Abstract

In trauma cases, the often immediate (and necessary) requirement is to stop uncontrolled bleeding; indeed, in combat, more than 50% of deaths result from exsanguination. With the development of ultrasound image-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) devices, “Acoustic Hemostasis” is not only possible but has the ability to terminate uncontrolled bleeding as well as for many applications of considerable benefit to medicine. In this lecture, various technology development devices and methodologies will be described that have the potential for commercial development for a wide variety of medical indications.
