Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a medical care system that brings together multiple emergency therapy devices in a single unit. This system is designed to guide emergency medical personnel through procedures that use these devices simultaneously. The devices are arranged in a convenient and easily accessible way, allowing for quick and efficient use in medical emergencies. The technical effects of this invention include improved efficiency and ease of use for emergency medical personnel."

Problems solved by technology

Often, first responder medical personnel have arrived on site to attend the victim with an AED defibrillator, but have been unable to resuscitate and keep alive the victim without supplemental oxygen on hand.
In many instances the victim was successfully defibrillated, but poor cell perfusion and toxic gases due to hypoxia prevented successful recovery.
Handling each piece of equipment separately, however, is inconvenient and cumbersome for medical personnel, who are often situated in awkward conditions and dangerous circumstances, such as at automobile accident sites.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0019]Referring to FIG. 1, the first embodiment illustrates a housing 1 having two access openings for accessing two compartments 20, 30. Two clear or opaque covers 10, 12 cover the openings, respectively.

[0020]Handle 40 provides a means for carrying the unit to a victim or patient. This allows the user to have a free hand for other equipment, handling a patient or other important tasks. Moreover, with multiple pieces of equipment housed in the same unit, the user needs to only look at the face of the unit to view the various displays for the different systems.

[0021]Thus, consolidating multiple medical devices into one unit provides easier handling and convenience for the user.

[0022]A convenient variation is illustrated in FIG. 2. Instead of having two covers, this embodiment has one cover 14 for covering the openings of com...
