Robot sucks blood from the skull

Stroke or intracranial haemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, the blood leaking out to form a blood clot that puts pressure on the surrounding brain tissue.

It is difficult to treat and the mortality rate for these cases is more than 40%. So a team of American scientists from Vanderbilt University designed a robotic line of work in the brain, both safer and less invasive.

In the past, blood clots had to be removed from the brain to open the skull, which could affect healthy brain tissue and leave undesirable calcifications. That is why doctors have to use more anti-inflammatory drugs with many side effects.

The robot was designed by a team of doctors and engineers led by Robert J. Webb III and Kyle Weaver. The device is a "tube in the tube" , with the outer tube attached to the patient's head and a much smaller size through the patient's skull to reach the blood clot in the brain. The CT scanner will be fully supported so that the inner end of the tube is understood to be aspirating or clotting in the brain to the outside.

Laboratory tests show that the robot has achieved 92% success in removing cloned clots in the brain. Researchers are using ultrasound with CT Scanner along with computer models to continue to find ways to eliminate more blood clots and help support brain tissue deformities due to brain circulatory collapse.
