Description

  The present invention relates to a patient monitoring apparatus that can monitor the condition of an inpatient in a hospital or the like where a large number of patients are hospitalized.

  In hospitals where a large number of patients are hospitalized, a small number of doctors and nurses constantly monitor the condition of many inpatients and provide medical care. In particular, patients who have been transferred to the intensive care unit or ward after surgery You don't get used to it and you need to monitor it all the time.

  Conventionally, a nurse call system disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-281167 has been proposed as a device for monitoring the condition of such a large number of patients.

  This nurse call system installs a biological information measuring device for measuring biological information such as blood pressure, body temperature, and pulse of each bed patient for each bed in a hospital room, and each bed measured by this biological information measuring device. In the vicinity of the entrance / exit of a patient's room via wired transmission that forms a digital communication network that is pre-integrated with the wireless communication network, the biological information result of the patient and the abnormal value alarm information when the measured biological information result is an abnormal value The data is transmitted to a hallway lamp installed in the hospital, a biological information collection display device provided in the nurse station, and handhelds carried by nurses traveling around the hospital.

With such a configuration, a display unit such as a lamp provided in the corridor lamp blinks and lights up so that it can be notified to nurses, doctors, etc. in the vicinity of the entrance to the hospital room, and a biological information set display device and In Handinance, data and waveforms that are biometric information results are displayed on the display unit, and alarm sound and warning messages are displayed to indicate that it is abnormal value alarm information. It is designed to notify nurses, etc. who are traveling around the hospital while carrying nurses and handicrafts at the station.
JP 2002-281167 A

  However, the nurse call system as described above has the following problems when it comes to protecting personal information about the patient's condition.

  That is, the biological information set display device provided in the nurse station displays the biological information of all the patients, but in a nurse station where entry of a general patient is restricted in a limited room, It is unlikely that personal information about the patient's condition will be leaked from the biological information set display device.

  On the other hand, when displaying data and waveforms that are the results of biological information on the display part of Handinance, and displaying characters that indicate abnormal value alarm information in characters, Handinance is carried by a nurse, hospital room, etc. Since there are many opportunities to see the patient's eyes, personal information about the patient's condition is likely to be leaked.

  In particular, when an alarm sound or warning message is sent to this Handanx that it is abnormal value alarm information, personal information may be leaked because other patients may hear this alarm sound or warning message. Becomes extremely high.

  In addition, even when a display unit such as a lamp provided in the hallway lamp blinks or lights up, the possibility that personal information is leaked is extremely high.

  However, in order to prevent personal information from leaking as much as possible, when the abnormal value alarm information is notified only by the flashing and lighting of the corridor lamp and the audible alarm of Handinance, which biological information of which patient, It is difficult to tell about the contents of the abnormality, so even if the fact of abnormality is transmitted, there is a problem that the degree of urgency about the abnormality is not known.

  In general, it is the nurse in charge that carries the handinance, and it reports the abnormality to the nurse in charge, but it does not convey the abnormality to the nurse or doctor who is not in charge of carrying the handinance. In addition, when carrying a handinance in a pocket or the like, there is a problem that an alarm sound, an alarm message, or a display for reporting an abnormality is overlooked.

  Therefore, the present invention solves the problems as described above and provides a patient monitoring device that can effectively transmit patient abnormal value information together with the abnormal contents while preventing personal information of the patient from leaking. Is.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.
That is, the patient monitoring device according to the present invention includes a plurality of biological information measuring devices that respectively measure biological information such as electrocardiogram, respiratory rate, blood pressure, arterial oxygen saturation, body temperature, heart rate, etc. When the measured value of each biological information of each patient obtained by the information measuring device is an abnormal value that is not within a predetermined range, a code assigned to the patient name and the content of the abnormal value in advance Based on this, an abnormal value signal encoded into a patient code indicating the patient name and an abnormal content code indicating the content of the abnormal value is generated, and the patient code signal and the abnormal content code signal are converted into a display signal and output. Based on the value signal output device and the display signal output from the abnormal value signal output device, abnormal value information for displaying abnormal value information with a patient code indicating the patient name and an abnormal content code indicating the content of the abnormal value It is characterized in that a display device.

  In the present invention, the abnormal value signal output device comprises a biological information centralized monitoring device and a display signal conversion device, the biological information centralized monitoring device is provided in a nurse station and inputs biological information of each patient, An abnormal value for each biological information can be set for each patient, and a code for identifying the patient name and the content of the abnormal value can be assigned, and the measured value of the input biological information is abnormal If it is a value, an abnormal value signal encoded into a patient code indicating the patient name and an abnormal content code indicating the content of the abnormal value is generated based on a code assigned to the patient name and the content of the abnormal value in advance. The display signal conversion device receives the abnormal value signal from the biological information centralized monitoring device and converts the patient code signal and the abnormal content code signal into display signals. It may consist outputs an abnormal value information display device and.

  In the present invention, the abnormal value information display device may be installed in either or both of a hospital room or a corridor that leads from the nurse station to the hospital room.

  Furthermore, the abnormal value information display device may be installed in a corridor that leads from the nurse station to the hospital room with the display surface of the display unit directed in the direction of travel.

  According to the present invention, the abnormal value information displayed on the abnormal value information display device is encoded based on a code assigned in advance to the patient name and the content of the abnormal value. Since this is an abnormal content code that indicates the content of the value, if the meaning of this code is notified only to nurses and doctors and is not known to other patients, personal information about the patient's condition will be leaked Unlikely.

  Therefore, even if this abnormal value information display device is installed in a hospital room or other nurse station such as a corridor that leads from the nurse station to the patient room, there is no risk of personal information about the patient's condition being leaked, and these nurse stations By installing this unit on the other side, not only the nurse in charge of the patient but also a nurse or doctor other than the person in charge who knows the meaning of the code, this abnormality value information display device can be used to immediately see the abnormality and quickly Is possible. Only one abnormal value information display device may be installed, or a plurality of abnormal value information display devices are preferably installed at each place where a nurse or doctor acts.

  When installing the abnormal value information display device in the corridor that leads from the nurse station to the hospital room, if the display surface of the display unit of the abnormal value information display device is installed in the direction of passage, the passage of the corridor, etc. It is preferable because it is easily noticeable and can be seen from a distance.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a patient monitoring apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanation showing an example of a patient code and an abnormal content code displayed on the abnormal value information display apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing another embodiment of the patient monitoring apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an installation example of the abnormal value information display apparatus according to the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, a patient monitoring apparatus according to this embodiment includes a biological information measuring apparatus 1, an abnormal value signal output apparatus 4 including a biological information centralized monitoring apparatus 2 and a display signal conversion apparatus 3, an abnormal value information display apparatus 5, and the like. It is comprised from.

  The biological information measuring device 1 is arranged beside each patient in the bed and measures each biological information such as an electrocardiogram, respiratory rate, blood pressure, arterial oxygen saturation (SPO2), body temperature, heart rate, etc. of each patient. Is. This biological information measuring apparatus 1 has a display unit 11 on the front surface, and the measured values of each biological information measured on the display unit 11 are displayed as numerical values, waveforms, etc., and a nurse or doctor sees the display unit 11. The patient's condition can be directly grasped.

  The abnormal value information output device 4 including the biological information centralized monitoring device 2 and the display signal conversion device 3 is generally installed in a nurse station. The biological information centralized monitoring device 2 collectively manages the measured values of each biological information of each patient obtained from the plurality of biological information measuring devices 1, and the measured values of the biological information measuring device 1 are wirelessly transmitted from the antenna 21. The information is input to the biological information concentration monitoring apparatus 2 via the communication network 6.

  Furthermore, the biological information centralized monitoring device 2 divides and displays the measured values of each biological information of each patient on a display unit 22 by a numerical value, a waveform, or the like, or selectively displays each biological information of a specific patient. And a screen selection input means 23 for selecting these screens, and an abnormal value setting input means 24 for setting an abnormal value for each biological information for each patient. When the measurement value of the biological information input from the device 1 is an abnormal value, an abnormal value signal is output.

  The abnormal value needs to be set for each patient because the abnormal value varies depending on the patient's condition, constitution, sex, age, and the like. For example, regarding the maximum blood pressure of patient A, when 120 to 180 is set as a reference value, and a value less than 120 and a value exceeding 180 are set as abnormal values, if the maximum blood pressure of patient A is measured as 200, An abnormal value signal indicating that the measured value of the highest blood pressure in the biological information is an abnormal value is output from the biological information centralized monitoring device 2.

  Whether or not the measured value is an abnormal value is determined by storing the abnormal value set as described above in the storage circuit, and calculating the difference between the abnormal value set and the measured value by the arithmetic circuit, If the measured value deviates from the abnormal value in the positive direction or the negative direction, an abnormal value signal may be output. This can be done by using normal personal computer calculation software. In this case, it is preferable to output different abnormal value signals depending on whether the deviation is in the plus direction or the minus direction.

  Further, the biometric information centralized monitoring device 2 is provided with a code input means 25, by which a code for identifying the patient name and the contents of the abnormal value can be assigned in advance. The abnormal value signal output from the biological information centralized monitoring device 2 is based on the assigned code and is encoded into a patient code indicating a patient name and an abnormal content code indicating the content of the abnormal value. Is output as.

  The abnormal value signal from the biological information centralized monitoring device 2 is input to the display signal conversion device 3 by wire via the connection line 26, and in the display signal conversion device 3, the patient code signal and the abnormal content code signal are displayed. It is converted into a signal and output to the abnormal value information display device 5. The display signal conversion device 3 is provided with a display unit 31 to display an output display signal so that the content displayed on the abnormal value information display device 5 can be confirmed.

  A plurality of abnormal value information display devices 5 are connected to the display signal conversion device 3 via the local area network 8, and the patient name is displayed based on the display signal input from the display signal conversion device 3. The abnormal value information is displayed on the display unit 51 with the code 7 by the patient code 71 shown and the abnormal content code 72 showing the content of the abnormal value.

  What is displayed on the abnormal value information display device 5 is that when a measured value of biological information measured for a patient is determined to be an abnormal value set for the patient, the patient code 71 of the patient and This is an abnormal content code 72 indicating the content of the abnormal value. Therefore, when the measured values of the biological information of all patients are normal and are not determined as abnormal values, nothing is displayed on the display unit 51 of the abnormal value information display device 5.

  The patient code 71 and the abnormal content code 72 are shown in FIG. 2, for example, in which the patient name and the content of the abnormal value are displayed as 6-digit numbers. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the first three digits are the patient code 71 indicating the patient name, and the last three digits are the abnormal content code 72 indicating the content of the abnormal value. As shown in FIG. 001, B patient is assigned to 002, C patient is assigned to 003,..., Abnormal content code 72 is an electrocardiogram abnormality of 100, respiratory rate abnormality of 200, blood pressure abnormality of 300, arterial blood oxygen saturation level Abnormality is 400, body temperature abnormality is 500, and heart rate abnormality is 600. For example, when patient A has a blood pressure abnormality, it is assigned as 00100 as shown in FIG. Is done.

  In the above example, the abnormal value information display device 5 displays only one patient and is not an example of displaying a case where a plurality of patients show abnormal values. Thus, when displaying the abnormal value on the abnormal value information display device 5 even when a plurality of patients show abnormal values, the display unit 51 is provided in a plurality of stages as shown in FIG. do it.

  As described above, the code 7 may be a number, an alphabet, or a symbol, and is preferably a code whose meaning is not directly understood by the patient. Also, the number of digits is six digits in the above embodiment, but is not particularly limited, and the number of digits may be appropriately adopted depending on the number of patients and the number of biological information to be measured. Also, it may be coded by combining numbers and alphabets.

  Although the abnormal value information display device 5 may be installed only in the most preferable one place in the hospital, it can be installed in a plurality of places by connecting the display signal converting device 3 with the local area network 8, And by installing in several places, abnormality is easy to be discovered and quick response is attained.

  Therefore, it is preferable to install the abnormal value information display device 5 in the hospital room a, the entrance / exit of the patient room a, and a plurality of places such as the corridor b leading to the patient room a from the nurse station, and as shown in FIG. When the information display device 5 is installed in the corridor b that leads from the nurse station to the hospital room a, the display surface 52 of the display unit 51 of the abnormal value information display device 5 is installed in the direction of passage. It is preferable because it is easily noticeable when traveling and can be seen from a distance.

  If the protection of personal information is not a problem, the abnormal value information display device 5 may be added with a speaker or flashing light to notify an alarm by voice or light, and the display itself is caused to emit light or blink. You may do it.

  It should be noted that all the biological information is important for the patient, but the degree of importance is naturally different. For example, when a change in the electrocardiogram is more important than a change in blood pressure for a certain patient, an emergency abnormality content code may be displayed from the abnormal value signal output device 4 when the measured value of the electrocardiogram is an abnormal value. Moreover, a speaker or a blinking light may be added as emergency abnormality content.

  Next, in the form shown in FIG. 3, the abnormal value signal output device 4 is composed of the biological information centralized monitoring device 2 and the display signal conversion device 3 in the form of FIG. The only difference is that the output device 4 is composed of a single control device, and the other points are the same as in the embodiment of FIG.

  That is, the abnormal value signal output device 4 shown in FIG. 3 is a code for identifying the antenna 41 to which the measurement value of the biological information measuring device 1 is input via the wireless communication network 6 and the patient name and the content of the abnormal value in advance. A code input means 42 that can be assigned, an abnormal value setting input means 43 that can set an abnormal value for each biological information for each patient, a display unit 44 that displays an identification code, and the like. Yes.

  And the measured value of each biological information of each patient obtained by the biological information measuring device 1 is inputted from the antenna 41, and the inputted measured value is an abnormal value set by the abnormal value setting input means 43. In this case, the abnormal value signal encoded into the patient code indicating the patient name and the abnormal content code indicating the content of the abnormal value based on the code previously assigned to the patient name and the content of the abnormal value by the code input means 42. The patient code signal and the abnormal content code signal are converted into a display signal and output.

  The output display signal is input to the abnormal value information display device 5 via the local area network 8, and the abnormal value information display device 5 receives the patient name based on the display signal from the abnormal value signal output device 4. The abnormal value information is displayed as the code 7 on the display unit 51 with the patient code 71 indicating the abnormal value and the abnormal content code 72 indicating the content of the abnormal value.

Industrial application fields

  As described above, since the abnormal value information displayed on the abnormal value information display device according to the present invention is a patient code indicating the patient name and an abnormal content code indicating the content of the abnormal value, personal information about the patient's condition Is unlikely to leak.

  Therefore, even if this abnormal value information display device is installed in a hospital room or a nurse station such as a corridor that leads from the nurse station to the hospital room, there is no risk of leakage of personal information about the patient's condition, and the patient's Many nurses and doctors other than the nurse in charge who knows the meaning of the code, as well as the nurse in charge, see this abnormal value information display device so that abnormalities can be immediately identified and prompt responses can be made.
