Abstract

A defibrillating system includes a processor coupled to a memory. The processor and the memory are configured to identify a treatment event associated with treatment of a victim with the defibrillating system, and transmit a representation of a portion of an ECG signal associated with the identified treatment event. In some cases, the processor and the memory are configured to identify the portion of the ECG signal associated with the identified treatment event. In some cases, the portion of the ECG signal is of a predetermined length of time having a start time and an end time based on a time associated with the identified treatment event.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A defibrillating system comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a catalog of representations of one or more portions of physiological signals; and
a processor coupled to a memory, the processor and the memory configured to:
determine that treatment of a patient using the defibrillating system is completed; and
upon determining that treatment of the patient using the defibrillating system is complete, adding, to the catalog, data representing a portion of a physiological signal obtained by the defibrillating system during treatment of the patient.

2. The defibrillating system of claim 1 , wherein the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals are associated with respective identification data comprising one or more of a timestamp, a characteristic of the portion of the physiological signal, an identification of the patient, a treatment event, or narrative information.

3. The defibrillating system of claim 2 , wherein the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals are organized in the catalog based on the identification data associated with each representation.

4. The defibrillating system of claim 3 , wherein the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals in the catalog are organized as a chronological timeline comprising one or more treatment events.

5. The defibrillating system of claim 2 , wherein the characteristic of the portion of the physiological signal comprises an indication of a type of cardiac rhythm represented by the portion of the physiological signal.

6. The defibrillating system of claim 5 , wherein the type of cardiac rhythm comprises a shockable cardiac rhythm or a non-shockable cardiac rhythm.

7. The defibrillating system of claim 2 , wherein the characteristic of the portion of the physiological signal comprises a type of the physiological signal.

8. The defibrillating system of claim 2 , wherein the characteristic of the portion of the physiological signal comprises an indication of a treatment period of the patient for the portion of the physiological signal.

9. The defibrillating system of claim 1 , wherein providing a representation of the portion of the physiological signal comprises displaying the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals in the catalog on a display interface of the defibrillating system.

10. The defibrillating system of claim 9 , further comprising a control for interacting with the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals in the catalog.

11. The defibrillating system of claim 9 , comprising displaying the identification data on the display interface of the defibrillating system.

12. The defibrillating system of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting catalog data of the catalog to a remote computing device.

13. The defibrillating system of claim 1 , wherein a type of the physiological signal comprises one or more of an ECG signal, an SpO 2 signal, a CO 2 signal, a ventilation signal, and a chest compression signal.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for causing a defibrillating system to:
determine that treatment of a patient using the defibrillating system is completed; and
upon determining that treatment of the patient using the defibrillating system is complete, adding, to a catalog, data representing a portion of a physiological signal obtained by the defibrillating system during treatment of the patient, the catalog comprising representations of one or more portions of physiological signals.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals are associated with respective identification data comprising one or more of a timestamp, a characteristic of the portion of the physiological signal, an identification of the patient, a treatment event, or narrative information.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals are configured to be organized in the catalog based on the identification data associated with each representation.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals in the catalog are organized as a chronological timeline comprising one or more treatment events.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein providing a representation of the portion of the physiological signal comprises displaying the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals in the catalog on a display interface of the defibrillating system.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18 , further comprising a control for interacting with the representations of the one or more portions of the physiological signals in the catalog.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18 , further comprising transmitting catalog data of the catalog to a remote computing device.
