Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the medical field, in particular to a monitoring method and a monitoring system for emergency observation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most patients entering the emergency department do not immediately show an emergency condition, and the doctor will let the patient be continuously observed in the observation ward. This part of patients can freely move, but may appear in danger at any time. The current monitor is limited by the cable, which greatly restricts the patient, and the number is limited, which brings the problem of insufficient monitoring rate, and the patient not monitored by the monitor cannot be discovered in time when danger occurs. At present, point measurement equipment such as a thermometer and a blood pressure meter are used in emergency observation to measure the temperature, blood pressure and other vital signs of the patient in the observation ward at regular intervals, but the mobile measurement by the nurse is insufficient to capture the changes in the patient's condition in time. Therefore, the monitoring efficiency of emergency observation needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0067] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by associated similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of this application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to this application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of this application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0068] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0069] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0070] In response to the characteristics of clinical scenarios in emergency observation, this invention constructs a monitoring system with mobile monitoring equipment as its core, aiming to solve the problem of insufficient monitoring rate due to cable constraints, which leads to the inability to detect patient risks in a timely manner, and to assist medical staff in improving the monitoring efficiency of emergency observation.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the monitoring system for emergency observation provided by the present invention includes: a bedside monitor 20, a mobile monitoring device 30, and a central station 10.

[0072] The bedside monitor 20 is used to monitor the patient and to be paired with the mobile monitoring device 30 to receive monitoring data obtained when the mobile monitoring device 30 monitors the patient.

[0073] The mobile monitoring device 30 is worn on the patient's body to monitor the patient and to transmit monitoring data obtained during patient monitoring to the bedside monitor 20 and / or the central station 10. This embodiment is described using the transmission of monitoring data to the bedside monitor 20 and the central station 10 as an example. The mobile monitoring device 30 is wirelessly connected to the bedside monitor 20 and the central station 10 to realize the transmission of monitoring data.

[0074] The central station (central monitoring workstation) 10 is used to acquire a first parameter characterizing the patient's current severity. When the first parameter is lower than a preset first threshold, it outputs information prompting the user to use a mobile monitoring device 30 for intermittent monitoring of the patient. When the first parameter is higher than the preset first threshold, it outputs information prompting the user to use a bedside monitor 20 and / or a mobile monitoring device 30 for continuous monitoring of the patient. Therefore, the central station 10 can provide prompts on which monitoring device and monitoring method (intermittent or continuous monitoring) to use based on the severity of the patient's current condition. Medical staff can then provide the patient with the appropriate level of monitoring based on these prompts, thus rationally allocating monitoring equipment without restricting the monitoring of patients with mild symptoms, thereby improving the efficiency of emergency observation monitoring.

[0075] The monitoring process of the monitoring system is described below through several embodiments, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0076] Step 1: Obtain the primary parameter characterizing the patient's current severity. This primary parameter can be determined manually or automatically. These will be explained in detail below.

[0077] Central Station 10 includes a human-computer interaction device. This device is used for human-computer interaction, such as outputting visual information and receiving user input. User input can be received via a keyboard, operation buttons, mouse, trackball, touchpad, or a touchscreen integrated with the display screen; visual information can be output via the display screen. Central Station 10 receives a first parameter input by the user through its human-computer interaction device. This first parameter characterizes the severity of the patient's current condition. The specific form of this first parameter can be varied, including various types of potential critical illness scoring systems, such as the Early Warning System (EWS) score, Rapid Acute Physiology Score (RAPS) score, Rapid Emergency Medicine Score (REMS) score, and MEES score (dynamic evaluation of the effectiveness and quality of pre-hospital emergency care and emergency resuscitation). Other scores reflecting patient severity can also be used, provided that all medical staff adhere to a unified standard.

[0078] This embodiment uses the EWS score as an example. The EWS score helps medical staff dynamically monitor changes in the patient's condition and identify potentially critically ill patients early. After receiving a patient, medical staff can score the patient according to the EWS scoring criteria and input the EWS score into the central station 10. Medical staff can also have the patient wear a mobile monitoring device 30. The mobile monitoring device 30 monitors the patient according to the monitoring mode set by the medical staff or the monitoring mode preset by the system. For example, when the mobile monitoring device 30 is working in continuous monitoring mode, it continuously monitors the patient (e.g., continuously detects one or more physiological parameters) to obtain first monitoring data; when working in intermittent monitoring mode, it intermittently monitors the patient (e.g., intermittently detects one or more physiological parameters) to obtain second monitoring data. The mobile monitoring device 30 transmits the first or second monitoring data to the central station 10, either directly or through the bedside monitor 20. The central station 10 receives first or second monitoring data transmitted from the mobile monitoring device 30, and obtains the patient's current EWS score based on the first or second monitoring data. That is, the central station 10 can score the patient according to a preset EWS scoring standard based on multiple physiological parameters detected by the mobile monitoring device 30, and obtain the patient's current EWS score. This eliminates the need for manual judgment by medical staff, reducing their workload.

[0079] Step 2: Based on the first parameter, recommend monitoring equipment and monitoring modes to the user. For example, when the first parameter is lower than a preset first threshold, the central station 10 outputs a first message prompting the user to use a mobile monitoring device for intermittent monitoring of the patient. A first parameter lower than or equal to the first threshold indicates that the patient's symptoms are mild, and intermittent monitoring with a mobile monitoring device is sufficient; the patient can move freely. When the first parameter is higher than the preset first threshold, the central station 10 outputs a message prompting the user to use a bedside monitor and / or a mobile monitoring device for continuous monitoring of the patient. A first parameter higher than the first threshold may require continuous monitoring and assessment of the patient. Specifically, the central station 10 can output a third message prompting the user to use a mobile monitoring device 30 for continuous monitoring of the patient, or a second message prompting the user to use a bedside monitor 20 for continuous monitoring of the patient; further subdivision processing can be performed on this basis. This embodiment uses subdivision processing as an example for explanation. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, step 2 may include the following steps:

[0080] Step 21: Central station 10 determines whether the first parameter is higher than the preset first threshold. If yes, proceed to step 23; otherwise, proceed to step 22.

[0081] Step 22: When the first parameter is lower than a preset first threshold, the central station 10 outputs a first message prompting the user to use a mobile monitoring device for intermittent monitoring of the patient. The first message can be at least one of text, graphics, and sound. The central station 10 outputs the first message by displaying it on the screen of its human-computer interaction device, or by amplifying it through a speaker; it can also be output to the mobile monitoring device 30 worn by the patient, where it is displayed on the screen or amplified through the speaker; or it can be output to the bedside monitor 20, where it is displayed on the screen or amplified through the speaker, facilitating quick presentation to medical staff.

[0082] Step 23: Central station 10 determines whether the first parameter is higher than the preset second threshold. If yes, proceed to step 25; otherwise, proceed to step 24.

[0083] Step 24: When the first parameter is between the first threshold and the second threshold, the central station 10 outputs third information prompting the user to use the mobile monitoring device 30 for continuous patient monitoring. The first and second thresholds can be set according to the user's needs, and the second threshold can be higher than the first threshold. For example, in one embodiment, the first parameter being between the first and second thresholds indicates that the patient may not need hospitalization, but may later require hospitalization. Therefore, mobile continuous monitoring of the patient does not restrict the patient's freedom and allows for real-time monitoring of their physiological parameters, with appropriate monitoring standards. Similarly, the third information can be at least one of text, graphics, and sound. The central station 10 outputs the third information by displaying it on the screen of its human-computer interaction device, or by emitting sound through the speaker of the central station 10; it can also be output to the mobile monitoring device 30 worn by the patient, displayed on the screen of the mobile monitoring device 30, or emitted sound through the speaker of the mobile monitoring device 30; or it can be output to the bedside monitor 20, displayed on the screen of the bedside monitor 20, or emitted sound through the speaker of the bedside monitor 20.

[0084] Step 25: When the first parameter is higher than the second threshold, or when the first parameter is equal to the second threshold, the central station 10 outputs a fourth message prompting the user to use both the bedside monitor 20 and the mobile monitoring device 30 for continuous patient monitoring. In one embodiment, if the first parameter is higher than or equal to the second threshold, it indicates an increased risk of changes in the patient's condition, a risk of "potential critical illness," and an increased risk of admission to a specialized ward or even the ICU. Therefore, using two devices for continuous monitoring can achieve a good monitoring effect. Similarly, the fourth message can be at least one of text, graphics, and sound. The central station 10 outputs the fourth message by displaying it on the screen of its human-computer interaction device, or by amplifying it through the speaker of the central station 10; it can also be output to the mobile monitoring device 30 worn by the patient, where it is displayed on the screen or amplified through the speaker of the mobile monitoring device 30; or it can be output to the bedside monitor 20, where it is displayed on the screen or amplified through the speaker of the bedside monitor 20, facilitating quick presentation to medical staff.

[0085] In addition to the first, third, and fourth information, the second information can also be at least one of text, graphics, and sound. The central station 10 outputs the second information, which can be displayed on the screen of its human-computer interaction device, or it can be output to the speaker of the central station 10 for sound generation; it can also be output to the mobile monitoring device 30 worn by the patient for display on the screen of the mobile monitoring device 30 or for sound generation by the speaker of the mobile monitoring device 30; it can also be output to the bedside monitor 20 for display on the screen of the bedside monitor 20 or for sound generation by the speaker of the bedside monitor 20.

[0086] Since the first parameter in this embodiment uses the EWS score, the corresponding first threshold is the first score, and the second threshold is the second score. The first and second scores can be set according to the user's needs. For example, in one embodiment, the first score is 3 points, and the second score is 5 points. An EWS score of 3 indicates a reminder for medical staff to conduct an assessment and adjust the treatment plan. An EWS score of 5 is the optimal threshold for identifying the severity of the patient's condition; a score of 5 or higher requires hospitalization, while a score below 5 usually does not require hospitalization.

[0087] Step 3: Monitor the patient using the recommended monitoring equipment and monitoring modes. Specifically, the mobile monitoring device 30 has two operating modes: continuous monitoring mode and intermittent monitoring mode.

[0088] Users can use mobile monitoring devices 30 to perform intermittent monitoring of patients. The mobile monitoring device 30 can be worn on the patient and linked to the patient's identity information or bed information, setting it to intermittent monitoring mode. When operating in intermittent monitoring mode, the mobile monitoring device 30 performs intermittent monitoring of the patient and transmits the second monitoring data obtained from the intermittent monitoring to the central station 10. The central station 10 receives the second monitoring data transmitted by the mobile monitoring device 30, processes the received data to obtain physiological parameter values, physiological parameter curves, and / or alarm events, and displays them. In this way, medical staff can view and manage each freely moving patient through the central station 10.

[0089] When a user uses the mobile monitoring device 30 to continuously monitor a patient, the device can be worn on the patient and linked to the patient's identity information or bed information, and set to continuous monitoring mode. The mobile monitoring device 30 is also used to continuously monitor the patient when not paired with the bedside monitor 20 and operating in continuous monitoring mode, transmitting the third monitoring data obtained from the continuous monitoring to the central station 10. The central station 10 receives the third monitoring data transmitted by the mobile monitoring device 30, processes the received data to obtain physiological parameter values, physiological parameter curves, and / or alarm events, and displays them.

[0090] Users can use a mobile monitoring device 30 and a bedside monitor 20 for continuous patient monitoring. The mobile monitoring device 30 can be worn on the patient, bound to the patient's identity information or bed information, and paired with the bedside monitor 20 for joint monitoring of the same patient. After pairing, the central station 10 and / or the bedside monitor 20 control the mobile monitoring device 30 to enter continuous monitoring mode. Alternatively, medical staff can manually set the mobile monitoring device 30 to continuous monitoring mode. When paired with the bedside monitor 20 and operating in continuous monitoring mode, the mobile monitoring device 30 continuously monitors the patient and transmits the first monitoring data obtained to the central station 10 and / or the paired bedside monitor 20. The bedside monitor 20 receives the first monitoring data transmitted by the mobile monitoring device 30, processes it to obtain physiological parameter values, physiological parameter curves, and / or alarm events, and displays them. Similarly, the central station 10 receives the first monitoring data transmitted by the mobile monitoring device 30, processes the received first monitoring data to obtain physiological parameter values, physiological parameter curves and / or alarm events, and displays them.

[0091] The system can continuously monitor the patient's primary parameters. After step 3, the system returns to step 1. If the primary parameters change, the system will recommend monitoring equipment and modes to the user again. Whether the patient's condition improves or deteriorates, there will be a suitable monitoring method for them. The user can then make adjustments accordingly, ensuring that the patient receives the most suitable monitoring at different times.

[0092] In summary, the monitoring method and system for emergency observation provided by this invention can recommend suitable monitoring equipment and monitoring modes for patients based on EWS scores, thereby improving the work efficiency of medical staff. Moreover, the use of mobile monitoring equipment to monitor patients with relatively mild symptoms not only meets the doctor's monitoring needs but also meets the patient's need for freedom of movement. Furthermore, the number of mobile monitoring devices is usually not limited, resulting in a high monitoring rate.
