They threaded the other end of the tube through a vein in his groin, and hooked the tube up to a heart-bypass machine, which provided suction. Next, they inserted a tube through an artery in his neck and into the heart, with the end pressed against the clot. It consists of a tube with an expandable, funnel-shaped tip that can be inserted into a blood vessel in the neck or near the groin.ĭuring Dunlap’s procedure, surgeons first fed a small camera down his throat to monitor his heart. The AngioVac device, manufactured by Vortex Inc., is designed to remove these types of large blood clots-as well as tumors or foreign material-from blood vessels. More than a potential record-setter, this type of clot can break free from the walls of the blood vessel and get stuck in the lungs (a pulmonary embolism), cutting off the supply of oxygen and killing the patient immediately. During a CT scan, doctors discovered the blood clot, which stretched from the man’s leg into his heart.
I'm glad to see Tripwire introducing some customization to character progression, considering how many 500-plus hour Killing Floor players there seem to be.The patient, Todd Dunlap, 62, showed up at the ER in August complaining of tiredness, shortness of breath, and extreme cold. For one Support tier, for example, you might pick between having 25% more carrying capacity or dealing 10% more damage with Support-specific weapons like shotguns. Every five levels of perk progression, you have to pick one of two potential skills. Outside of the gore system, Tripwire showed off a new aspect of the perks system: perk skills. Crouching and firing the double-barrel shotgun kicked a Clot skyward like a punted football, while the mag-fed AA-12 shotgun cut through enemies more cleanly with chunky, rapid fire. Already I'm imagining a front-line melee player, who's mastered the technique, stopping a Fleshpound (which Tripwire said will be blockable) in its tracks so his teammates can get in some easy shots.Īnother detail I liked: the knockback force varied noticeably between shotguns. You can also hold block (to reduce, but not fully eliminate melee damage) or try to time a block perfectly against an oncoming melee attack to briefly stagger that enemy. The katana's heavy, horizontal slash is one of the most impressive real-time animations I've seen in a game: I watched the sword effortlessly tear the entire upper body off a Clot, sending it across the room while the legs stood frozen in place. Left mouse is light attack, and right mouse is heavy, but more importantly the direction you're moving at the time you attack on WASD dictates the motion of your attack.
Tripwire only had a katana to show (and mentioned a sledgehammer), but rather than the sword operating as a one-dimensional weapon, there's a surprising amount of nuance. Most significant, though, are the changes made to melee.
