Description

The utility model relates to the field of medical equipment, more specifically to devices and systems for monitoring the patient’s body condition, in particular, who is in the emergency room, intensive care unit and other emergency rooms of a medical institution.

There are a large number of devices and devices used to assess the state of individual systems of the patient's body. Among them, in particular, are sensors that measure intracranial pressure (SU 1814871, 1993, A 61 V 5/02), blood pressure (RU 2072877, 1997, A 61 N 2/02) for recording electrocardiograms, temperature, heart rate, and other body parameters (RU 2248813, 2004, A 61 M 16/06).

However, all of these devices are individual in nature and do not allow for monitoring the condition of a large group of patients.

The closest in technical essence to the claimed solution is a complex used to monitor the state of the body and limit external loads on it (RU 2186516, 2002, A 61 V 5/02). The complex includes pulse and respiration sensors connected through amplifiers and analog-to-digital converters with a calculator dividing unit, a software-memory device and an audio and light indication unit,

as well as through a switchboard - with a physiotherapeutic or physical device.

The disadvantage of this device is that it is designed to work with a specific individual patient undergoing a certain exposure, and cannot be used to monitor a large number of patients in different rooms in different physiological conditions.

The problem solved by the authors was the creation of a device that allows real-time monitoring of the state of a significant number of patients in various rooms of the medical institution.

The technical problem was solved by creating a device consisting of sensors placed on the patient’s body or other medical devices having data output ports that are connected by wireless channels through a transmitting and receiving device (PPU) with a device for receiving and primary processing of information (UPPI) and then computer a terminal, the latter being connected by communication channels to a visualization unit and a sound and light indication unit.

The complex features are the inclusion of PPU and UP-POI, which operates using wireless channels, as well as a visualization unit. At the same time, the UPPOI may contain a module that monitors the threshold of the incoming signal and is connected by an additional communication channel to the sound and light indication unit.

The general scheme of the complex is shown in figure 1, where the following notation is introduced:

1 - medical measuring devices (MIP);

2 - transceiver (PPU);

3 - channels of wireless communication (BCS);

4 - a device for receiving and primary processing of information (UPPOI);

5 - computer terminal (CT), which includes the information processing unit (BOI) 6 and the database (DB) 7;

8 - visualization unit (BV);

9 - block sound and light indication (BI);

10 - an automated workplace of a medical worker (AWP).

As MIP 1, pulse oximeters with a data output port (RS-232, parallel port, infrared port) and autonomous power supply (accumulators or batteries) are used, as a rule, to monitor blood oxygen saturation and heart rate, but it is possible to use other devices for recording body parameters.

As PPU 2, hardware modules are used that are able to receive information from the MIP 1 data output port and transmit it via BCS 3, for example, via a radio channel, connected to the UPPOI 4 computer terminal.

As the wireless communication channels 3 use infrared and radio communication channels. The length of the channels, as a rule, is from 10 to 100 m.

UPPOI 4 is a typical multichannel communication device that allows serving 10 or more transmitting devices.

CT 5 is a fifth-generation standard computer containing software for processing received medical information. The composition of CT 5 includes, in particular, the information processing unit and its formatting in accordance with the specified parameters 6 and database 7.

The visualization block BV 8 is a monitor or screen to which information from BOI 6 is transmitted.

BI 9 is a microprocessor that allows you to turn on alarms (bell, siren, flashing light, etc.) and the associated signal device.

One of the screens of BV 8 and BI 9, along with ambulance kits, a telephone, a video-television installation, etc. located in AWP 10, equipped, as a rule, in the premises of the doctor on call.

The device operates as follows. MIP sensors 1 are installed on the body of patients entering the emergency room, intensive care unit and wards for seriously ill patients. After MIL 1 is turned on, the signal from them through PPU 2 is transmitted through BCS 3 to UPPOI 4, where the information is recorded and undergoes an initial assessment before being transferred to BOI 6 CT 5. If the indicator exceeds a predetermined threshold, the information with BCS number 3, according to which it received, transferred for the implementation of an urgent response by the medical staff in BI 9.

All information received in BOI 6 is transmitted for fixation in DB 7 and compared with the data contained in DB 7 regarding this patient and this group of diseases.

The information processing results are received in BV 8, located in the office of the head physician, department head and in the workstation 10. If there are significant negative changes in the patient’s indicators, BOI 6 includes an alarm of BI 9 for the corresponding response of medical personnel.

The use of the proposed complex allows monitoring the saturation of arterial blood with oxygen in combination with the heart rate in patients from the computer terminal of the doctor on call, increasing the reliability of evaluating the work of the cardiovascular, respiratory and other systems of the patient, improving the quality of medical care for patients requiring intensive monitoring, provide continuous reception and storage of data, the ability to conduct a retrospective analysis of the condition of patients by attending physicians, their provisional diagnosis of life-threatening conditions in patients in intensive care units, including the correction of congenital heart defects in newborns.

The use of wireless communication between system components will ensure that the doctor continuously monitors the patient's condition while expanding the regime and increasing physical activity.
