Abstract
A method of simultaneously presenting current and stored ECG waveform data on a portable, external defibrillator during a rescue. The stored ECG waveform data may also be used in a rescue or training exercise.
Description
- This application claims priority to provisional patent application entitled, “Defibrillator with Video Status Screen in Standby Mode” filed on Mar. 21, 2005 and assigned U.S. Application Ser. No. 60/663,908. The entire contents of the provisional patent application mentioned above are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention is generally directed to portable cardiac defibrillation systems with video displays, and relates more particularly to the use of video displays for supplying rapid standby status of a portable defibrillator through single-button activation while the defibrillator is in a non-operative state.
- Automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) are usually portable defibrillators that are designed to be operated by users with minimal training. AEDs are attached to a patient via electrode pads that allow an AED to send electrical shock energy to a patient for treating sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Because AEDs can be used by non-medical personnel, they are being deployed in a myriad of locations outside of traditional medical settings. As a result, more and more non-medical establishments are purchasing portable AEDs for deployment in non-medical environments. To facilitate this deployment in various non-medical environments, portable AEDs are typically only powered by stand alone battery systems.
- AEDs are usually standby devices that are used infrequently and that remain in storage for long periods of time. This standby storage time can be on the order of months or even years. Minimizing power consumed by the AED while it is in standby mode during storage may extend the battery life of the system and reserve battery power for rescue attempts using the AED.
- Since AEDs are in standby mode for long periods of time, knowing the operational status of a standby AED is very important. The operational status of an AED can be determined by various internal self tests. These tests may cover general operations, battery life, memories, software, etc. The results of these tests can be communicated to a user via simple interfaces, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), or via richer interfaces, such as video displays.
- The operation of rich user interfaces, such as video displays, generally requires additional processing power from the main processor of the AED. However, fully powering up the entire AED device may unnecessarily consume significant electrical power relative to the shelf life of a portable AED. In addition to the problem of fully powering up the entire AED device, another problem exists with conventional AEDs that display status information only during the full power up of the AED.
- Many conventional AEDs only provide status information prior to a rescue operation when the AED conducts self tests of its hardware, firmware, or software or any combination thereof. Conventional AEDs can also require a user to navigate through multiple menus in order to obtain status information about the AED.
- For example, to obtain status information of conventional AEDs, a user usually must wait while the AED conducts internal self-tests prior to the AED being placed in a fully operational state. Once these internal self-tests are completed, the user usually must navigate through several menus on the AED in order to view status information. And if the user only desired status information of the AED without the need of powering up the AED into its fully operational state, then the user would also need to activate a switch on the AED in order to place the AED back into a non-operative state. Waiting to place an AED back into its non-operative state or standby mode can be a significant problem in situations in which numerous AEDs are checked in a series or close in time.
- For example, a security guard making rounds in a multistory building to check status of AEDs on each floor could encounter significant delays or waiting periods with conventional AEDs. That is, with conventional AEDs that require full power operation to perform self-tests, navigation through numerous menus to obtain status information, and that require the user to turn-off the AEDs once they reach their fully operative state could require a significant amount of time of a security guard who is patrolling the multi-story building.
- Hence, there is a need in the art to provide rich status information, such as using a video display for presenting information about a portable AED and without consuming significant electrical power of the portable AED. There is also a need in the art for an AED that can provide rapid status information without requiring a user to navigate through complex or numerous menus. And a further need exists in the art for an AED that can provide status information without entering into a fully operational state and while the AED remains in a standby mode.
- The inventive status indicating system may comprise a portable automatic external defibrillator (AED) with a video display that presents status information fairly quickly in response to a single button activation and without the AED entering into a fully operational state. That is, the inventive status indicating system of a portable AED may display status information on a video display while the AED is in a non-operative state and without requiring navigation through any complex menus and without requiring any self-tests of the AED. A non-operative state of the AED usually includes situations in which the AED is performing less than all of its primary functions. For example, a non-operative state usually includes situations in which an AED is not performing a rescue on a patient. Functions that may occur during non-operative states in AEDs may include self-tests and active status indicator events.
- The video display may present status information with a graphical user interface while the AED is in the non-operative state. The status information may be presented upon activation of touch-screen technology or electromechanical inputs, such as buttons, built into the AED. When the AED is in a fully operational state, such as during a rescue, the video display may present live or stored electrocardiograms (ECGs).
- The inventive system may comprise a low-power standby processor for monitoring user inputs, controlling status indicators, and determining when to power up the main processor of the AED. The standby processor can perform basic operations, such as monitoring user inputs and controlling status indicators without having to power up all of the system elements of the AED. Status indicators and the status video display may present information about the AED such as the results of internal tests, memory tests and battery status that are performed prior to activation of a status button or touch-screen technology.
- When an operator requests the status of the AED, such as when a status button is activated by an operator, the AED may display status information on the video display. If the AED is in standby mode when the status display is requested by the operator, the low-power standby processor will activate the main processor only to display the status information on the video display and without causing the main processor to place the AED into a fully operational state. This activation of the main processor only to display status information, referred to as a standby status display, may conserve battery power of the AED system while still providing a rich video presentation of status information to the operator.
- The inventive status indicating system may comprise a video display positioned within an AED. The video display may comprise any type of changeable visual presentation technology that is capable of displaying text or graphic (or both) output from a computer processor. For example, the video display may comprise liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, plasma displays, flat-screen display technology, three-dimensional or holographic technology, video projection technology, cathode ray tube (CRT) technology, and other similar display technology.
- The display driver electronics, as well as the display itself, may provide for rapid update between images or frames so as to enable full-motion video when the AED is an fully operational state, such as during a rescue. A touch sensitive element may be positioned over, or incorporated within, the display as to enable touch-screen functionality for user inputs to the AED. Additionally, or in the alternative, user inputs may be accepted via buttons, switches, voice recognition, or other user input mechanisms known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
- According to another alternate exemplary aspect, the inventive status indicating system can comprise a speaker for presenting oral or audible status information from a speaker in addition, or in the alternative, to presenting status information on a video display. Such embodiments would operate similar to the ones mentioned above: oral or audible status indication can be provided fairly rapidly while the AED is in a non-operative state in response to activation of a button, such as status button or an on/off power button.

The display driver electronics, as well as the display itself, may provide for rapid update between images or frames so as to enable full-motion video when the AED is in a fully operational state. The video display may be used to display patient ECGs, operator instructions, system status, training scenarios, or other information, video or user interface elements relevant to the functionality or use of the AED.
- The inventive status indicating system may comprise a low power standby processor. The standby processor can react to operator inputs, power the main processor on and off to perform basic system status tests, power the main processor on and off for full operation of the AED, operate status indicators, and power the main processor for the purpose of only displaying a video status screen in certain situations. Performing these operations with the standby processor, which may be a very low power device, may conserve the AED's battery power and may extend battery life of the system.
- Turning now to the drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements,
FIG. 1 illustrates a plan view of anAED 100 with a built-invideo display 170 according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention. Thevideo display 170 may comprise any type of changeable visual presentation technology that is capable of displaying text or graphic (or both) output from a computer processor. For example, the video display may comprise liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, plasma displays, flat-screen display technology, three-dimensional or holographic technology, video projection technology, cathode ray tube (CRT) technology, and other similar display technology. - An operator may interact with the
AED 100 and navigate through menu and graphical user interfaces ondisplay 170 using a touch sensitive element overlaying, or incorporated into,video display 170 when the AED is in a fully operative state such as during a rescue. Additionally, or in the alternative, an operator may interact with theAED 100 and navigate menu and graphical user interfaces onvideo display 170 usingbuttons 180. - According to one inventive aspect of the status indicating system, an operator of an
AED 100 may obtain status information presented on thevideo display 170 of theAED 100 by pressing a single button or touching the touch screen 280 and without navigating through any menus on thevideo display 170 and while theAED 100 is in an non-operative state. A non-operative state of theAED 100 usually includes situations in which anAED 100 is not performing a rescue on a patient. To obtain this standby status information on thevideo display 170, an operator can touch thedisplay 170 or one of thebuttons 180 that may be designated as a “status information”button 180. - The standby processor and related circuitry is not illustrated in
FIG. 1 , but is contained within ahousing 110 of theAED 100. On/offbutton 130 may be used by an operator to switch AED 100 between operational mode and standby mode. While the on/off button appears to the user to turn off AED 100 completely, the AED may actually be placed into a standby mode or non-operative state where the main processor may be powered off and a very low power standby processor may be operating to monitor activation of the touch screen of the display or thestatus information button 180. - During standby operation, the standby processor (not illustrated in
FIG. 1 ) may power up the main processor only to perform periodic tests ofAED 100 such as memory, charging circuits, and battery power level. - During the periodic tests, the standby processor can power up the main processor for only performing these self tests without the entire AED entering into a fully operational state. In other alternative embodiments, the standby processor could perform these self tests without using the main processor.
- During standby operation, the standby processor may also use indicator light 140 to display overall system status, such as green illumination if all system tests pass or red illumination if
AED 100 requires attention due to a system test failure or a low battery warning. The standby processor may also audibly or aurally indicate the status of theAED 100 usingspeaker 160. For example, the standby processor may chirp thespeaker 160 when operator attention is required. - According to an alternate exemplary embodiment, the
speaker 160 can be used for presenting oral or audible status information in addition, or in the alternative, to presenting status information on thevideo display 170. It is envisioned that someAEDs 100 may not have avideo display 170 but will usually have aspeaker 160. In such embodiments, oral or audible status indication can be provided with thespeaker 160 in which themain processor 220 will supply appropriate audio signals that convey status information of theAED 100, similar to the information that would be conveyed with thevideo display 170. - To obtain status information from an the
AED 100, an operator can obtain such status information by depressing one or more ofbuttons 180. The standby processor may detect this request and activate themain processor 220 for only displaying a status report onvideo display 170 or presenting audio signals to thespeaker 160 that convey status of theAED 100. - While
AED 100 is in standby mode, the standby processor may detect that the operator has depressed on/offbutton 130. At this time, the standby processor may power on the main processor ofAED 100 placing the system in full operational mode, as in a rescue for a patient. In full operational mode,patient electrodes 125, which may attach to AED 100 viaconnector 120, can be used to monitor ECG information from a patient to determine if the patient's cardiac rhythm is suitable for defibrillation shock. If so, the operator may be instructed to pressshock button 150 to initiate an electrical shock through thepatient electrodes 125 attached atconnector 120. During this procedure, ECG information may be displayed onvideo display 170.Video display 170, along withspeaker 160, may also be used to present real-time instructions and feedback to the operator. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , this figure illustrates a functional block diagram of the processors and user interface elements according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention. In this exemplary embodiment, astandby processor 250 may accept user inputs, perform system tests by powering up themain processor 220, or activating themain processor 220 to display status information without placing theentire AED 100 into a fully operational state. WhileAED 100 is in standby mode, thestandby processor 250 may accept user inputs frombuttons 180, on/offbutton 130 andtouch screen 270. An operator may request the display of status information by depressing one or more ofuser input buttons 180. Thestandby processor 250 may detect a status request and activate themain processor 220 to only display a status report onvideo display 170. This display of status information about the AED may be performed by the lowpower standby processor 250 activating themain processor 220 and without placing theentire AED 100 into a fully operational state. - While
AED 100 is in standby mode,standby processor 250 may detect that the operator has depressed on/offbutton 130. At this time,standby processor 250 may power onmain processor 220 ofAED 100 placing the system in operational mode. While on/offbutton 130 can be used by thestandby processor 250 to powermain processor 220 on and off, the otheruser interface buttons 180 andtouch screen 170 may be used by both thestandby processor 250 and themain processor 220. For example,display driver 290, which can drivevideo display 170, may be addressed in standby mode by themain processor 220 for displaying standby status information. In full operational mode,main processor 220 can communicate with the display driver/processor 290 for displaying ECGs; operator instructions; menus; or other operational information, images, or video. Likewise, user inputs frombuttons 180 or touchsensitive element 270 may be monitored by bothmain processor 220 andstandby processor 250. - According to one exemplary embodiment of the invention,
standby processor 250 may comprise a general purpose processor such as the MSP430F1232, an ultra-low-power microcontroller, made by Texas Instruments. However, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate thatstandby processor 250 may comprise a microcontroller, microprocessor, DSP processor, application specific logic, programmable logic, or numerous other forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. -
Main processor 220 may comprise a general purpose processor but it may not be as lower power relative to thestandby processor 250. Themain processor 220 communicates with the display driver/processor 290. The display driver/processor 290 may comprise a video processor that has the sole function of controlling the operation of thevideo display 170. While the display driver/processor 290 is illustrated as a separate physical component relative to themain processor 220, one of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that thedisplay driver 290 could be part of themain processor 220 in other alternative embodiments (not illustrated). Similarly, though not illustrated, thestandby processor 250 could form a part of themain processor 220. That is, it is envisioned that themain processor 220 in future embodiments could comprise a low power, sleep mode similar to the one of thestandby processor 250. - Meanwhile,
memory 210 is illustrated as separate from, and could be shared by, bothstandby processor 250 andmain processor 220. However, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that each processor may 220, 250 have its own internal or external memory where each memory may be volatile, nonvolatile, or a combination thereof. These memories may or may not be shared between the two processors. Further, one or more memory ports (not illustrated) that are positioned on the outside of the housing for theAED 100 may be used for receiving one or more removable, portable memory devices, such as memory cards (not illustrated). Themain processor 220 or the standby processor 250 (or both) may read or write (or both) to the memory devices (not illustrated). - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , this figure illustrates anAED video display 170 for presenting an electrocardiogram (ECG) when theAED 100 is in a full operational mode according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention. During full operational mode, such as during a rescue,main processor 220 may be active. While in an active state,main processor 220 may provide information to present onvideo display 170 including patient ECG waveforms.AED 100 may displaylive ECG waveforms 340 from a patient onvideo display 170.AED 100 may also display recordedwaveforms 320 that are stored inmemory 210.Waveforms 320 stored inmemory 210 may be useful in reviewing a rescue event or for training an AED operator. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , this figure illustratesvideo display 170 for presentingstatus information 400 according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention.Standby processor 250 can respond to an operator's request to display the status ofAED 100 by presentingsystem status information 400 onvideo display 170. The status information may comprise information such asself test results 410,battery status 420, patient electrodepad expiration date 430, the presence or non-presence of electrode pads, or variousother system information 440 such as software or firmware (or both) version numbers and memory capacities. -
Standby processor 250 may display this status information screen onvideo display 170 by activating themain processor 220 and without placing theentire AED 100 into a full operational mode. During a full operational mode, such as during a rescue,main processor 220 can control thedisplay processor 290 to present rescue information such asECG waveforms FIG. 4 . -
FIG. 5 illustrates a logic flow diagram 500 of a method for presenting standby status information on avideo display 170 according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention. Logical flow diagram 500 highlights some key functional features ofstandby processor 250. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that process functions ofstandby processor 250 may comprise firmware code executing on a microcontroller, microprocessor, or DSP processor; state machines implemented in application specific or programmable logic; or numerous other forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In other words, the invention may be provided as a computer program which may include a machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which may be used to program a computer (or other electronic devices) to perform a process according to the invention. - The machine-readable medium may include, but is not limited to, floppy diskettes, optical disks, CD-ROMs, and magneto-optical disks, ROMs, RAMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, magnet or optical cards, flash memory, or other type of media/machine-readable medium suitable for storing electronic instructions.
- Certain steps in the processes or process flow described in all of the logic flow diagrams referred to below must naturally precede others for the invention to function as described. However, the invention is not limited to the order or number of the steps described if such order/sequence or number does not alter the functionality of the present invention. That is, it is recognized that some steps may not be performed, while additional steps may be added, or that some steps may be performed before, after, or in parallel other steps without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
- Further, one of ordinary skill in programming would be able to write such a computer program or identify the appropriate hardware circuits to implement the disclosed invention without difficulty based on the flow charts and associated description in the application text, for example. Therefore, disclosure of a particular set of program code instructions or detailed hardware devices is not considered necessary for an adequate understanding of how to make and use the invention. The inventive functionality of the claimed computer implemented processes will be explained in more detail in the following description in conjunction with the Figures illustrating process flows.
- Step 510 is the first step in the process and can comprise a waiting step. In this step,
standby processor 250 operates in a power saving sleep mode and can be woken by events that it acts upon briefly before returning back to the sleep mode. In the exemplary embodiment of the method illustrated inFIG. 5 , three events may activatestandby processor 250 from its sleep mode. These events include, but are not limited to, a power button event, a self test timer event, or a status request event. After an event that takesstandby processor 250 out of its sleep mode, thestandby processor 250 can activate themain processor 220. Once themain processor 220 is activated, it can determine what type of event awoke thestandby processor 250 from its sleep mode. Themain processor 220 andstandby processor 250 will eventually transition back throughstep 590 into the sleep mode ofstep 510 wherestandby processor 220 waits for the next wake event and themain processor 220 is deactivated or turned off completely to conserve power. - In
decision step 520,standby processor 250 activates themain processor 220 to determine what type of event is occurring. If the wake event comprises apower button 130 being pressed, the process continues to step 525 in which themain processor 220 enters into a full operational mode such as for a rescue event. In full operational mode,main processor 220 is powered on to perform the main operations ofAED 100. For example, main operations of theAED 100 can include patient heart rhythm analysis and possible delivery of defibrillation shocks to the patient. Once themain processor 220 is enabled,standby processor 250 transitions fromstep 525 intostep 590 wherestandby processor 250 returns to sleep mode ofstep 510. Functions ofstandby processor 250 may occur in parallel to operational functions ofmain processor 220. - If the wake event determined in
step 520 by themain processor 220 is a self test timer, themain processor 220 can perform periodic system tests starting withstep 530 where built-in self tests are performed. In an alternate embodiment, not illustrated, thestandby processor 250 could be designed to conduct these self tests alone and without using themain processor 250. - The self test timer can be internal to
standby processor 250 or it may be a circuit (not illustrated) that is external tostandby processor 250. An example of a period of the self test timer may be one day. According to this example, self tests would be performed once each day. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that this timer period may differ from this example and may be a constant or vary according to other system parameters without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. - The self tests performed according to the self test timer may include the
main processor 220testing system memory 210, validating software/firmware, checking charging circuits, or other internal tests ofAED 100. Next,standby processor 250 transitions to step 535 where battery tests are performed, and then to step 540 where patient electrode pads are tested. Then, in step 545, the results of these test functions may all be stored in thememory 210 ofAED 100. Once self tests are completed,standby processor 250 transitions from storage step 545 intostep 590 wherestandby processor 250 returns to sleep mode ofstep 510. - If the wake event determined in
step 520 is an operator status request, themain processor 220 can communicate with the display driver/processor 290 to present AED system status onvideo display 170. This starts with collecting the system information to display. According to one exemplary aspect of the inventive status indicating system, themain processor 220 andstandby processor 250 do not present any complex menus on thedisplay 170 so that an operator of an AED can readily obtain status information about theAED 100 from a single press of abutton 180 or activation of atouch screen 270 without navigating through complex menus and without themain processor 220 performing any time-consuming and power-consuming self tests. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated inFIG. 5 , collecting information to display begins instep 570 in which information is usually recalled frommemory 210 bymain processor 220 based on a prior periodic test, as discussed above in step 545. - In
step 575, information collected or recalled instep 570 may be formatted for presentation onvideo display 170. Finally, instep 580, the status information is displayed to the operator. This presentation of information on thedisplay 170 may continue until a display timer expires or the operator presses one ofbuttons 180 again ortouch screen 270. An example of the duration for the display can be between ten and thirty seconds. According to a preferred exemplary embodiment, the duration is ten seconds. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that this duration for displaying status information may differ from this example and may be a constant or a variable length without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. At completion of the display of status information,standby processor 250 transitions fromdisplay step 580 intostep 590 wherestandby processor 250 returns to the sleep mode ofstep 510. - Referring now to
FIG. 6 , this figure illustrates a functional block diagram of the standby status processor, video display and a light sensor for detecting the ambient environment. Prior to requesting themain processor 220 to present status information onvideo display 170,standby processor 250 may samplelight sensor 610 to determine the ambient light level around theAED 100. -
Display driver 290 may control the intensity, brightness, and/or contrast ofvideo display 170.Standby processor 250 can set these parameters withindisplay driver 290 based on ambient light levels sampled fromlight sensor 610. Thestandby processor 250 can also store these parameters inmemory 210 so that themain processor 220 can access them when it is in a full operative state, such as during a rescue. This environmentally responsive determination of display parameters may provide for a morereadable video display 170. This feature may also conserve AED battery power, for example, by providing a dimmer display in a dark environment of theAED 100. - Alternative embodiments of the inventive system will become apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains without departing from its spirit and scope. Thus, although this invention has been described in exemplary form with a certain degree of particularity, it should be understood that the present disclosure has been made only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts or steps may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
