The most challenging part of our group's engineering project so far was compiling sufficient research into studies, tests, and experiments to further understand the field of tourniquets. Specifically, the area we've been having the most trouble with is in learning and entirely understanding the nature of limited occlusion pressure and how studies have determined it. With so much research, endless links, and boundless citations it can be difficult to pinpoint the center of the matter and to truly figure out what we should do. Part of this process has been contacting experts, as although they've responded quickly, it has been tough to gain enough insight from them. This difficulty is seemingly improving however.
I am most proud of the work my team has put into this project and the efficient, determined dynamics we continually show. Striking gold by finding relevant and helpful patents and scientific research has been the most rewarding part of our efforts. Backing up our work with incredibly useful, practically undiscovered data significantly boosts what we're attempting to do and enables the possibility of our creation becoming successful. Discovering the great benefits of estimating AOP as opposed to measuring LOP is an example of the critical fruits of our research that will greatly simply issues and streamline our product development. It has been a long and ambitious process, never without work to be done, and we are excited for what may come of it.
