1.1 | 22 | Trauma on exploration class missions to Mars is considered one of the most important risks to mission and crew. Non- |
| 23 | invasive diagnostic tools such as ultrasonography are an important diagnostic part when attempting to identify | ||
| 24 | potentially life-threatening injuries to the thorax and abdomen. | ||
| 25 | Although it is expected that a crewed mission to Mars will have at least one trained medical professional, this might | ||
| 26 | not always be the case. There is also always a significant risk that the crew medical officer will be the one who is sick | ||
| 27 | or injured. Thus, the exam may need to be executed by individuals with minimal medical training. Also, at the time it | ||
| 28 | is needed, that training may be on an estimate 2 – 3 years old. | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | The VFR-eFAST experiment aims to investigate the feasibility of having non-medical personnel, | ||
| 31 | in this case, analog astronauts, perform a focused ultrasonography of the abdomen and thorax. | ||
| 32 | In order to properly simulate the time training and performing the ultrasonography, the analog | ||
| 33 | astronauts are not to be prepared at all before conducting the experiment. | ||
| 34 | The experiment will start with an approx. 20-minute instructional video on how to set up the | ||
| 35 | ultrasonography, how to handle the probes, and how to perform the examination. The analog | ||
| 36 | astronauts will then independently complete the exam on a live test subject and send the | ||
| 37 | required views back to the MSC. The images will then be rated independently based on quality | ||
| 38 | by experienced radiologists. | ||
