Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of defibrillation technology, specifically to a defibrillation electrode assembly and a defibrillation system. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing availability of AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators), they are now commonly found in public places. In the event of cardiac arrest, an AED can be obtained promptly within the golden timeframe for defibrillation, thus improving the patient's survival rate. Generally, the operator inserts the AED's defibrillation electrodes into the defibrillator and then places the electrodes on the patient, allowing the defibrillator to deliver defibrillation. Once professional medical personnel arrive, the patient is transferred to an ambulance, and the defibrillation electrodes are removed from the AED and connected to a mobile external defibrillator (MED) in the ambulance for continued treatment.

[0003] In order to enable medical staff to better understand the quality of on-site emergency care, AEDs generally collect and store some treatment information for use in the MEDs transferred to the ambulance.

[0004] Current technical solutions typically involve reading treatment information stored in the AED (Automated External Defibrillator) via an intermediate storage medium such as a USB flash drive, and then connecting it to the MED (Multi-Edge Defibrillator) in the ambulance to retrieve the treatment information. However, transferring treatment information via an intermediate storage medium is not convenient enough. Therefore, new technical solutions are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0047] According to a second aspect, one embodiment provides a defibrillation electrode assembly, including a first connection terminal group, an auxiliary sensor, an information readable and writable component, and at least one pair of defibrillation electrode pads;

[0048] The first connection terminal group is used to connect to the defibrillator host. The first connection terminal group includes a first connection terminal and a second connection terminal. The first connection terminal is connected to the defibrillator electrode pads, and the second connection terminal is connected to the auxiliary sensor. The information read / write component is connected to the auxiliary sensor.

[0049] Wherein, when the first connection terminal group is connected to the first defibrillator:

[0054] In some embodiments, the defibrillator electrode assembly further includes an information read-only component, and the second connection terminal is also connected to the information read-only component;

[0055] When the first connection terminal group is connected to the first defibrillator: the information read-only component can be connected to the first defibrillator via the second connection terminal, so that the first defibrillator reads the information related to the defibrillator electrode pads stored in the information read-only component.

[0056] According to a third aspect, one embodiment provides a defibrillation system, characterized in that it includes: a defibrillation host and a defibrillation accessory; the defibrillation accessory is a defibrillation electrode assembly as described in the first aspect.

[0057] In some embodiments, the defibrillator has a connector socket, the connector plug includes a head and a tail, at least a portion of the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal are disposed at the head of the connector plug such that when the head of the connector plug is mated and inserted into the connector socket, the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal can be connected to the defibrillator; the information read / write component is disposed at the tail of the connector plug.

[0058] The connector socket is also capable of mating with an old-style connector plug of an old-style defibrillator accessory, the old-style connector plug including a head and a tail; wherein the head of the old-style connector plug is the same size as the head of the connector plug for mating with the connector socket, and the tail of the old-style connector plug is smaller in length and / or width than the tail of the connector plug for configuring an information read-only component and not configuring an information read-write component.

[0059] According to the defibrillator electrode assembly and defibrillation system of the above embodiments, since the connector plug of the defibrillator electrode assembly contains a read / write component, when the connector plug is connected to the first defibrillator, the read / write component can store treatment-related information transmitted by the first defibrillator. When the connector plug is connected to the second defibrillator, the read / write component can provide the stored treatment-related information to the second defibrillator. Because the connector plug of the defibrillator electrode assembly can be connected to different defibrillators, when transferring treatment-related information based on the read / write component within the connector plug, no additional intermediate storage medium is required; the connector plug of the defibrillator electrode assembly can be directly connected to different defibrillators, thus making the transfer of treatment-related information more convenient. Similarly, the read / write component can also be connected to an auxiliary sensor, and treatment-related information can be transferred to the second defibrillator without an additional intermediate storage medium.

[0075] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present 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 the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; the relevant operations can be fully understood based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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).

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, by configuring a storage medium within the connector plug of the defibrillator electrode assembly, when the connector plug is connected to the current defibrillator, treatment information transmitted by the current defibrillator can be stored on the storage medium. When the connector plug is connected to other defibrillators, the treatment information stored on the storage medium is then transmitted to those other defibrillators. Since the connector plug of the defibrillator electrode assembly can be connected to different defibrillators, no additional intermediate storage medium is needed when transferring treatment information based on the storage medium within the connector plug; the connector plug can be directly connected to different defibrillators, making the transfer of treatment information more convenient. Furthermore, since the connector plug already requires interfacing with the defibrillator and necessitates a built-in hardware circuit structure, adding a storage medium to the connector plug typically does not require significant modifications. Conversely, while the electrode body has ample space, it is entirely used for contact with the patient for high-voltage discharge. Therefore, it is not advisable to place too much hardware circuitry on it; otherwise, more protective designs would be required. If the storage medium is placed on the electrode body, it would increase the cost and instability of the solution.

[0079] Some embodiments provide a defibrillator electrode assembly that can be used in conjunction with a defibrillator host, enabling the defibrillator host to perform functions such as defibrillation through the defibrillator electrode assembly. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 The defibrillator electrode assembly includes a connector plug 10 and at least one pair of defibrillator electrodes 20, which are described in detail below.

[0080] The connector plug 10 is used to connect to the defibrillator, for example, the defibrillator has a corresponding connector socket, wherein the connector plug 10 and the connector socket are matched and corresponding in the connection structure, so that the connector plug 10 can be effectively plugged into the connector socket.

[0081] In some embodiments, the connector plug 10 can be a male connector, and the corresponding connector socket can be a female connector. In other embodiments, the connector plug 10 can also be a female connector, and the corresponding connector socket can be a male connector. When the connector plug 10 of the defibrillator electrode assembly is plugged into the connector socket on the defibrillator host, the defibrillator host can cooperate with the defibrillator electrode assembly to achieve various functions, such as data communication, power supply, defibrillation, patient monitoring, etc.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the connector plug 10 is equipped with a first connection terminal group and an information read / write component 30. The first connection terminal group is used for electrical connection of the connector plug 10. For example, when the connector plug 10 is plugged into the connector socket on the defibrillator, the first connection terminal group is electrically connected to the defibrillator for the transmission of electrical signals. The information read / write component 30 is used for writing and reading information. For example, the defibrillator can write information to the information read / write component 30, and the defibrillator can read information from the information read / write component 30.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first connection terminal group includes a first connection terminal 11 and a second connection terminal 12. The first connection terminal 11 is connected to the defibrillator electrode pad 20, and the second connection terminal 12 is connected to the information read / write component 30. In some embodiments, there are two defibrillator electrode pads 20, and the first connection terminal group also includes two first connection terminals 11, with one defibrillator electrode pad 20 connected to one first connection terminal 11. In some embodiments, there are also two second connection terminals 12, and the information read / write component 30 is connected to both second connection terminals 12.

[0084] The connector plug 10 can be matched and plugged into the connector sockets of different defibrillators, so that the first connection terminal group can be connected to different defibrillators. Based on the information read / write component 30, it can store information written by different defibrillators and provide the stored information to different defibrillators, thereby transferring information between different defibrillators. The following is a detailed description.

[0085] In some embodiments, the connector plug 10 is capable of mating and plugging into the connector socket of the first defibrillator, thereby connecting the first connection terminal group to the first defibrillator.

[0086] When the first connection terminal group is connected to the first defibrillator, the defibrillator electrode pad 20 can be connected to the first defibrillator via the first connection terminal 11, enabling the first defibrillator to perform defibrillation and / or monitoring functions based on the defibrillator electrode pad 20. The monitoring function may include the first defibrillator detecting the patient's electrocardiogram parameters based on the defibrillator electrode pad 20, and the defibrillation function may include the first defibrillator outputting defibrillation energy to the defibrillator electrode pad 20, causing the defibrillator electrode pad 20 to perform defibrillation based on this defibrillation energy. In some embodiments, the first defibrillator may be the defibrillator of an AED.

[0087] When the first connection terminal group is connected to the first defibrillator, the information read / write component 30 can be connected to the first defibrillator via the second connection terminal 12, allowing the first defibrillator to transmit treatment-related information to the information read / write component 30, which then stores the treatment-related information. In some embodiments, the information read / write component 30 can also provide the stored information to the first defibrillator.

[0088] In some embodiments, treatment-related information can characterize the treatment-related information that the first defibrillator needs to acquire during the treatment of the patient. In some embodiments, the treatment-related information can be acquired by the first defibrillator itself. For example, treatment-related information may include information acquired by the first defibrillator when performing defibrillation and / or monitoring functions. This information may include the contact impedance between the defibrillator electrode 20 and the patient, the patient's electrocardiogram data, the number of defibrillation discharges, the defibrillation discharge energy, and the patient's physiological state data. The patient's physiological state data can be used to determine the patient's state based on information acquired through monitoring functions, such as determining whether the patient is in a state of cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation. In some embodiments, treatment-related information may also be acquired by the first defibrillator based on auxiliary sensors. For example, treatment-related information may also include the first defibrillator monitoring the patient using auxiliary sensors to obtain corresponding auxiliary treatment information. For example, it may monitor the patient's cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compression data based on a CPR sensor. The CPR compression data includes compression pressure, number of compressions, and compression frequency.

[0089] In some embodiments, the information read / write component 30 stores not only treatment-related information transmitted by the first defibrillator host, but also information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20. This information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20 can characterize the manufacturing parameters of the defibrillator electrode pad 20. For example, the information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20 includes the production date information and / or type information of the defibrillator electrode pad 20. The type information refers to whether the defibrillator electrode pad 20 is an adult type or a pediatric type, which affects the discharge energy during defibrillation. For example, before performing defibrillation and / or monitoring functions based on the defibrillator electrode pad 20, the first defibrillator host can first obtain the production date information and / or type information of the defibrillator electrode pad 20. For example, it can determine whether the defibrillator electrode pad 20 is expired based on the production date information, and determine the discharge energy of the defibrillation function based on the type information.

[0090] In some embodiments, the connector plug 10 is capable of mating with the connector socket of the second defibrillator, thereby connecting the first connection terminal group to the second defibrillator.

[0091] When the first connection terminal group is connected to the second defibrillator, the information read / write component 30 can be connected to the second defibrillator via the first connection terminal group, enabling the second defibrillator to read the treatment-related information stored in the information read / write component 30. In some embodiments, the second defibrillator can be the defibrillator of an AED or the defibrillator of a MED (manual defibrillator) in an ambulance.

[0092] In some embodiments, when the first connection terminal group is connected to the second defibrillator, the second defibrillator can also read other information stored in the information read / write component 30, such as information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20.

[0093] In the above embodiments, when the connector plug 10 is connected to the first defibrillator, the first defibrillator can write the acquired treatment-related information to the information read / write component 30. When the connector plug 10 is connected to the second defibrillator, the information read / write component 30 can provide the stored treatment-related information to the second defibrillator. This transfers the treatment-related information acquired by the first defibrillator to the second defibrillator, allowing the second defibrillator to continue treating the patient based on the treatment-related information.

[0094] The above is an explanation of how the first connection terminal group connects to different defibrillator hosts. The following is an explanation of the information transmission process between the first defibrillator host and the first connection terminal group.

[0095] When the first connection terminal group is connected to the first defibrillator, the first defibrillator can perform defibrillation and / or monitoring functions based on the defibrillator electrode pads 20. However, the defibrillator electrode pad assembly may be removed from the first defibrillator at any time, for example, in the case of emergency patient care, it is necessary to transfer the patient to an ambulance in time, and at this time it is necessary to remove the connector plug 10 of the defibrillator electrode pad assembly.

[0096] Therefore, if the first defibrillator cannot write the appropriate treatment-related information to the information read / write component 30 before the defibrillator electrode assembly is removed, it will affect the second defibrillator's ability to read the treatment-related information, thus impacting subsequent emergency care. Therefore, the first defibrillator can be used to acquire current treatment-related information in real time and transmit updated treatment-related information to the information read / write component 30 according to preset update rules. The preset update rules are explained in detail below.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first defibrillator determines whether a portion of the preset defibrillation steps has been completed based on real-time acquired treatment-related information. Before defibrillating a patient, the defibrillator typically monitors relevant physiological parameters, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) data, and then assesses the patient's physiological state based on these parameters to determine if defibrillation can be performed directly. If so, defibrillation begins; otherwise, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is initiated, and the system reassesses whether defibrillation can proceed directly. Therefore, the defibrillator's defibrillation function involves multiple preset steps, each requiring the acquisition of corresponding treatment-related information. For example, the preset defibrillation steps may include physiological parameter monitoring, a determination of defibrillation eligibility, defibrillation itself, and CPR.

[0098] When the first defibrillator determines, based on real-time acquired treatment-related information, that it has completed some steps of the preset defibrillation process, it indicates that the treatment-related information acquired by the first defibrillator includes treatment-related information corresponding to at least one defibrillation step. Therefore, the current treatment-related information can be transmitted to the information read / write component 30 to meet the needs of the second defibrillator for reading treatment-related information. In some embodiments, the first defibrillator may transmit the previous treatment-related information to the information read / write component 30 when it determines that a defibrillation step has been completed, or it may transmit the previous treatment-related information to the information read / write component 30 only when it determines that two or more defibrillation steps have been completed.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first defibrillator determines whether a preset time has elapsed based on the real-time acquired treatment-related information. In some embodiments, the preset time can be the duration for which the first defibrillator acquires treatment-related information. For example, when the first defibrillator is continuously acquiring treatment-related information, it determines whether the continuous acquisition time has reached the preset time; similarly, when the first defibrillator is acquiring treatment-related information sequentially, it determines whether the accumulated acquisition time has reached the preset time. In some embodiments, the first defibrillator may also start timing from the moment it begins acquiring treatment-related information in real time and determine whether the preset time has elapsed.

[0100] If the preset time has elapsed based on the real-time acquired treatment-related information, it means that the first defibrillator has acquired treatment-related information corresponding to a certain time duration. Therefore, the current treatment-related information can be transmitted to the information read / write component 30 to meet the needs of the second defibrillator to read treatment-related information.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first defibrillator determines whether a preset amount of data has been acquired based on real-time acquired treatment-related information. In some embodiments, the preset amount of data can be configured based on the data transmission rate between the first defibrillator and the first connection terminal group, so that the preset amount of data can be transmitted within a preset time.

[0102] If the preset amount of data has been acquired based on the real-time acquired treatment-related information, it means that the first defibrillator has acquired a certain amount of treatment-related data. Therefore, the current treatment-related information can be transmitted to the information read / write component 30 to meet the needs of the second defibrillator to read treatment-related information.

[0103] In the above embodiments, the first defibrillator can transmit updated treatment-related information to the information read / write component 30 based on one or more of the preset update rules. For example, when a preset amount of treatment-related information is acquired, the updated treatment-related information is transmitted to the information read / write component 30. Then, when a preset duration of treatment-related information is acquired, the updated treatment-related information during that period is transmitted to the information read / write component 30 again. Furthermore, when treatment-related information for a portion of the steps is acquired, the updated treatment-related information during that period is transmitted to the information read / write component 30 again, thereby satisfying the different needs of the second defibrillator in reading treatment-related information.

[0104] The above describes how the first defibrillator transmits updated treatment-related information based on preset update rules.

[0105] In some embodiments, based on preset update rules, the transmission order between updated treatment-related information and other information can also be determined, as will be explained in detail below.

[0106] In some embodiments, when the information read / write component 30 also stores information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20, when the first connection terminal group is connected to the first defibrillator host, the first defibrillator host reads the information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20 stored in the information read / write component 30 at a first moment, and transmits treatment-related information to the information read / write component 30 at a second moment, so that the transmission of treatment-related information and the transmission of information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20 by the first connection terminal group are staggered.

[0107] In some embodiments, when the treatment-related information stored in the information read / write component 30 also includes auxiliary treatment information acquired by the first defibrillator based on auxiliary sensor monitoring, when the first connection terminal group is connected to the second defibrillator, the first defibrillator transmits relevant information acquired by the first defibrillator when performing defibrillation and / or monitoring functions to the information read / write component 30 at a second time, and transmits auxiliary treatment information to the information read / write component 30 at a third time, so that when the first connection terminal group transmits treatment-related information, the transmission of relevant information acquired by the first defibrillator when performing defibrillation and / or monitoring functions and the transmission of auxiliary treatment information are staggered.

[0108] In the above embodiments, when the information read / write component 30 also stores information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20, and the treatment-related information also includes auxiliary treatment information, the relevant information obtained by the first defibrillator host when performing defibrillation and / or monitoring functions, the information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20, and the auxiliary treatment information can be transmitted separately based on the above transmission method.

[0109] The above information serves different purposes. For example, information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20 is mainly used to identify whether the electrode pad has expired and to identify the type of electrode pad, so that the defibrillator can select an appropriate treatment strategy, such as selecting the appropriate defibrillation energy. Assistive treatment information is usually used to assess the quality of the current treatment operation, such as assessing whether the frequency and depth of CPR are adequate. Records of treatment-related information are usually not helpful for the current treatment and are mainly used for possible subsequent handover and review. Therefore, in order to ensure that various types of information are transmitted only when they are most needed, and to prevent the transmission of currently unimportant information from interfering with the transmission of important information, this invention classifies and transmits information in a time-series manner.

[0110] The above describes the information transmission between the first defibrillator and the first connection terminal group. The following describes the information transmission process between the second defibrillator and the first connection terminal group.

[0111] When the first connection terminal group is connected to the second defibrillator, the information read / write component 30 can be connected to the second defibrillator through the first connection terminal group, so that the second defibrillator can read the treatment-related information stored in the information read / write component 30.

[0112] However, since the information read / write component 30 may store a lot of treatment-related information, the second defibrillator needs to prioritize reading the relatively important information. For example, in the scenario of emergency patient care, when the patient is transferred to an ambulance, it is necessary to prioritize reading the treatment-related information in the defibrillator electrode assembly that is highly relevant to the current emergency care in order to meet the needs of the current emergency care.

[0113] In some embodiments, the treatment-related information includes a first type of information with a first degree of relevance to the current emergency care and a second type of information with a second degree of relevance to the current emergency care, wherein the first degree of relevance is greater than the second degree of relevance. When the first connection terminal group is connected to the second defibrillator, the second defibrillator is used to preferentially read the first type of information in the treatment-related information stored in the information read / write component 30.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first type of information may include information related to the patient's current emergency treatment. For example, the first type of information may include the patient's recent physiological state data to determine the patient's status after emergency treatment, such as whether the patient is still in cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation. The first type of information may also include the number of defibrillation discharges and the defibrillation energy to obtain the patient's defibrillation status. In some embodiments, the second type of information may include information that has less impact on the current emergency treatment, such as the patient's electrocardiogram data and CPR compression data. Therefore, the second defibrillator needs to prioritize reading the first type of information before reading the second type of information to meet the needs of the current emergency treatment.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first type of information may include multiple different pieces of information. Therefore, when transmitting the first type of information, each piece of information can be transmitted in a certain order. For example, each piece of information in the first type of information has its own priority, and when the second defibrillator reads the first type of information, it can read each piece of information in the first type of information sequentially according to the priority and the amount of data of each piece of information.

[0116] In some embodiments, the information in the first type of information can be read sequentially according to priority. For example, when the priorities of the information are different, the information with higher priority is read first; when the priorities of the information are the same, the information with smaller data volume is read first. In other embodiments, the information in the first type of information can be read sequentially according to data volume. For example, when the data volumes of the information are different, the information with smaller data volume is read first; when the data volumes of the information are the same, the information with higher priority is read first. Therefore, when reading the information in the first type of information, both the data volume and priority of the information are considered, allowing the second defibrillator to acquire more information or more important information from the first type of information within the same time frame, thus better meeting the current emergency needs.

[0117] In some embodiments, when the first connection terminal group is connected to the second defibrillator, the defibrillator electrode 20 can be connected to the second defibrillator through the first connection terminal group, so that the second defibrillator can continue to perform defibrillation and / or monitoring functions based on the defibrillator electrode 20 and obtain corresponding treatment-related information.

[0118] In some embodiments, the information read / write component 30 also stores information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20. When the first connection terminal group is connected to the second defibrillator, the second defibrillator needs to obtain the information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20, so that defibrillation and / or monitoring functions can also be achieved based on the defibrillator electrode pads 20. Specifically, when the first connection terminal group receives a first read command sent by the second defibrillator, the information read / write component 30 provides the second defibrillator with information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20. When the first connection terminal group receives a second read command sent by the second defibrillator, the information read / write component 30 provides the first defibrillator with treatment-related information. In some embodiments, the second defibrillator can also read the information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20 from the information read-only component, which will not be elaborated here.

[0119] In some embodiments, the second defibrillator concatenates at least a portion of the treatment-related information obtained after connecting the first connection terminal group to the second defibrillator with the treatment-related information read from the information read / write unit 30. That is, it concatenates the treatment-related information obtained by the first defibrillator and the treatment-related information obtained by the second defibrillator to obtain continuous treatment-related information, thereby allowing treatment to continue based on this continuous information. In some embodiments, when concatenating the treatment-related information, identical information within the treatment-related information can be concatenated separately based on chronological order.

[0120] In some embodiments, the second defibrillator may also assign a first identifier to the treatment-related information it acquires, and a second identifier to the treatment-related information read from the information read / write component 30, thereby identifying the treatment-related information acquired by different defibrillators based on different identifiers for easy viewing. For example, the first and second identifiers may be different color identifiers, text identifiers, pattern identifiers, etc.

[0121] The above is an explanation of how connector plug 10 connects to different defibrillator units to transfer treatment-related information.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the defibrillator electrode assembly further includes an information-only read-only component 50, and the second connection terminal 12 is also connected to the information-only read-only component 50. For example, the information-only read-only component 50 may also be configured in the connector socket 10, or it may be configured in other locations, such as independently, or it may be configured on the defibrillator electrode 20. When the first connection terminal group is connected to the defibrillator host, the information-only read-only component 50 can be connected to the first defibrillator host via the second connection terminal 12, allowing the first defibrillator host to read the information related to the defibrillator electrode 20 stored in the information-only read-only component 50. When the information-only read-only component 50 is connected to the defibrillator host, the defibrillator host can typically only read the information stored in the information-only read-only component 50 and cannot write information to the information-only read-only component 50.

[0123] In some embodiments, the defibrillator needs to acquire information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20 before implementing defibrillation and / or monitoring functions based on the electrode pads 20. For example, it might need to confirm the expiration date of the electrode pads 20 based on their production date, or confirm the type of the electrode pads 20. To ensure the security of information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20, this information can be stored in a read-only component 50, allowing the defibrillator to read only this information. For example, the read-only component 50 includes a read-only memory, and the read-write component 30 includes a read-write memory. Alternatively, both the read-only component 50 and the read-write component 30 may include read-write memory, but the read-only component 50 requires corresponding permissions to write information; therefore, it can also be considered that the defibrillator can only read the information stored in the read-only component 50.

[0124] While in some embodiments all necessary information can be stored in the information read / write component 30, such components are typically high-performance storage chips. Information such as that related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20 is very simple; the production date or type of the electrode pad 20 can be identified by simple electrical signals. Therefore, in some conventional solutions, the information read-only component 50 includes one or more of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The resulting simple circuitry presents information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20 by adjusting the resistance, capacitance, or inductance of the information read-only component 50. Consequently, some conventional defibrillator controllers can only acquire information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20 based on the electrical signal characteristics exhibited under a given voltage or current. Considering the compatibility of different defibrillator controllers and different defibrillator electrodes, it may be difficult to uniformly use the information read / write component 30 to store all information. Therefore, in some embodiments, the traditional information read-only component 50 is retained to store information related to the defibrillator electrode pad 20 based on the electrical signal characteristics exhibited under a given voltage or current, while the information read / write component 30 is added to store treatment-related information.

[0125] In some embodiments, the second connection terminal 12 is connected to the information readable and writable component 30, and the second connection terminal 12 is also connected to the information read-only component 50. This can mean that hardware support is provided for the connection between the second connection terminal 12 and the information readable and writable component 30, and hardware support is provided for the connection between the second connection terminal 12 and the information read-only component 50.

[0126] In the above embodiments, since the information read / write component 30 and the information read-only component 50 transmit information together based on the second connection terminal 12, the number of terminals in the first connection terminal group will not increase. This allows the connector plug 10 to still be matched and plugged into the connector socket of the defibrillator. This not only takes into account the compatibility of different defibrillators in data reading, but also takes into account the compatibility of different defibrillators in physical connection.

[0127] Since the information read / write component 30 and the information read-only component 50 jointly transmit information based on the second connection terminal 12, the second connection terminal 12 needs to be multiplexed to transmit the information corresponding to the information read / write component 30 and the information read-only component 50 respectively. The multiplexing of the second connection terminal 12 will be explained in detail below.

[0128] In some embodiments, when the first connection terminal group is connected to the defibrillator, when the first connection terminal group receives a first electrical signal sent by the defibrillator, the information read-only component 50 provides the first defibrillator with information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20. When the first connection terminal group receives a second electrical signal sent by the first defibrillator, the information read-write component 30 receives treatment-related information transmitted by the first defibrillator.

[0129] In some embodiments, when both the information read / write component 30 and the information read-only component 50 include memory, information transmission between the information read / write component 30 and the information read-only component 50 and the defibrillator can be performed via a communication bus. When the second connection terminal 12 receives a first electrical signal, the information read-only component 50 responds to the first electrical signal and provides information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20 based on the second connection terminal 12. When the second connection terminal 12 receives a second electrical signal, the information read / write component 30 responds to the second electrical signal and provides treatment-related information based on the second connection terminal 12.

[0130] In some embodiments, when the information read-only component 50 includes one or more of a resistor, capacitor, and inductor, and the information read-write component 30 includes a read-write memory, a conduction or open circuit can also be formed between the second connection terminal 12 and the information read-write component 30, and between the second connection terminal 12 and the information read-only component 50, based on a signal.

[0131] When the first connection terminal group is connected to the defibrillator, when the first connection terminal group receives a first electrical signal sent by the first defibrillator, the information read / write component 30 forms an open circuit with the first defibrillator, and the information read-only component 50 is connected to the first defibrillator through the second connection terminal 12, so that the first defibrillator reads the information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20 stored in the information read-only component 50. When the first connection terminal group receives a second electrical signal sent by the first defibrillator, the information read / write component 30 forms a loop with the first defibrillator, so that the first defibrillator transmits treatment-related information to the information read / write component 30.

[0132] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the information read / write component 30 includes a read / write memory 31 and a first switching circuit 32. The first switching circuit 32 is turned off in response to a first electrical signal and turned on in response to a second electrical signal. For example, the first switching circuit 32 can be implemented based on switching devices such as field-effect transistors or transistors. For this first switching circuit 32, the corresponding first electrical signal and second electrical signal can be a high-level signal and a low-level signal, respectively.

[0133] In some embodiments, the information read-only component 50 includes a resistor. In some embodiments, the information read-only component 50 includes a resistor and an inductor connected in series. In some embodiments, the information read-only component 50 includes a resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel.

[0134] In the example where the information-only reading component 50 includes a resistor R1, when the information-only reading component 50 provides information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20 to the defibrillator host via the second connection terminal 12, different resistance values ​​of the resistor R1 will affect the voltage across its terminals, and different voltage values ​​can correspond to different information. Therefore, the defibrillator host can obtain information related to the defibrillator electrode pads 20 by directly or indirectly detecting the voltage across the resistor R1. This applies to examples where the information-only reading component 50 includes only a resistor R1, examples where the information-only reading component 50 includes a resistor R1 and an inductor L1, and examples where the information-only reading component 50 includes a resistor R1 and a capacitor C1.

[0135] In the example where the information-only reading component 50 includes a resistor R1 and an inductor L1, the first electrical signal can include a DC voltage signal or an AC voltage signal. When the first connection terminal group receives a DC voltage signal, the information-only reading component 50 provides information related to the defibrillator electrode 20 to the defibrillator host via the second connection terminal 12. This can be achieved by directly or indirectly detecting the voltage across the series-connected resistor R1 and inductor L1, thus obtaining the corresponding information—in this case, the actual reflection is the resistance value of resistor R1. When an AC voltage signal is received, the information-only reading component 50 provides information related to the defibrillator electrode 20 to the defibrillator host via the second connection terminal 12. This can be achieved by directly or indirectly detecting the voltage across the series-connected resistor R1 and inductor L1, thus obtaining the corresponding information—in this case, the actual reflection is the impedance of inductor L1, thus obtaining the corresponding information. In this example, different resistance values ​​of resistor R1 and different impedances of inductor L1 can be used to characterize different information related to the defibrillator electrode 20. In some embodiments, the first electrical signal may include a DC voltage signal and an AC voltage signal. When the first connection terminal group receives the DC voltage signal, the information reading component 50 provides a portion of the information related to the defibrillator electrode 20 to the defibrillator host through the second connection terminal 12, such as the type information of the defibrillator electrode 20. When the first connection terminal group receives the AC voltage signal, the information reading component 50 provides another portion of the information related to the defibrillator electrode 20 to the defibrillator host through the second connection terminal 12, such as the production date information of the defibrillator electrode 20.

[0136] Similarly, in the example where the information-only reading component 50 includes a resistor R1 and a capacitor C1, the first electrical signal may include a DC voltage signal or an AC voltage signal. When the first connection terminal group receives a DC voltage signal, the information-only reading component 50 provides information related to the defibrillator electrode 20 to the defibrillator host via the second connection terminal 12, possibly by directly or indirectly detecting the voltage across the resistor R1—in this case, the actual response is the resistance value of the resistor R1. When the first connection terminal group receives an AC voltage signal, the information-only reading component 50 provides information related to the defibrillator electrode 20 to the defibrillator host via the second connection terminal 12, possibly by directly or indirectly detecting the voltage across the capacitor C1—in this case, the actual response is the impedance of the capacitor C1—in this case, the actual response is the impedance of the capacitor C1. In such examples, different resistance values ​​of the resistor R1 and different impedances of the inductor L1 can be used to characterize different information related to the defibrillator electrode 20. In some embodiments, the first electrical signal may include both a DC voltage signal and an AC voltage signal, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0137] The above is a description of the defibrillator electrode assembly, which also includes an information read-only component 50.

[0138] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the defibrillator electrode assembly may further include an auxiliary sensor 40, and the second connection terminal 12 is also connected to the auxiliary sensor 40. For example, the auxiliary sensor 40 may be configured independently of the connector socket 10. When the first connection terminal group is connected to the first defibrillator, the auxiliary sensor 40 can be connected to the first defibrillator via the second connection terminal 12, allowing the first defibrillator to acquire the auxiliary treatment information monitored by the auxiliary sensor 40. The auxiliary sensor 40 is used to assist the defibrillator in performing treatment; for example, the auxiliary sensor 40 may include a cardiopulmonary resuscitation sensor.

[0139] In some embodiments, the second connection terminal 12 is connected to the information readable and writable component 30, and the second connection terminal 12 is also connected to the auxiliary sensor 40. This can mean that hardware support is provided for the connection between the second connection terminal 12 and the information readable and writable component 30, and hardware support is provided for the connection between the second connection terminal 12 and the auxiliary sensor 40.

[0140] In the above embodiments, since the information read / write component 30 and the auxiliary sensor 40 transmit information together based on the second connection terminal 12, the number of terminals in the first connection terminal group will not increase, so that the connector plug 10 can still be matched and plugged into the connector socket of the defibrillator, thus taking into account the compatibility of different defibrillators.

[0141] Since the information read / write component 30 and the auxiliary sensor 40 jointly transmit information based on the second connection terminal 12, the second connection terminal 12 needs to be multiplexed to transmit the information corresponding to the information read / write component 30 and the auxiliary sensor 40 respectively. The multiplexing of the second connection terminal 12 will be explained in detail below.

[0142] In some embodiments, when the first connection terminal group is connected to the defibrillator, when the first connection terminal group receives a second electrical signal sent by the first defibrillator, the information read / write unit 30 receives treatment-related information transmitted by the defibrillator. When the first connection terminal group receives a third electrical signal sent by the first defibrillator, the auxiliary sensor 40 provides auxiliary treatment information to the first defibrillator. For example, the information read / write unit 30 and the auxiliary sensor 40 transmit information to the defibrillator via a bus. When the second connection terminal 12 receives the third electrical signal, the auxiliary sensor 40 responds to the third electrical signal and provides auxiliary treatment information based on the second connection terminal 12. When the second connection terminal 12 receives the second electrical signal, the information read / write unit 30 responds to the second electrical signal and provides treatment-related information based on the second connection terminal 12.

[0143] In some embodiments, the second connection terminal 12 and the information read / write component 30, as well as the second connection terminal 12 and the auxiliary sensor 40, can also form a conduction or open circuit based on signals.

[0144] When the first connection terminal group is connected to the defibrillator, when the first connection terminal group receives the third electrical signal sent by the first defibrillator, the auxiliary sensor 40 forms a circuit with the first defibrillator, so that the auxiliary sensor 40 can communicate with the first defibrillator through the second connection terminal 12 to provide auxiliary treatment information to the first defibrillator.

[0145] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the information read / write component 30 includes a read / write memory and a first switching circuit 32, and the auxiliary sensor 40 has a second switching circuit 42. The first switching circuit 32 is disconnected in response to a first electrical signal or a third electrical signal and is turned on in response to a second electrical signal. The second switching circuit 42 is disconnected in response to a first electrical signal or a second electrical signal and is turned on in response to a third electrical signal. For example, both the first switching circuit 32 and the second switching circuit 42 can be implemented based on switching devices such as field-effect transistors or transistors. For the first switching circuit 32, the corresponding first and third electrical signals are at the same level, and it and the second electrical signal can be high-level and low-level signals, respectively. For the second switching circuit 42, the corresponding first or second electrical signal is at the same level, and it and the third electrical signal can be high-level and low-level signals, respectively. In this embodiment, the information read / write component 30, the information read-only component 50, and the auxiliary sensor 40 can be multiplexed based on the first electrical signal, the second electrical signal, and the third electrical signal and their corresponding methods, respectively. Alternatively, they can be multiplexed together. For example, the information read-only component 50 and the auxiliary sensor 40 can be multiplexed based on the first electrical signal and the third electrical signal and their corresponding methods, respectively.

[0146] In some embodiments, the auxiliary sensor 40 can communicate with the defibrillator via the second connection terminal 12 and also be powered by the defibrillator. That is, the auxiliary sensor 40 can obtain power from the first defibrillator through the second connection terminal 12 and communicate with the first defibrillator through the second connection terminal 12 to provide auxiliary treatment information to the first defibrillator, so that power supply and communication are multiplexed based on the second connection terminal 12.

[0147] In some embodiments, when power supply and communication are multiplexed, when the auxiliary sensor 40 communicates with the first defibrillator, the first defibrillator modulates the information to be sent onto the power supply electrical signal and transmits it to the auxiliary sensor 40, and the auxiliary sensor 40 receives the modulated signal modulated onto the power supply electrical signal and demodulates it, thereby enabling communication while power is supplied.

[0148] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the auxiliary sensor 40 has a communication circuit 43 for data communication with the first defibrillator via a second connection terminal 12; the communication circuit 43 is used to modulate preset parameters onto a powered electrical signal for transmission, and to receive and demodulate the modulated signal modulated onto the powered electrical signal. In some embodiments, the communication circuit 43 may be implemented based on a carrier chip. Figure 8 As shown, the auxiliary sensor 40 includes a sensor body 41, a second switching circuit 42, and a communication circuit 43.

[0149] For example, information can be coupled to the electrical signal of the power supply, so that information or data communication can be carried out at the same time as power supply, without affecting the power supply itself. Figure 9 Here are some relevant examples, in Figure 9 The graph in the upper left corner shows the supply voltage VCC, and the graph in the lower left corner shows the information or data to be transmitted. Figure 9 The graph in the upper right corner is an example of modulating the information to be transmitted onto the power supply electrical signal. Figure 9 The graph in the lower right corner is an example of modulating the information to be transmitted onto the electrical signal supplied with power.

[0150] The above is an explanation of the defibrillator electrode assembly, which also includes an auxiliary sensor 40, and the multiplexing of the auxiliary sensor 40 with the information read / write component 30.

[0151] In some embodiments, the defibrillator electrode assembly also includes an auxiliary sensor 40, which differs from the above embodiments in that the information read / write component 30 is disposed on the auxiliary sensor 40. The difference will be explained in detail below.

[0152] Please refer to Figure 10 The first connection terminal 11 is connected to the defibrillation electrode pad 20, the second connection terminal 12 is connected to the auxiliary sensor 40, and the information read / write component 30 is connected to the auxiliary sensor 40.

[0153] In some embodiments, when the first connection terminal group is connected to the first defibrillator, the auxiliary sensor 40 can be connected to the first defibrillator via the second connection terminal 12, allowing the first defibrillator to transmit defibrillator treatment information to the auxiliary sensor 40. The auxiliary sensor 40 receives the defibrillator treatment information and stores it in the information read / write component 30. The auxiliary sensor 40 is also used to store the monitored auxiliary treatment information in the information read / write component 30. In some embodiments, after the information read / write component 30 is configured on the auxiliary sensor 40, the information read / write component 30 can directly acquire and store the auxiliary treatment information monitored by the auxiliary sensor 40. However, when the information read / write component 30 needs to transmit information to the first defibrillator via the first connection terminal group, it connects to the first defibrillator via the auxiliary sensor 40, and the auxiliary sensor 40 acts as an intermediary for information relay. Of course, in other embodiments, the auxiliary treatment information monitored by the auxiliary sensor 40 can also be transmitted to the defibrillator for some processing first, and then transmitted back to the information read / write component 30 through the second connection terminal. Since the auxiliary sensor needs to store and transmit auxiliary treatment information, further storing the defibrillator treatment information does not require much modification to the auxiliary sensor, nor does it have compatibility issues with older products.

[0154] In some embodiments, when the first connection terminal group is connected to the second defibrillator, the information read / write component 30 can be connected to the second defibrillator via the first connection terminal group, enabling the second defibrillator to read treatment-related information stored in the information read / write component 30. This treatment-related information includes defibrillator treatment information and / or auxiliary treatment information. For example, the information read / write component 30 transmits the treatment-related information to the auxiliary sensor 40, and then the auxiliary sensor 40 transmits the treatment-related information to the second defibrillator.

[0155] In some embodiments, the defibrillator electrode assembly further includes an information-only read-only component 50, and a second connection terminal 12 is also connected to the information-only read-only component 50. When the first connection terminal group is connected to the first defibrillator, the information-only read-only component 50 can be connected to the first defibrillator via the second connection terminal 12, allowing the first defibrillator to read the information related to the defibrillator electrode 20 stored in the information-only read-only component 50. In this embodiment, the information-only read-only component 50 and the auxiliary sensor 40 can be multiplexed as described in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0156] The above is a description of the defibrillator electrode assembly, which also includes an auxiliary sensor 40, and the information read / write component 30 is disposed on the auxiliary sensor 40.

[0157] In the above embodiments, the defibrillator electrode assembly may also include an information read-only component 50 and an auxiliary sensor 40. In this case, the information read-write component 30, the information read-only component 50, and the auxiliary sensor 40 can be multiplexed together based on the second connection terminal 12. The multiplexing method can be the same as the multiplexing method in the above embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0158] The above is a brief description of the defibrillator electrode assembly. The defibrillator electrode assembly can also be combined with the defibrillator host to form a defibrillation system. The defibrillation system will be described in detail below.
