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.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical value of cranial CT for the patients in neurological ICU by analyzing the application of mobile CT scanner CereTom in some hospital.Methods Retrospective analysis was carried out for the patients being hospitalized and undergoing cranial CT examination in some hospital from March 2012 to August 2014.Results Totally 261 patients and 325 times of examination were involved in, and two ones failed in the examination, with the success rate of 99.23%. There were 218 patients (83.52%) had the examination completed in one time and 43 ones (16.48%) in several times. It's proved that bedside CT could be applied clinically with high successful rate. The mean time of bedside CT examination was (18.3±3.8)min, significantly less that then of common examination.Conclusion Mobile CT may decrease moving-related risk of the patient and the time, manpower consumed for examination, and thus is worth popularizing clinically.
