Embodiment Construction

[0019] The invention provides a multi-functional medical facility for evaluation and treatment of trauma and critically ill patients presenting to an emergency room. The facility contains all necessary equipment to evaluate and treat trauma / critically ill patients. Features of this trauma room that different from current conventional rooms include a synergistic arrangement of imaging equipment and operating room capabilities. Providing both imaging and operative capabilities as discussed herein will allow rapid assessment of such patients, while also providing image guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and / or open surgical interventions. The facility can eliminate the inherent delays and risks in transporting a critically ill or injured patient to imaging and operative facilities in different areas of a hospital. Several prototypic configurations are illustrated in the attached figures.

Abstract

A multi-functional medical facility permits emergent diagnostic imaging assessment, image guided therapeutic interventions, and open surgical procedures within the complex. The concept of bringing diagnostic and therapeutic imaging and operative equipment to the critically ill patient or the patient undergoing non-emergency, elective surgery, instead of bringing the patient to the equipment is a major clinical advantage that should improve efficiency, outcome and survival. An important economic advantage is that the components can be used separately and independently of each other, thus enabling them to also be used for routine emergency room (ER) work.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 651,323 filed Feb. 9, 2005.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of Invention [0003] The invention relates generally to a multi-functional medical facility that includes adjacent rooms set up for imaging patients, such as for diagnostic imaging and image-guided interventional procedures, and for performing surgical procedures. [0004] 2. Description of Related Art [0005] Hospitals and other medical care facilities typically include separate facilities for performing patient imaging and administering emergency services. Thus, when a critically ill or injured patient is admitted to an emergency room, it is necessary to transfer the patient to a different location to perform imaging. For example, the patient can be transferred to computed tomography (CT) and radiographic imaging suites for diagnostic studies, or to fluoroscopic and angiographic suites for di...
