Desenvolvimento de dispositivo para transporte e preservação de membros humanos avulsionados por trauma

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a portable device for the thermal storage and transport of human limbs avused due to trauma. The proposal considered fundamental aspects such a safety, ergonomics, and thermal efficiency, seekin to achieve controlled temperatures within a predefined time range. The research was applied in nature, with a qualitative and quantitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach, literature reviewswere conducted, along with the development of a proof of concept and modeling of the thermal transfer systems, refrigerantcirculation, and mechanical structure, focusing on resistance,m durbility, and field use. The adopted solutions were evaluated through computational simulations. The results indicated that the project objectives were achieved, ensuring that the device meets the requirements for the safe transport of amputated limbs. Therefore, its use represents a significant advancement in the standardization and safety of pre-hospital trauma care.
