DRAMATIC MEDICAL DRONE DELIVERY OF ORGAN!

• The need for speed when transporting medical
  supplies should never be underestimated medical
  supplies need to be as fresh as possible and
  often need to arrive at the scene in a matter of
  minutes for a patients life to be saved. Drones
  are increasingly being used for delivering
  products not exceeding a certain weight, and
  there were dramatic scenes recently in the U.S.
  state of Maryland when a drone was used to
  deliver a kidney from one neighbourhood of
  Baltimore to another.

• Drone delivers kidney to hospital
• Drones have been used to deliver organs in many
  cases over the years, but this delivery was
  particularly dramatic, as a kidney winged its way
  via a custom unmanned aviation system designed by
  physicians, researchers, aviation and engineering
  experts, to a nearby hospital. The kidney was
  transplanted into a 44-year-old lady who had been
  receiving dialysis treatment for the past 8
  years, and who was subsequently deemed fit to
  leave hospital and begin leading her life, free
  from the constrictions of dialysis. This was, in
  fact, the very first drone delivery of an organ
  that was successfully transplanted into a
  patient, and there are hopes that this will be
  the first of many more to come.

• Why have previous drone deliveries of organs
  failed?
• The primary reason for such organ delivery
  missions failing in the past, is down to time
  constraints, with almost 3,000 kidneys having to
  be discarded every year in the U.S. alone because
  they simply dont reach the patient in time. This
  is huge, and the sad impact of this failure is
  that those patients waiting for organs, die.

• Who made this delivery happen?
• Experts in the field of aviation and engineering,
  along with transplant physicians, researchers at
  the University of Maryland School of Medicine in
  Baltimore, and the non-profit Living Legacy
  Foundation of Maryland, united to help make the
  historic and ground-breaking flight happen. The
  FAA also had to cooperate with the team and agree
  to allow the flight to happen, which was
  certainly not a given, considering the strict
  laws in place about flying drones over American
  cities. Thankfully, due to the nature of the
  mission, it was hard for anyone to disagree to
  the proposal, including the FAA.

• How are organs usually delivered?
• Donor organs are usually taken by airplane to
  their destination a charter or commercial
  flight depending upon the situation but
  logistically speaking, this can often prove to be
  a nightmare, and once the organ reaches its
  destination, it often gets left behind and never
  gets to the intended hospital in time. Research
  has shown that donor organs once in transit,
  dont make it to their intended destination for
  up to 2 of the time, and 4 of shipments
  experience significant delays of up to 2 hours.
  While this may not sound like much, when it comes
  to organs for transplant, every minute really
  does count and lives depend upon the speed at
  which the organ can be delivered.

• In comparison to these delays, the flight of the
  drone carrying the kidney in this case took a
  mere 5 minutes to reach the destination and went
  directly from donor to the hospital.
• With the success of this organ delivery by drone,
  the future looks bright for patients waiting for
  life-saving organ transplants, and many lives
  could quite literally be saved.
