A system for providing information in emergency situations. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system primarily designed to alert emergency medical personnel of legal documents that pertain to rendering aid in situations where time is of the essence, for example, living wills and do not resuscitate orders. The system can employ two methods for establishing a patient's identification, transponder scan (2) or retina/iris scan (24). Once the patient identification is determined, information is transmitted from an information database (14) to a local device (6) employed by emergency medical personnel. Based on the information contained in the files of the patient, the emergency medical personel make a decision on whether to continue rendering resuscitation or artificial sustenance of the patient. In a scenario where the signal from the local device (6) is rendered weak, for any number of reasons, a repeater transmitter (20) can be located in the emergency vehicle, or at some nearby location. |
