Q: (Initially posted on February 11, 2003) FROM MENTEE SHANNON
L. IN NJ
In my class on every Friday, we work on a project for TSA
technology
Student Association. We are to come up with a problem in the
medical field
that we can come up with a solution to the problem. Originally
my group was
going to make a new stretcher design but because we cannot
get a stretcher
to work on, we have decided that it might not work. I have
thought about
this: When one breaks their arm, after it is set doctors put
you in a soft
cast before a hard Cast. If we can get 3 blood pressure cuffs
and place
them in a row to help us design a new soft cast. As the swelling
goes down
on your arm or the pain increases, you can pump the new cast
up to lessen
the pain and it still will be immobilized at the same time.
If you have any
suggestion or comments on how u think I should do this please
let me know.
The deadline for TSA completion is in early march, which does
not give us
much time.
