Control and display configuration layout
First Claim
1. A transportable life support system for providing medical care to a patient while transporting the patient from one location to another, the transportable life support system comprising:
- a) a platform configured to receive the patient thereupon;
b) a plurality of medical devices attached to the platform for providing medical monitoring and medical therapy to the patient;
c) a control and display head fairing comprising controls and displays for the medical devices wherein the control and display head fairing provides a centralized location for monitoring and controlling the medical devices so as to mitigate a need for an operator to move about the platform in order to individually observe a display for each medical device and to individually control each medical device; and
d) a ventilation system having at least one air intake duct disposed in the control and display head fairing, at least one air channel extending from the control and display head fairing to a foot end of the transportable life support system, and an exhaust fan disposed adjacent the foot end of the transportable life support system, the air flow path being arranged to cool controls and displays disposed in the head fairing, and maintain patient temperature control.

Abstract
A transportable life support system for providing medical care to a patient while transporting the patient from one location to another has a platform configured to receive the patient, a plurality of medical devices attached to the platform for providing medical monitoring and medical therapy to the patient, and a control and display panel comprising controls and displays for the medical devices. The control and display panel provides a centralized location for monitoring and controlling the medical devices so as to mitigate a need for an operator to move about the platform in order to individually observe a display for each medical device and to individually control each medical device.
