Abstract

A medical procedure table has sensor panels with ports on the top and/or sides of the table for the shorter cables to be attached to the patient and then plugged into the ports of the panels of the table. An equipment panel in the support structure (e.g., pedestal) of the table includes ports for connection to monitoring equipment and drivers. Cables in the table top couple the ports of the sensor panel to corresponding ports of the equipment panel, thus completing a circuit for ECG, SPO₂ monitor, blood pressure cuff, and transducers. Cables may be shielded, unshielded, radiolucent, radiopaque.

Claims

1. A medical table having a table top and a pedestal support, said medical table including:

an equipment interface panel in the pedestal support, said equipment interface panel including a plurality of ports, including at least 3 ECG monitoring ports, each ECG monitoring port being coupled to an ECG monitor;

a sensor interface panel in the table top, said sensor interface panel including a plurality of ports, including at least 3 ECG lead wire ports, each ECG lead wire port being coupled to a lead wire with an ECG electrode,

internal wiring extending from the equipment interface panel to the sensor interface panel, said internal wiring including a wire extending from each port on the equipment interface panel to a corresponding port on the sensor interface panel.

2. A medical table according to claim 1, said internal wiring being shielded.

3. A medical table according to claim 1, said internal wiring being radiolucent.

4. A medical table according to claim 1, further comprising a visible indicator associated with each sensor port, the visible indicator visibly indicating when the port is in use.

5. A medical table according to claim 4, each visible indicator comprising at least one LED associated with each sensor port, the LED illuminating when the port is in use.

6. A medical table according to claim 4, each visible indicator comprising two LEDs, one LED of a first color and another LED of a second color, associated with each sensor port, the first color LED illuminating when the port is in use and the second color LED illuminating when the port is not in use.

7. A medical table according to claim 4, each visible indicator comprising a bi-color LED, having a first color and a second color, associated with each sensor port, the first color of the LED illuminating when the port is in use and the second color of the LED illuminating when the port is not in use.

8. A medical table according to claim 1, further comprising a power supply panel, having a plurality of isolated and grounded power outlets on a separate power supply circuit.

9. A medical table according to claim 1, further comprising a power supply panel, having a plurality of isolated and grounded power outlets on a separate power supply circuit connected to a backup power supply.

10. A medical table according to claim 1, said plurality of ports in the equipment interface panel including at least one SPO₂ monitor port, and said plurality of ports in the sensor interface panel including at least one SPO₂ sensor port, the SPO₂ monitor port being electrically coupled to the SPO₂ sensor port by the internal wiring.

11. A medical table according to claim 1, said plurality of ports in the equipment interface panel including at least one defibrillator port, and said plurality of ports in the sensor interface panel including at least one defibrillator electrode port, the defibrillator port being electrically coupled to the defibrillator electrode port by the internal wiring.

12. A medical table according to claim 1, further comprising a pivoting foot pad attached to the table top by a hinge, said table top being tiltable, and said table top being pivotable from a position in line with the table top to a position orthogonal to the table top, and in the orthogonal position the foot pad providing support surface for a patient when the table is tilted.
