Rescue astronauts in the universe

Astronauts in space face many problems such as broken bones, blood clots or radiation.

If urgent medical problems arise in the journey to Mars such as broken bones or blood clots, astronauts must be quick to handle the situation with limited equipment on the spacecraft, according to Seeker. This is a difficult task even for experienced doctors.

When flying to Mars, even doctors can get sick during the trip. Komorowski supports a number of ways to deal with a similar situation. First, astronauts must be trained in basic medical skills at a basic level. Second, the system of help and medical advice from the Earth must constantly guide.

In addition, the crew can use medical equipment made with 3D printing technology. If the crew is the same blood type, it will be easier for blood transfusions at the time of need, and the appropriate blood type will always be available to everyone.

"In long flights, the risk of serious medical problems and surgery can take away the crew's life. The exposure to the space environment disturbs most physiological systems in the body. , triggers many special diseases such as cardiovascular failure, acute radioactive syndrome, osteoporosis and fractures, diseases due to pressure drop , " Matthieu Komorowski, an intensive care and anesthesia consultant at Charing Cross Hospital, London, England, said.

"During a future space exploration trip, astronauts must be prepared to deal with incurable or irreparable illnesses beyond their ability to treat , " Komorowski said.
