You walk you walk through the doors of a top-tier globally recognized research hospital you're there to be treated using the absolute pinnacle of cutting edge technology the best of the best right you are wheeled into a pristine operating room the overhead lights are blinding the stainless steel surfaces are gleaming and positioned right above the surgical table is this highly advanced multimillion dollar robotic surgical apparatus or maybe a really complex life-saving endoscope exactly visually it looks like a triumph science fiction but we are looking at research suggesting that this incredibly advanced robotic tool might be secretly wearing a microscopic functionally invincible coat of armor it's a striking juxtaposition honestly I mean we are applying the most mechanically sophisticated medical technology and human history simultaneously we are uniquely vulnerable to some of the oldest most rudimentary organisms on the planet to think about it is because the engineering of the tools themselves is actually actively complicating our ability to keep the microbiological safe we are analyzing a massive stack of material we got dense peer reviewed medical journals world health organization decontamination protocols WHO guidelines are incredibly detailed on this by the way they really are and we also have infection control hazard reports plus the actual engineering schematics of modern surgical tools so we have a lot of ground to cover our mission for this deep dive is to understand a very specific really high stakes intersection in modern medicine we are looking at how the incredibly complex physical design of our new medical devices is violently colliding with the rise of antimicrobial resistance and of course the rapid evolution of bugs and we are beyond simply the alarming statistics associated with hospital acquired infections right yeah we have to look at the mechanics behind those numbers we really need to examine the YY is scary it is why establish cleaning protocols failing in central sterile supply departments why are these specific organism surviving the absolute most aggressive chemical disinfectant on the market and navigate this we essentially have to deconstructed rebuild our understanding of what the word actually means in a clinical setting which is a lot harder than it sounds so for you listening right now the goal here is that by the end of this deep dive your perspective on everyday hygiene and medical safety will fundamentally shift you'll definitely never look at things the same way seriously you will look at a bottle of hand sanitizer a basic hospital stethoscope or you know a complex robotic surgical arm through a comple contextualize that figure a death toll of 10 million would actually surpass the current annual global mortality rate for all forms of cancer combined forms of cancer combined and the sources detail that the impact extends far beyond the mortality rate absolutely when a bacterial strain acquires resistance it transforms the entire life cycletely different lens well to accurately frame the systemic threat within our healthcare Facil is we really must first find the scale of the antimicrobial resistance crisis the AMR crisis because this isn't just a localized issue or some minor hurdle and pharmaceutical development it is actually categorize is one of the primary global public health threats facing humanity which is a huge statement it is but the organisms we rely on standard medicine to defeat are adapting faster than we can synthesize new counter measures and aggregate data in the world health organization reports currently drug resistant infections are responsible for an estimated 700,000 deaths annually across the globe that baseline figure alone represents a massive quiet pandemic operating right in the background of
