Abstract

A patient monitoring system including a sensing-recording device that attaches to a patient, a probe utilized to attending personnel at a trauma site and a portable data processing system with wireless communications means with each of said probe and sensing-recording device. A medic utilizes a portable data processing device in the form of a tablet or smart phone to select measurements and to control the operation of the probe and the sensing-recording device. Information obtained from the probe can be transferred to the sensing-recording device. The sensing-recording device includes sensors for continuing to accumulate information about various physiological parameters during the transport of a patient from a trauma site to a medical facility.

Claims

1. A system for monitoring a patient a patient comprising:

A) a portable probe for measuring various physiological parameters in response to measurement commands and for generating information including the outcome of the various physiological parameter measurements commands,

B) a sensing-recording device for attachment to a patient for measuring various physiological parameters and for generating information including the outcome of such measurements,

C) a portable data processing system for generating the measurement commands and receiving measurement information generated by said probe and said sensing-recording device, and

D) wireless communication means in each of said portable probe, sensing-recording device and portable data processing system for interconnecting said probe, said sensing-recording device and said portable data processing system whereby the physiological parameter measurements can be displayed at said portable data processing system.

2. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said portable data processing system includes said portable data processing system and said wireless communication means include means for transmitting measurement information to a remote location.

3. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said portable data processing system additional includes imaging means for imaging patient conditions and means for conveying to a remote facility the measurement information and the images from said imaging means.

4. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said portable probe includes at least one sensor for physiological parameters and said portable data processing system includes means for transferring information to said sensing-recording device.

5. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said portable data processing system includes means for receiving environmental parameters from said portable probe.

6. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said portable data processing system includes a visual display and means for displaying measurement data on said visual display.

7. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said portable data processing system and said wireless communications means include means for transferring patient information to a remote location.

8. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said portable data processing system and said wireless communications means includes means for transferring information to said sensing-recording device.
