Medical procedures monitoring and recording device

Abstract

Abstract A device for recording and monitoring medical procedures, particularly during emergency treatment, including a keyboard with several groups of keys, one group representing different medical treatments, another representing different medications, another representing various dosages, as for example in c.c.'s and one representing numerical digits. When the keys are depressed a signal is transmitted to a microprocessor which routes it to a LED digital display for visual confirmation. Then, an "Enter" key, which is pressed at the time the treatment is actually effected, transmits the signals representing treatment, dosage, etc. selected by the depressed keys to the microprocessor which transmits the data, along with signals representative of the time of day from a clock circuit, simultaneously to a thermal printing device and to a tape recorder. In the meantime, signals from an external electrocardiogram machine are continuously being transmitted to the tape recorder to be recorded on a second channel.
