'Smart' needles used for administration of anaesthesia

  Patient safety is the key concern in the development of a ‘smart’ needle to be used for the administration of anaesthesia. By providing the administering clinician with electrical impedance data from different tissue types, they will be able to identify the needle’s real-time location and delivery point. This is crucial to ensure that the agent is not administered to nerve bundles, which could cause long-term or permanent nerve injury. The research project was initiated when Dr Brian ...

Flood relief scheme to protect Bandon from future disaster

Flood relief scheme to protect Bandon from future disaster

Following the major flooding of Bandon town in November 2009, the Office of Public Works (OPW) began investigating the feasibility of developing a flood relief scheme to protect Bandon. The 2009 floods had damaged or affected 190 business properties in Bandon and resulted in approximately €140 million in insurance claims across Co Cork. During November 2009, Bandon had received approximately 20% of the total annual rainfall for 2009, resulting in significantly elevated levels in the local ...
