A device () which includes a monitoring unit (), a therapy unit (), and a display () that includes a touch screen (). The monitoring unit () can be configured to monitor a person's vital signs, such as a person's electrocardiogram (ECG). The therapy unit () can be configured to administer an electric shock. The display () can be configured to display the ECG and enable a user to scroll the displayed ECG back and forth and/or to zoom in and zoom out the displayed ECG by touching the touch screen (). The display () can also be configured to enable the user to select two or more separate segments of the ECG to view together at the same time on the display (), which segments can be separated by intervening segments of the ECG that can be hidden from being viewed on the display (). The display () can have multiple user-interface windows (). One window () can be configured to only display functions related to the monitor unit () and/or the therapy unit (), while another window () can be configured to display software applications, including an electronic patient care record (ePCR) application.

Monitor defibrillator with touch screen U/I for ECG review and therapy

A monitor/defibrillator () is described having an optical image sensor () such as a barcode reader or an optical character reader for accurate and timely entry of information during a medical treatment event. The barcode reader or optical character reader enables a one-step capture of patient identifying information, administered therapeutic substances, equipment and other event information. The information is decoded by the monitor/defibrillator and entered into system memory for later use.

A system for electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation includes a processor and memory coupled to the processor. A rendering module is stored in the memory and is configured to receive input from an ECG and correlate interpretation statements with ECG measurements responsible for the interpretation statements in the ECG. An interface is configured to permit user selection of at least one interpretation statement in a display, the display being configured to render visual indications of the ECG measurements on digitally rendered waveforms of the ECG.

Diagnostic representation and interpretation of ECG leads on a digital display

A CO2 monitoring system () is described which is operable to monitor the CO2 content of respiratory gases during intubation, CPR, or ventilation treatment of a patient. The patient's respiratory gases are sensed for CO2 content () and characteristics of a CO2 waveform are detected (), such as waveform baseline, waveform amplitude, waveform frequency, waveform slope, waveform rhythm, and waveform corners. One or more of the waveform characteristics are analyzed in consideration of the type of respiration treatment being performed to identify an abnormal respiratory condition. These abnormal conditions may include the intubation tube located in the esophagus, ineffective CPR, or an airway obstruction, for example. When an abnormal condition is identified () a visual or audible alarm () is issued to alert a caregiver to tend to the patient.
