BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The accompanying drawings are used to provide a further understanding of the present invention and constitute a part of the specification. Together with the embodiments of the present invention, they are used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In the accompanying drawings:

[0023] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the principle of a medical alarm system proposed by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] A medical alarm module proposed in the present invention comprises a main control module, multiple instrument data connection monitoring modules, an alarm unit and a material flow monitoring module;

[0026] The main control module is used to receive data uploaded by the instrument data connection monitoring module, and the main control module analyzes the uploaded data to determine whether the data is within the safe value range. The main control module is provided with an alarm unit, and the alarm unit is used to alarm the situation that the monitoring data exceeds the safe range. The main control module is provided with a wireless module and a wired network interface. A monitoring call device is set in the monitoring room of the hospital department, and the wireless module is connected to the wireless network of the monitoring call device or the wired network interface is connected to the network cable to realize the wired Internet connection with the monitoring call device;

[0027] It is very important to convey the alarm information or early warning information of the monitoring equipment in time. Some equipment is equipped with wireless modules, but once the signal in the monitoring room is poor or an alarm occurs, the signal cannot be transmitted, resulting in the doctor being unable to arrive in time when the alarm occurs. Especially when multiple devices are in the patient monitoring room, interference between signals or weakening of the signal transmitted between the rooms will lead to reduced early warning or alarm effects. Setting up a centralized alarm module can connect a variety of monitoring equipment and supply equipment (oxygen supply, blood transfusion, etc.), centrally manage these devices and process information, and alarms or early warnings are also centrally processed. A network cable hole is set up in the ward, and the medical alarm module (equivalent to a computer device) will receive data from multiple devices, centrally process and alarm, and the patient's family members only need to look at the alarm module.

[0028] The plurality of instrument data connection monitoring modules are used to connect data to the patient physiological monitoring instrument in front of the bed, and transmit the data monitored by the patient physiological monitoring instrument to the instrument data connection monitoring module in real time, and the instrument data connection monitoring module processes the monitoring data;

[0029] Monitoring instruments include ECG monitors, blood oxygen monitors and temperature detectors, and some supplies include electronically controlled oxygen delivery machines, infusion machines, blood exchange machines, etc. For critically ill patients, multiple devices can be centrally controlled to process early warnings or alarms;

[0030] The alarm unit includes three groups of display lights and an alarm horn, each group of the display lights includes three LED alarm lights arranged in a row, the three groups of display lights are a primary warning light group, an intermediate alarm light group and an emergency alarm light group, and an alarm horn is correspondingly arranged next to each group of the display lights;

[0031] Each device can use an alarm unit and set the alarm to three levels to provide more accurate alarm or warning. At each level, the volume of the horn alarm is different. The higher the level, the louder the alarm.

[0032] The material flow monitoring module includes a monitoring head assembly and a material monitoring module. The monitoring head assembly includes an oxygen flow electronically controlled connector, a blood oxygen content detection head and a camera. An oxygen flow electronically controlled connector is connected to the oxygen output pipe of the oxygen supply equipment to monitor the oxygen supply flow. A blood drainage channel is inserted into the patient's blood vessel. The solenoid valve on the blood drainage channel is started regularly to discharge a certain amount of blood into the blood oxygen content detection head to detect the oxygen content of human blood. A camera is set in front of each bed to take pictures of the patient's bed status and whether the wearing equipment is normal. The monitoring head assembly is data-connected to the material monitoring module, and the material monitoring module uploads the monitoring data to the main control module for analysis in real time.

[0033] For some equipment, such as oxygen supply machines and blood transfusion machines, the monitoring data of the equipment is internal. When there is a problem with the output pipeline of the medical pendant, or when there is a problem with the oxygen mask worn, the oxygen supply machine cannot alarm. An oxygen flow electric control connector is set on the pipeline to monitor the pipeline gas flow, and a camera is used to monitor whether the patient wears the oxygen mask normally. If it is not normal, an alarm will be issued to solve the abnormal problems that the oxygen supply machine cannot detect and improve the alarm range and accuracy. For blood transfusion machines, a flow meter (electrical control) can also be set on the blood transfusion line, because after the plasma is output, the instrument cannot detect it, and blood leakage in the pipeline cannot be detected, etc. The setting is determined according to needs to improve the alarm range and accuracy;

[0034] The main control module is connected to a display module. If the instrument data connection monitoring module is connected to the corresponding patient physiological monitoring instrument data, the corresponding instrument data connection monitoring module will display its working and alarm status on the display module. When the data uploaded by a certain instrument data connection monitoring module is analyzed to be abnormal, the main control module will control the alarm unit to alarm it.

[0035] The display module is set to centrally display all equipment data. When there is no abnormality, only the normal data is displayed. When there is an abnormality, the corresponding equipment will be alarmed and the doctor in the intensive care unit will be notified.

[0036] If at least two uploaded data abnormalities occur in the instrument data connection monitoring module, the alarm unit will alarm one of the uploaded data abnormalities of the instrument data connection monitoring module that has the most serious impact on the patient.

[0037] Based on the doctor's experience, the strength of the patient's alarm can be determined and set according to the actual situation, so that the doctor can know the most serious condition alarm more quickly and deal with the most serious alarm in time (when multiple alarms occur).

[0038] The colors of the LED warning lights in the primary warning light group, the intermediate warning light group and the emergency warning light group are yellow, red and colored flashing lights respectively; each LED warning light in the primary warning light group corresponds to one pulse, each LED warning light in the intermediate warning light group corresponds to two pulses, and each LED warning light in the emergency warning light group corresponds to three pulses.

[0039] For the alarm level, there is not only a difference in the sound, the color represents the severity of the alarm. Red is very serious. The primary warning light group is a warning (displaying red lights, and all three are on, it is approaching an alarm state). The number of pulses can achieve different volumes of the horn sound.

[0040] The main control module is provided with a database, and each instrument data connection monitoring module will establish a corresponding data analysis model, and all the data analysis models will be stored in the database.

[0041] Establishing a model for early warning or alarm can provide more accurate visual alarms, facilitating timely treatment of patients' conditions;

[0043] The control unit includes a main control module and a monitoring call device, wherein the main control module is arranged in a ward, and the monitoring call device is arranged in a monitoring room of a hospital department. The main control module is provided with a wireless module and a wired network interface, and the wireless module is connected to a wireless network of the monitoring call device or the wired network interface is connected to an internet cable to realize a wired internet connection with the monitoring call device;

[0044] The monitoring unit includes a plurality of instrument data connection monitoring modules connected with the instrument data and a material flow monitoring module for monitoring the material flow. The instrument data connection monitoring module corresponds to the patient physiological monitoring instrument in front of the bed for data connection, and transmits the data monitored by the patient physiological monitoring instrument to the instrument data connection monitoring module in real time. The instrument data connection monitoring module processes the monitoring data. The material flow monitoring module includes a monitoring head combination and a material monitoring module. The monitoring head combination includes an oxygen flow electric control connector, a blood oxygen content detection head and a camera.

[0045] The alarm unit includes three groups of display lights and an alarm horn. Each group of the display lights includes three LED alarm lights arranged in a row. The three groups of display lights are a primary warning light group, an intermediate alarm light group and an emergency alarm light group. An alarm horn is correspondingly arranged next to each group of the display lights.

[0046] The colors of the LED warning lights in the primary warning light group, the intermediate warning light group and the emergency warning light group are yellow, red and colored flashing lights, respectively. Each LED warning light in the primary warning light group corresponds to one pulse, each LED warning light in the intermediate warning light group corresponds to two pulses, and each LED warning light in the emergency warning light group corresponds to three pulses;

[0047] The pulse frequencies corresponding to the LED warning lights in the primary warning light group, the intermediate warning light group and the emergency warning light group gradually increase.

[0048] The medical alarm alarm system adopts the internal structure of the medical alarm module. For abnormal data, it displays different levels of LED alarm lights and corresponding horns, so that family members can also clearly judge the alarm level;

[0049] Each time, data from multiple devices can be transmitted simultaneously to the monitoring equipment (computer) in the background monitoring room, so that when you see the alarm information, you can also see the information pages of other monitoring devices. Signal transmission uses wireless or limited (wireless can set up a local area network and can also be used when the Internet is disconnected) to improve the timeliness and accuracy of signal transmission.

[0050] The main control module is provided with a database, and a plurality of regional blocks are provided in the database. Each instrument data connection monitoring module will establish a corresponding data analysis model, and each data analysis model will be stored in a regional block. Each regional block stores the historical monitoring data of the corresponding data analysis model.

[0051] By using historical data for comparative analysis and based on the patient's condition, the alarm situation can be judged more accurately, making the alarm more in line with the patient's actual situation.

[0052] The main control module is provided with a button forced alarm. When the patient's family members press the button forced alarm, the main control module will send a forced alarm message to the monitoring call device to notify the doctor to come and check the patient's condition. The patient's family members can make an emergency call to the doctor. For some abnormal situations that the alarm device cannot respond to, the patient's family members can make an emergency notification and alarm.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
