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.
Claims23
A method of communicating information to a telecommunicator, the method comprising:
- at an AED network server, receiving defibrillator incident information generated by and automated external defibrillator (AED) directly or indirectly from the AED in real time during the emergency use of the AED;
- and
- transmitting at least selected portions of the defibrillator incident information from the AED network server 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 a caller at the location of the AED during the emergency use of the AED.
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 a current or a next instruction state of the AED.
A method comprising:
- at an AED network server, directly or indirectly receiving a message from a telecommunicator at a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP);
- and
- forwarding the message, or transmitting at least a portion of the information contained in the message, directly or indirectly to an automated external defibrillator (AED) to thereby facilitate communications from the PSAP to the AED via the AED network server.
A method of communicating information to a telecommunicator, the method comprising:
- at an emergency services interface (ESI), receiving defibrillator incident information generated by and automated external defibrillator (AED) directly or indirectly from the AED in real time during the emergency use of the AED;
- and
- transmitting at least selected portions of the defibrillator incident information from the emergency services interface 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 a caller at the location of the AED during the emergency use of the AED.
