Pre and In Hospital Real-Time Patient Vital Signs and Events Data Collection Systems

I) Pre-Hospital Vital Signs Data Collection Network

1. Pre-hospital In-Flight and Ambulance Patient Information Collection Network www.vsdr.org
   
   
2. Pre-hospital automatic patient Vital Signs data collection system
   
   
   
   
   
3. Pre-hospital VS list and events markers:
   - Trended VS collected every second (HR, SpO2, SpO2-PR, ECG-HR, ETCO2, BP, Temp)
   - Waveforms collected 182 points per second (ECG1, ECG2, SpO2, CO2)
   
   
   
   
4.  VSDR viewer
   
   

II) In-Hospital real-time patient VS data collection network
