Abstract
System and methods for delivering defibrillator incident information to a PSAP in real-time during emergency use of an AED are described. Such information is utilized by a telecommunicator at a PSAP to provide better guidance to volunteer caregivers during potential cardiac arrest incidents. In another aspect the AED's current instruction state and optionally the time in that state is provided to the PSAP.
Claims21
An automated external defibrillator (AED) configured to transmit selected defibrillator incident information directly or indirectly to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) responsible for handling calls to emergency services originating from an area that includes a current location of the AED, wherein the selected defibrillator incident information is forwarded to the PSAP in real time during the emergency use of the AED such that the selected defibrillator incident information can be utilized in real time by the telecommunicator to provide directions to a caregiver utilizing the AED or to a caller at the location of the AED during the emergency use of the AED, wherein the selected defibrillator incident information includes at least one of (i) a current instruction state of the AED, and (ii) a next instruction state of the AED.
An automated external defibrillator (AED) that includes defibrillation electrode pads and is configured to transmit selected defibrillator incident information directly or indirectly to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) responsible for handling calls to emergency services originating from an area that includes a current location of the AED, wherein the selected defibrillator incident information is forwarded to the PSAP in real time during emergency use of the AED such that the selected defibrillator incident information can be utilized in real time by the telecommunicator to provide directions to a caregiver utilizing the AED or to a caller at the location of the AED during the emergency use of the AED, wherein the selected defibrillator incident information includes an indication that the electrode pads have been placed.
A method comprising, sending a message from a telecommunicator at a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) to an automated external defibrillator (AED) wherein the message is communicated to the AED via an AED network server located remotely relative to the PSAP, the AED network server being configured to communicate with AEDs located both inside and outside of a geographic region associated with the PSAP.
A method of communicating information from an automated external defibrillator (AED) to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), the method comprising:
- outputting defibrillator incident information generated by the AED in real time during emergency use of the AED, wherein the outputted defibrillator incident information includes an indication of a current state of the defibrillator;
- and
- transmitting selected portions of the defibrillator incident information directly or indirectly to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) responsible for handling calls to emergency services originating from an area that includes a current location of the AED, wherein the selected defibrillator incident information is transmitted to the PSAP in real time during the emergency use of the AED such that the selected defibrillator incident information including the indication of the current state, and an indication of an amount of time that the AED has been in the current state can be utilized in real time by the telecommunicator to provide directions to a caregiver utilizing the AED or a caller at the location of the AED during the emergency use of the AED.
