EMERGENCY MONITOR-DEFIBRILLATOR WITH TELEMEDICINE CAPABILITY

摘要

In embodiments, an emergency external defibrillator system is configured for use by a local rescuer in cooperation with a remote rescuer to assist a patient. The external defibrillator system includes a sensor to generate a patient value that represents a physiological parameter of the patient. The system also includes a communication module to transmit the patient value to another device of a remote rescuer, and to receive in response an incoming message that contains an encoded sound. For the local rescuer, the system also includes a screen to display the patient value, and a speaker to play the sound concurrently with the screen displaying the patient value. An advantage is that the local rescuer can receive guidance from the remote rescuer.

1. An external defibrillator system configured for use by a local rescuer in cooperation with a remote rescuer to assist a patient, the local rescuer capable of carrying the external defibrillator system and of attaching electrodes to the patient, the external defibrillator system comprising:
an energy storage module configured to store an electrical charge; a defibrillation port configured such that the electrodes can be electrically coupled to the defibrillation port by the local rescuer, the defibrillation port further configured such that the stored electrical charge can be guided through the defibrillation port and through the coupled electrodes to the patient; a sensor configured to measure a physiological parameter of the patient, and to generate a patient value in response to the measured physiological parameter; a communication module configured to transmit the patient value to another device via a communication network for use by the remote rescuer, the communication module further configured to receive from the communication network an incoming message, the incoming message generated by the remote rescuer responsive to perceiving the patient value from the other device, the incoming message containing an encoded sound; a screen configured to display the patient value to the local rescuer; and a speaker configured to play the sound to the local rescuer, concurrently with the screen displaying the patient value.
