An alarm indicator (4) is provided with a light guiding member (41), a first light source (42) and a transmissive member (43). The light guiding member (41) extends in a first direction that is parallel to a display screen in which medical information is displayed. The first light source (42) faces an end face (41a) of the light guiding member (41) in the first direction. The transmissive member (43) covers the light guiding member (41) from a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The light guiding member (41) is provided with a light reflecting portion and an outer face (41d). The light reflecting portion extends in the first direction and reflects the light incident from the end face (41a) at least toward the second direction intersecting with the first direction. The light reflected by the reflecting portion is emitted from the outer face (41d) while being diffused.

An object of the present invention is to provide a new electric device for defibrillation and a method for generating a defibrillation signal. The electric device for defibrillation includes an electrocardiogram waveform input unit; and an enable signal generating unit, wherein the electric device for defibrillation is configured to generate an enable signal from the enable signal generating unit after a peak of an event is surpassed and when or after condition 1 is satisfied, the event being estimated to be an R-wave of an electrocardiogram waveform, the electrocardiogram waveform being obtained from a human body and inputted from the electrocardiogram waveform input unit, and the condition 1 is that a differential value in a differentiated waveform generated based on the electrocardiogram waveform, which corresponds to the event estimated to be the R-wave, is a negative constant C.sub.3 value or less.

Technologies and implementations for a wearable healthcare system including one or more electrodes, which may detect and determine smart leads off conditions of the one or more electrodes. The wearable healthcare system may include a leads off monitor module, which may be configured to learn when and when not to cause a leads off alert.

A system and method for maintaining a patient's body temperature during and after surgical exposure is provided. A surgical, insulative cap both aids in maintaining the patient's core body temperature at an euthermic range and further incorporates a graphic display panel for providing a remote caregiver informational interface. Vital signs sensors may therefor communicate, either directly or remotely, to said informational interface and allow, access to vital signs information to the caregiver in a convenient manner that does not require diversion of attention from the patient in order to monitor.

Device and methods for detection and classification of pathogens have an imaging module, an image processing module, and a display module. The imaging module has a plurality of light sources to expose a sample to excitation radiation at various wavelengths. A detector in the imaging module synchronously captures time-resolved fluorescence emission spectra, time-resolved reflectance, and transmittance spectra at multiple spectral bands from the sample. The image processing module resolves the spectra and compares obtained spectral parameters to set of standard parameters provided in a library database to determine a match to detect and classify pathogens.

Devices and methods for allowing for improved assisted ventilation of a patient. The methods and devices provide a number of benefits over conventional approaches for assisted ventilation. For example, the methods and devices described herein permit blind insertion of a device that can allow ventilation regardless of whether the device is positioned within a trachea or an esophagus. In addition, the methods and device allow for timed delivery of ventilations based on a condition of a thoracic cavity to increase the amount and efficiency of blood flow during a resuscitation procedure.

An example system for monitoring and delivering therapy to a patient includes a monitor module with patient monitoring capability, and a manifold that is operable to provide an electrical connection between the monitor module and cables connecting to sensors for collecting physiologic monitoring data of a patient, and to provide a gas connection between the monitor module and tubing for delivering treatment to or collecting additional physiologic monitoring data from the patient. The manifold includes a connector for mechanically connecting the manifold to the monitor module, and the connector also for mechanically disconnecting the manifold from the monitor module while maintaining the cables and the tubing coupled to the patient. In some examples, the system can also include a cot including a second set of monitoring electronics with patient monitoring capability, the cot including a port for coupling with the connector of the manifold.
