摘要:
This invention is a self-contained isolation, and environmental protection life support system (10) for shielding a patient contained therein, or alternatively isolating a contaminated patient from a clean environment while allowing treatment of traumatic injuries to the patient. The system comprises the combination of an environmental control system (ECS) (11) and a containment enclosure (14) that are designed to function in concert with conventional life support stretcher. The ECS component possesses an air management system that is designed configured to extract contaminated particles, gas from the external air, and deliver the same to the patient contained within the containment enclosure. To facilitate such delivery, the containment enclosure is preferably provided with a plurality of tubular passages (48) which are designed to be filled with air provided by the ventilator system to thus cause the containment enclosure to expand to form a semi rigid structure. A multiplicity of apertures are formed upon the tubular passages that causes the purified air to pass therethrough, and wash over the patient in a head to toe direction such that rapid removal of toxic residues is facilitated.

This invention is an isolation bag (14) for isolating a casualty from a contaminated environment. The bag (14) is preferably fabricated from a transparent, biochemically resistive material that is specifically designed, and configured to be utilized in combination with a self-contained transportable life support system. The isolation bag (14) is further provided with a plurality of tubular passages (46, 48) which are designed to be filled with air provided by the transportable life support system to thus cause the isolation bag to expand, and form a semi-rigid structure. A multiplicity of apertures (56) are formed upon the tubular passages (46, 48) in such a manner that enables refreshed air to pass therethrough which washes over the patient in a head-to-toe direction such that rapid removal of toxic, and infectious residues are facilitated.

A switching control circuit for use in an electrical power system for a transportable life support system is disclosed. The switching control circuit (114) provides uninterrupted power to a load of medical, and utility devices by switching between one of a set of converted external power voltages (99) and an internal power voltage outputted by a rechargeable internal power source (112). The power switching is effected within the time interval during which a residual voltage still remains on line due to capacitance discharge of the main bus (8) resulting in uninterrupted electrical power to the load.

A transportable life support system (10) for providing medical care to a patient while transporting the patient from one location to another has a platform configured to receive the patient, a plurality of medical devices (14a-14f) attached to the platform for providing medical monitoring and medical therapy to the patient, and a control and display panel (16) comprising controls and displays for the medical devices. The control and display panel provide a centralized location for monitoring and controlling the medical devices so as to mitigate a need for an operator to move about the platform in order to individually observe a display for each medical device and to individually control each medical device.

There is provided a central control network for a patient care and treatment device comprising data and power networks with data and power ports, respectively. A power receiver is in electrical communication with the power network and receives power from a power source. A control unit is in electrical communication with the data and power networks and transmits operational instructions along the data network. The device additionally comprises at least one medical module including a medical device capable of performing discrete medical functionality. The module further includes data and power connectors connectable to the data and power ports, respectively. A data adapter is in electrical communication with the data connector and the medical device and translates communications between the data network and the medical device. A power adapter receives power from the power network via the power connector and converts the power according to the medical device power requirements.
