In a mass casualty situation, medical personnel at the disaster site and other field treatment settings may need to monitor the vital signs of hundreds of seriously injured patients with minimal staffing. The conditions may be primitive and personnel may have to improvise infrastructure. As part of our research to enhance medical response to disasters with Internet-enabled systems, we have developed a prototype Wireless Blood Pulse Oximeter system for mass casualty events designed to operate in WiFi hotspots. Pulse ox units were designed using low-cost embedded system technologies to operate in integrated or stand alone environments. Units can report data to a command post on the scene or any remote location with Internet access. The entire system is potentially capable of tracking and monitoring several hundred patients.
在大规模伤亡事件中，灾难现场及其他现场治疗场所的医护人员可能需要在人员配备最少的情况下监测数百名重伤患者的生命体征。现场条件可能很简陋，工作人员可能不得不临时搭建基础设施。作为我们利用互联网系统增强医疗灾害应对能力研究的一部分，我们开发了一种用于大规模伤亡事件的无线脉搏血氧仪原型系统，该系统设计用于在WiFi热点环境中运行。脉搏血氧仪采用低成本嵌入式系统技术设计，可在集成或独立环境中运行。设备可将数据报告给现场指挥所或任何可访问互联网的远程地点。整个系统有潜力跟踪和监测数百名患者。
