. Would involve a sweeping probe of some sorts.

4. New method for obtaining data.

5. New method for processing data.

6. Most technology stays teh same except the probe head.

7. For the most part seems feasible, but probably less marketable and novel.

8. Need to obtain current probe used for doppler ultrasound and data from this new sweeping probe.

1. Double Monitoring System

2. Would use same technology as photoacoustics.

3. Measure mixed venous oxygen saturation using minimally invasive intubation tube. This would allow for the more accurate measurement.

4. Measures central venoux oxygen saturation noninvasively. This would allow for the measurement to be obtained easily.

5. Still would have all the cons of photoacoustics.

6. Cool idea because it would allow clinician to have best accuracy or least invasiveness depending on the situation at hand.
