Description
People such as present patent application requirement C.M.Kelly ask US60/427,154 priority in the interim patent of submitting on November 18th, 2002.
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to field of medical.More specifically, the present invention relates to the surveillance equipment that can in multiple different working modes, use.
Background technology
As current practical situation, physiological moniyoting equipment is designed for particular place usually, wherein uses these equipment when watching over the sick, for example in hospital or outside the hospital.Under the situation of traumatic patient, monitor that patient begins at accident spot usually.Ambulance carries the support air monitor, and it is designed to the blanket shape, thereby can use in mobile ground and transatmospheric vehicle.
Continue above-mentioned example, patient is transported to hospital, may receive with estimation accident or severity of disease in emergency unit at the beginning.This common needs disconnection patient is connected with the ambulance monitor, and patient is reconnected to the interior monitor of emergency room (ER).The monitor that is used for the hospital emergency chamber region has usually to the wireless connections of central station and information network, and this allows monitor and patient to move.Like this, can in ER, dispose, browse and control them in the place of any needs.
If patient is in a bad way, then patient can be delivered to operating room (OR) or severe disease nurse ward (ICU).If this occurs, can disconnect being connected of patient and ER monitor, and it is reconnected to OR or ICU monitor.The monitor that uses in OR or ICU is fixed and is installed on the wall.They also provide bigger and more high-resolution demonstration to allow to visit easily mass data.Monitor in OR or ICU can also allow to add more the multiparameter function to obtain the more complete picture of patient health.
The problem that monitors patient still is when patient to be moved to recovery area and moves to the ICU zone subsequently from OR.Patient can move to more not serious " alleviating (step-down) " unit from the ICU zone.In these examples, may must physically disconnect again being connected of patient and OR monitor, and reconnect to air monitor, be connected to ICU or alleviation monitor subsequently.
Be equipped with half wearing type (remote measurement) equipment that moves or move also wish for sometimes healthy patient and leave sick bed to allow patient, thereby to toilet and/or go in the nursing unit.Can allow some complete mobile patients to walk in the specific region of hospital moves.The monitor of this purposes must be small-sized and light-duty, so that patient can carry this monitor easily when walking or move.After patient further improved physiological status, patient no longer needed to be monitored continuously.Yet, spot-check vital sign termly, so that before patient discharge, can provide final complete assessment to it.
Because patient's bodily form difference, current patient monitoring device can also manufacture different sizes.For example, the neonate patient may need small sized monitor, and pediatric patient needs bigger monitor and adult patient to need complete size monitor.These monitors also comprise the different monitored parameters that are used for different patient's kinds.For example, infant heart rates is higher than adult's heart rate, and alarm parameter need suitably be set.
As mentioned above, hospital may need two, four even how dissimilar monitor apparatus to cover nursing place, application and patient classification, as mentioned above.Because the surveillance equipment of these types there is no need to be made by same distributors, so they can not use identical communication protocol and method, will have different control, interface and/or adnexa probably.Therefore, have the extra work that a plurality of monitors need the nursing staff.As long as the exchange monitor, they are just essential to connect and the pick off of open configuration on patient body.And, although only use adnexa once in a while, disconnecting the adnexa of a monitor and being connected of patient, the corresponding accessory that reconnects another different monitors subsequently is pretty troublesome.In addition, must train nursing staff's operation to have a plurality of surveillance equipments of different controls and interface.
Another problem is that existing system lacks the compatible property of a plurality of equipment.Just, distinct device can not intercom easily mutually, perhaps can not communicate by letter by any way.Therefore, very difficult from a kind of surveillance equipment to another kind of surveillance equipment transmission data, or even impossible.Therefore, along with patient is flowed in the zones of different of hospital, patient's historical data may be lost.In addition, because disconnect being connected of patient and arbitrary surveillance equipment sometimes, thereby can not preserve the complete documentation of this patient's physiological data.
More existing surveillance equipments have been attempted combination and have been transmitted monitor features and fixed surveillance device feature to avoid interrupting data collection.More specifically, these equipment attempt to make up giant display with portable.In a kind of like this structure, need compromise usually.If for high resolution use is made display enough big, then this unit becomes too huge and heavy for transmitting.If for portability gets display design light-duty and small-sized, then monitor does not have enough big screen size and resolution, visiting these data may be very difficult or impossible.Existing other monitor lacks local display, postpones the rapid evaluation of patient condition, and purchase and maintenance cost are very high.
Summary of the invention
The inventor has advantageously recognized need a kind of like this monitor, when patient by different places and their different recoveries that promptly is sent to the outpatient of flowing from the beginning during the stage, it can reduce or avoid disconnecting the requirement that is connected and reconnects to another monitor with a monitor from patient; Be and automatically take its operation according to patient's needs and patient's environment on the one hand; Be that on the other hand it is to protect the small hand-held formula equipment that can pass to another patient as required from a patient.
According to principle of the present invention, be assembled into the system monitoring of portable monitor unit and handle the signal parameter that in a plurality of mode of operations, obtains from patient.Data acquisition processor receives the patient parameter data from the pick off of a plurality of different patients' assemblings, and handles these data so that the patient parameter data after the processing to be provided.Patient parameter data after the image reproducing apparatus display process.Patient parameter data after communication interface will be handled sends image reproducing apparatus to show, in first pattern, when described portable monitor unit mooring during at the mooring station, patient parameter data after will handling simultaneously sends described mooring station to, perhaps in second pattern, be coupled to the Network Access Point of communication network by radio communication.Power subsystem is given the battery charge in the portable monitor unit in first pattern.
