    摘要: The invention provides a method of transferring patient specific data (PSD) between a first location and a second location, and a corresponding system for doing the same. The first location may be on board an emergency medical services (EMS) vehicle and the second location may be a treatment site for the patient, such as a hospital. The method comprises collecting the patient specific data (PSD) from a patient in the first location with an electronic monitoring system (16) associated with a gas cylinder system (14) at the first location. The electronic monitoring system is further operable to monitor cylinder specific data (CSD) associated with the cylinder system. The patient specific data (PSD) is then transmitted from the electronic monitoring system (16), optionally along with the cylinder specific data (CSD), via an electronic communication channel (12) to a computer system (20) at the second location. Thus errors in transferring the patient specific data (PSD) from the first location to the second location which might otherwise from human error during a manual input of such data to the computer system (20) may be avoided. The PSD, and optionally the CSD, may be transmitted from the electronic monitoring system (16) to the computer system (20) in one of several ways. Thus the electronic communication channel (12) may comprise a high-powered transceiver, a cloud computing system and/or a handheld electronic device operating a wireless near-field communication protocol, for example.
