摘要

A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERMITTING MEDICAL PERSONNEL TO ATTEND TO A PATIENT SITUATED IN A HAZARDOUS LOCATION REMOTE THEREFROM The present invention is directed to an apparatus for permitting medical personnel to attend to an injured individual situated in a hazardous area from a remote location. The apparatus includes a first end adapted to be located at a position remote from the injured individual and a second end adapted to be located at a position adjacent the individual. The first end includes a first connector for connecting a health aid storage unit and a monitoring unit to the first end. The second end includes a second connector for connecting a health aid administering unit and a sensor unit to the second end. A corrugated tubular member extends from the first end to the second end and includes first and second transmitting lines. The first transmitting line transmits a health aid from the health aid storage unit to the health aid administering unit. The second transmission line transmits a signal from a sensor unit to a monitoring unit indicating at least one physiological condition of the patient.
