ABSTRACT
Objective To design a portable vital signs monitoring system to monitor and analyze severe patient vital signs in field conditions.Methods The communication protocols of all medical devices were analyzed.The information on the vital signs were acquired periodically from medical devices with the signal transducer based on embedded technique,and then sent to the computer for analysis.The abnormalities were displayed on the portable terminal.Results The system met the desired requirements,and facilitated the medical personnel dedicated to treatment.Conclusion The system contributes to information sharing for the changes of vital signs in field conditions,so that the doctor can take measures in time to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the treatment.
