摘要:
A defibrillator having infrared communication capability is provided. The wireless communications capability is implemented using infrared light or RF communications and standardized communications protocols such as the IrDA protocol to allow for ready communication between defibrillators such as during handoffs of patient along the Chain of Survival. The wireless communications network also allows for communications between a defibrillator and a host computer such as a palmtop for incident report generation after each handoff. Another embodiment of the present invention provides for a defibrillator having an infrared mode switch to allow for restricted access to advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) features of the defibrillator. A further embodiment of the present invention provides for a defibrillator having a remote training mode that is implemented via wireless communications. Another embodiment of the present invention provides for a defibrillator test system that is implemented via wireless communications. A further embodiment of the present invention provides for a live ECG telemetry data link using the wireless communications system.
摘要:
A dual-mode defibrillator has ECG electrodes connected to an ECG front end for producing signals for the controller to use in determining the defibrillator operation in accordance with the manual and automatic procedures stored in a memory. The controller provides appropriate signals to the high voltage delivery system which when energized, applies defibrillation energy to the electrodes.

摘要:
A defibrillator having separable AED and manual modes of operation is provided. The user interface of the defibrillator comprises a set of AED buttons for implementing the AED personality of step 1, step 2, and step 3, along with the associated audio and visual prompts. In order to maintain the logical and physical separation of the AED and manual personalities, a manual access button is located underneath an access door on the top surface of the defibrillator. With the access door in the open position, the manual access button may be pressed to place the defibrillator in manual mode so that it may be operated according to the manual personality. Instructions for the operation of the defibrillator according to the manual personality may be provided on the underside of the access door to avoid confusion to the first responder who has no need to see these instructions.

摘要:
A vector method for monitoring a subject's sleep-disordered breathing utilizing a single, anatomy-attached (anatomically outside or implanted inside), three-orthogonal-axis accelerometer(s), including the steps of (1) collecting from a sleeping subject three-orthogonal-axis data relating to at least one of sound data, subject posture, subject activity, snoring, and respiration, and (2) following such collecting, processing and analyzing collected data to detect associated, disordered breathing including assessing the presence of at least one of (a) sleep-disordered breathing generally, (b) sleep apnea specifically, and (c) differentiation between central and obstructive sleep apnea. Further involved is the acquiring of ECG data, and that the mentioned processing and analyzing include recognition of such acquired ECG data.
摘要:
A method utilizing computer processing for detecting, within a cardiac cycle, the earliest onset of global, Q-onset, ventricular depolarization in the presence of an operating pacemaker. The method, in general terms, features (a) gathering a plurality of ECG-obtained QRS heart-cycles waveforms, (b) identifying and categorizing of evidences and specific timings therein of intrinsic Q-onset and pacemaker spike events, (c) looking in a single, selected QRS waveform, between specific, defined first and second time marks, for the most significant slope change appearing in that waveform, and (d) designating to be the correct Q-onset that event which immediately precedes that slope change.
摘要:
A computer-based detection method employable with a sleeping subject for aiding in the differential-character diagnosis and treatments of apneic events includes gathering heart-sound data, including S1 data and S2 data. A combined time-frequency-intensity (TFI) analysis, of the gathered data is performed, in a continuous manner, over a selected time period. Based on the performing and the performed TFI analysis, an output is produced which is indicative of the presence and character of any detected apneic event.
