Abstract

The medical support device is detachably provided in a cradle device installed inside an ambulance, and is used in a state in which the medical support device is detached from the cradle device and a state in which the medical support device is attached to the cradle device. The medical support device operates in a first support mode when the medical support device is detached from the cradle device, and operates in a second support mode when the medical support device is attached to the cradle device. The medical support device displays a triage support screen for supporting triage on a display in the first support mode. Further, the medical support device displays any one of a monitoring support screen for monitoring an electrocardiogram, a FAST support screen for supporting a FAST, and a selection support screen for supporting selection of a transport destination on the display in the second support mode.

First claim

What is claimed is:

2 . The medical support device according to claim 1 , wherein treatment in the emergency medical care is classified into primary treatment and secondary treatment executed after the primary treatment, a medical support screen necessary for the primary treatment is set as the first medical support screen, and a medical support screen necessary for the secondary treatment is set as the second medical support screen.

3 . The medical support device according to claim 2 , wherein the primary treatment is treatment that is performed at a dispatch destination of an ambulance in which the emergency medical care is first required.

4 . The medical support device according to claim 2 , wherein the secondary treatment is treatment that is performed while a patient subjected to the primary treatment is transported to a medical facility by an ambulance.

5 . The medical support device according to claim 3 , which is detachably provided in the cradle device installed inside the ambulance, further comprising an attachment and detachment detection unit that detects attachment and detachment of the medical support device to and from the cradle device, wherein
the mode switching unit performs switching of the operation mode in accordance with the attachment and detachment of the medical support device to and from the cradle device.

6 . The medical support device according to claim 5 , wherein the mode switching unit switches the operation mode to the first support mode in the case where the medical support device is detached from the cradle device, and switches the operation mode to the second support mode in the case where the medical support device is attached to the cradle device.

7 . The medical support device according to claim 1 , wherein the first medical support screen includes a medical support screen for supporting triage for determining a priority of treatment of a patient.

8 . The medical support device according to claim 1 , wherein the first medical support screen includes a medical support screen for supporting life-saving treatment of a patient.

9 . The medical support device according to claim 1 , wherein the second medical support screen includes a monitoring support screen for supporting monitoring of vital information of a patient.

10 . The medical support device according to claim 9 , which is capable of receiving the vital information transmitted from a measurement device for measuring the vital information, wherein
the display control unit updates the monitoring support screen based on the received vital information.

11 . The medical support device according to claim 1 , wherein the second medical support screen includes a FAST support screen for supporting FAST that is a quick and simple inspection method performed using an ultrasonic inspection device.

12 .
