A medical apparatus communication system includes a first medical apparatus and a second medical apparatus. The first medical apparatus includes a first communicating unit which establishes a communication connection with the second medical apparatus to communicate with the second medical apparatus, and a first controlling unit which controls the first medical apparatus. The second medical apparatus includes a second communicating unit which establishes a communication connection with the first medical apparatus to communicate with the first medical apparatus, a second controlling unit which controls the second medical apparatus, and a second sound outputting unit which performs a sound output in accordance with a control of the second controlling unit. The second controlling unit controls the sound output of the second sound outputting unit in a predetermined timing after establishment of the communication connection between the first and second communicating units.

A device for first responders and medical professionals to assist during the administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a patient in need thereof. The device may also be used to train individuals on how to properly perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation by providing initial instructions about the process as well as real-time monitoring of the student's technique and providing real-time instructive feedback to the student so that the student may improve their skills. The invention also includes a method of using the device to coach first responders and medical professionals as they perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a patient in need thereof as well as a method of using the device to teach students about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Systems and methods related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein.

The present invention is generally directed to methods, systems, and computer program products for coordinating musculoskeletal and cardiovascular hemodynamics, and more directly to stationary and non-stationary exercise equipment that include adjustable behaviors and are used with repetitive activities. The equipment is adjusted automatically in real-time to alter the work output, cadence, and/or timing of the user's physical activity in response to their monitored cardiovascular and musculoskeletal signals to achieve and maintain a targeted coordination of their heart and musculoskeletal pump cycle timing.

A breathing motion simulator for simulating an expanding and retracting movement of live breathing, includes a pump and an inflatable bladder for generating a repetitive motion resembling a breathing motion. The simulator includes a cover plate positioned across the bladder and a cover guidance for linearly guiding the cover plate with respect to a base body. The cover guidance includes at least a first living hinge unit and a second living hinge unit oriented in a non-parallel direction with respect to each other for constraining a rotational movement of the cover plate, where each living hinge unit includes at least three stacked living hinges defining a set of three pivot axes in parallel for allowing a translational movement of the cover plate, such that the cover guidance enables a linear movement of the cover plate.

Medical treatment simulation devices are disclosed. One device includes an overlay, a tracheostomy structure, one or more tubes, at least one sensor, and at least one feedback device. The overlay is configured to be secured to a subject. The overlay is configured to cover at least a portion of a neck and upper torso of the subject. The tracheostomy structure is provided in a neck portion of the overlay. The one or more tubes are positioned within the overlay. The tubes are connected to the tracheostomy structure. The sensor is coupled to the tracheostomy structure and configured to detect a manipulation of the tracheostomy structure. The feedback device is coupled to the overlay. The feedback device is configured to provide feedback based on the manipulation detected by the at least one sensor.

Systems and methods related to the field of cardiac resuscitation, and in particular to devices for assisting rescuers in performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are described herein. The system includes a camera to capture one or more images at a scene where the person in need of medical assistance is being treated and one or more processors. The processors receive and process the images, by using a rescuer profile, to provide a real-time feedback to the rescuer to improve the CPR treatment.

A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compression force indicator includes circuitry (20, 26, 28, 30) for monitoring a patient's transthoracic impedance while the patient is being given CPR and generating a corresponding impedance signal, circuitry (32, 34, 36) for processing the impedance signal to provide an ongoing measurement of cardiac hemodynamic output, a microprocessor (24) for determining if the measurement falls outside pre-set limits, and indicator(s) (38) for indicating such determination externally to the person giving the CPR.

A modular physiological training system including a torso, a rear skull portion, an airway assembly, and a front skull portion. The torso assembly representing a portion of a torso of a patient. The rear skull portion operably coupled to the torso assembly, and representing a rear portion of a patient's skull. The airway assembly representing an airway of the patient. The front skull portion including one or more coupling mechanisms, and representing a front portion of the patient's skull. The torso assembly and the rear skull portion configured to receive a portion of the airway assembly. The one or more coupling mechanisms of the front skull portion configured to operably couple the front skull portion to the airway assembly, and a front skull portion to the rear skull portion.

A training device and related method designed to provide a user or trainee with a realistic tactile sensation or feel for inserting a penetrating device, such as a tracheotomy tube, into the stoma of a subject. The device and method provides a means for providing the user with a high level of initial resistance followed by a relatively quick transition to a lower level of resistance. The resistance will change after the user has pushed the penetrating device past a certain threshold of force or displacement. The resulting transition to a lower level of force, or “pop”, provides the user with a realistic feel to prepare them for procedures on the stoma of an actual subject. A user may then become acclimated to the feel of proper insertion technique. The training device may also be used to train care, cleaning, maintenance, suction, and ventilation of a subject as necessary.
