ew Delhi, Aug 29 (PTI) Researchers at All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) have developed a novel device to administer intravenous drugs directly into the bone marrow in case of medical emergencies like heart attacks, trauma injuries and dehydration
The device - IntraOz - would help treat patients in whom doctors are unable to locate a vein to administer intravenous (IV) medicines
"The vein through which IV medicines are given is untraceable in patients who have suffered cardiac arrest, trauma injuries, dehydration.In such cases, using IntraOz, we can directly inject the medicine into the long bones," Jayant Karve of the Stanford India Biodesign Centre at AIIMS said
Karve along with his colleague Srinivas Kiran Jaggu were conferred the India Innovation Pioneers Challenge (IIPC) Award 2009 in the Scholar Sparks category.
