A method and apparatus are provided for distributing power within a cardiac treatment and monitoring system which includes a defibrillator releasably coupled to a patient monitoring unit. The method includes the steps of determining a battery reserve capacity within the patient monitoring unit and distributing power from the patient monitoring system to a defibrillator when the determined battery reserve capacity exceeds a threshold value.

Portable patient monitor with defibrillator/pacemaker interface and battery power management

A patient monitor for determining a probability that a patient has acute cardiac ischemia including an input device connectable to a patient to acquire electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from the patient, an instrumentation amplifier connected to the input terminal to combine the signals and to generate at least one ECG lead, and an analysis module. The analysis module is operable to continuously read the ECG lead, to analyze a portion of the ECG lead for a period of time, and to calculate a probability that the patient has acute cardiac ischemia based at least in part on the analyzed portion of the ECG lead.
