Add to ORKGFinal report and team photo for Project 17 of ME450, Winter 2009 semesterAt the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana, exchange transfusions are performed manually in the Mother Baby Unit (MBU). Currently, these transfusions take multiple hours to perform. Because an automated process is absent, a doctor or nurse must be present throughout the entire transfusion to constantly turn valves and administer or remove blood from syringes. A low-cost, easy to operate, automated exchange transfusion device is essential in order to increase the number of available human resources in the MBU, thus providing doctors and nurses with more time to care for other patients.Kathleen Sienko (Mechanical Engineering, U of M); Mentors: John Adabie...
