Combined patient monitor and care station

A care management workstation unit which contains three basic elements. There is a cathode ray tube or CRT, a mount, and a system unit. The CRT is rotatably mounted on the mount. It is capable of any rotational position and is able to be balanced at all such positions. The CRT is unique in that it is integral to the system. The mount connects the CRT to the system unit. It is able to be mounted flush against a wall such that the entire unit is supported by the mount. The system unit is also flush with the wall and the wall mount so that the entire system may be placed for mounting against a wall. In all, these three devices combine into one system to provide for a powerful, compact and ergonomically successful device which enables one to use the system virtually anywhere within a hospital or industrial setting.

Patient monitoring unit and care station

Housing for an automated blood pressure and other vital signs monitoring

An inflatable, deflatable cuff, worn by the subject, is coupled to an air reservoir which is at a predetermined pressure which is above systolic pressure. The pressure head is established by a pump mechanism preferably located within the reservoir. When the reservoir is operatively coupled to the cuff, the cuff quickly inflates to a desired artery-occluding initial pressure preparatory to a following blood pressure measuring cycle of operation. The air pump resumes air flow into the reservoir when pressure within the reservoir falls below a predetermined threshold in preparation for a subsequent measurement cycle. The pump also supplies air directly to the cuff should the reservoir contents ever be inadequate to inflate fully the occluding cuff.
