Surgeons perpetually
fear risking
the life of the
patient they keep
under anaesthesia.
Deciding on the
exact dosages of the
drugs required
bothers many of
them. The problem
has been resolved by
a team of scientists in the UK
(New Scientist, Vol
148, No 2005).
Researchers at the
Royal
Adelaide Hospital
have developed a
computer-driven
syringe that delivers the right
amount of drug into
the patient's body
while the surgeons operate upon
him. The software matches the
delivery rate of
drugs with the
amount that the
body can withstand.
