Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for supporting lifesaving measures using an automatic external defibrillator.

  Ventricular fibrillation occurs, for example, due to myocardial infarction, coronary insufficiency, or various types of drug poisoning, etc., where the ventricle does not perform consistent contraction, and the muscles of each part contract randomly. If it is 300 to 600 times per minute and continues for several minutes, it will be fatal.

  Here, for patients who have sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, there may be cases where the heart's functional recovery can be achieved by giving a strong electrical stimulation to the heart. An automated external defibrillator (AED, hereinafter simply referred to as “defibrillator”) has been developed. A defibrillator is a medical device that can apply an electric shock to the heart by applying an electrode pad to the chest.

  In the case of cardiac arrest, it is necessary to perform cardioversion as soon as possible, and the time from cardiac arrest to the delivery of defibrillation is greatly related to mortality. The American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines recommend “defibrillation within 3 minutes of cardiac arrest in a hospital”. On the other hand, in Japan, it takes an average of just over 6 minutes for an ambulance to arrive at the site, and facilities and systems for taking immediate life-saving measures have been requested.

  In response to this demand, in recent years, the use of defibrillators, which was previously approved only by doctors, has become accepted by the general public, including public facilities such as airports, schools, and stations. As a result, defibrillators have been installed in a wide variety of places.

In this way, various techniques for supporting relief by the defibrillator have been proposed based on the circumstances in which the defibrillator is used in various places by the hands of ordinary citizens.
Patent Document 1 discloses an emergency medical device including a communication unit for detecting an operation of a defibrillator and communicating with a security organization that provides information necessary for lifesaving measures of a patient. And technology to assist those who help patients.
Further, in Patent Document 2, between the device capable of detecting arrhythmia and performing defibrillation and the doctor, data on the position of the subject and the heart state of the subject is sent to the doctor, A technique for realizing bidirectional communication in which an explanation for treatment is sent from a doctor and recovering the function of the heart fibrillating in the subject by the treatment instructed by the doctor is disclosed.

Special table 2006-512156 Special table 2004-515280

The techniques described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 both exchange useful information when a defibrillator is used for a patient who has suffered cardiac arrest or the like. When a life-saving measure using a defibrillator is to be performed, the defibrillator is not always installed conveniently near the patient.
As mentioned above, life-saving measures are a matter of time, so if you don't find a defibrillator in your area, find a defibrillator and take time to find it. There was a problem that it was not possible.
That is, there is data that if a life-saving measure such as cardiac massage is performed after cardiac arrest, life can be saved with a very high probability, but it will not be able to be revived rapidly after just a few minutes.
Looking at the so-called Dricker life curve, if the time to lifesaving is 2 minutes, it can be revived with a probability of 90%, and with 3 minutes it can be revived with a probability of 75%. In 5 minutes, it will drop to 25%, and in 6 minutes, it will drop sharply to a resuscitation rate of several percent. Even if an ambulance is requested to be rescued, there is an average of more than 6 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, and it is difficult to significantly improve the lifesaving rate if it depends on the ambulance.
Therefore, defibrillators that can be used by ordinary people have been placed in town, but for the first time people do not know how to use them. I don't even know where the defibrillator is. If you don't know it, you will get lost without knowing where it is located. And even if you find a defibrillator somehow, you have to return to the patient in a hurry, and it takes so much time to give the patient life-saving measures, and the life-saving rate decreases. I will let you.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6B, the defibrillator 3 also includes a charger 382 corresponding to the power feeder 442. The charger 382 corresponds to the charger 38, and is a battery that stores a conductive terminal composed of a charging-side plus terminal 382a and a charging-side minus terminal 382b and electric power obtained through the both terminals. And.
By storing the defibrillator 3 in the case 4, when the charging side minus terminal 382a and the feeding side minus terminal 382b are grounded on the feeding side plus terminal 442a and the feeding side minus terminal 442b, respectively, the feeder 44 The charger 38 can be energized, and the power supplied from the external power source is supplied via the power feeder 442 to the charger 381 and can be charged. This charging is always performed when the defibrillator 3 is stored in the case 4.

Thus, it is convenient to be able to charge without being connected by a charging plug or the like, so that it is not necessary to pull out the charging plug every time when the defibrillator 3 is taken out from the case 4. Thus, it does not have a separate charging connection portion such as a charging plug, and the charger as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. Therefore, even a person unfamiliar with the handling of the defibrillator 3 simply lifts the defibrillator 3 from the case 4 without worrying about whether to remove the charging plug or the like. Only the defibrillator 3 can be taken out. As a result, even if someone unfamiliar with the handling of the defibrillator 3 tries to save the life by taking out the defibrillator 3, he or she is unaware of it. There will be no delay in going to the rescue.
Furthermore, since the defibrillator 3 is always charged in the state in which the defibrillator 3 is stored in the case 4, sufficient power can be maintained even if the battery is reduced in size, thereby reducing the weight of the defibrillator 3. Can do.
The charging method as described above is suitable in the present embodiment, but any method can be used regardless of this.

Next, a series of processes executed in the lifesaving support system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to sequence diagrams shown in FIGS. 7 shows the process from the start of a series of processes until the third person serving as the rescue assistant takes out the defibrillator 3 from the case 4. FIG. 8 illustrates the process performed by the third party serving as the rescue assistant. It shows from the removal of the defibrillator 3 from the case 4 to the end of a series of processing.
When a patient requiring life-saving measures by the defibrillator 3 occurs due to cardiac arrest or the like, a person near the patient uses the rescuer terminal 2 possessed by the patient as a rescuer and uses the current location information acquisition unit 21 The current position information is acquired (S101), and the communication processing unit 22 transmits a life support request together with the current position information to the life support device 1 (S102). The lifesaving support request is for requesting the supply of the defibrillator 3 to the rescuer.

  When the life support device 1 receives the life support request together with the current position information of the rescuer from the rescuer terminal 2 by the communication processing unit 16, the life support device 1 issues an event ID to the life support request and receives the received current position information. And stored in the event information storage unit 13 (S103).

  Then, the defibrillator 3 that is within a predetermined distance range from the current position of the rescuer is identified by the identification processing unit 14 from the plurality of defibrillators 3 (S104).

Next, for the identified defibrillator 3, the issued event ID is stored in association with the information stored in the defibrillator information storage unit 13 (S105).
Then, the communication processing unit 16 transmits an emergency signal transmission request to the specified defibrillator 3 (S106).

The defibrillator 3 that has received the emergency signal transmission request from the lifesaving support apparatus 1 requests the case 4 to unlock the case 4, and enables the defibrillator 3 to be taken out (S107).
Here, the unlocking process of case 4 in S107 includes a series of processes shown in FIG.
That is, when the defibrillator 3 receives an emergency signal transmission request from the lifesaving support apparatus 1 by the communication processing unit 35 (S301), the transmission unit 36 passes the emergency signal transmission request to the case 4 ( S302). When the case 4 receives an emergency signal transmission request from the defibrillator 3 by the receiving unit 42 (S303), the locking / unlocking control unit 41 controls the lock 43 to unlock (S304).

While the case 4 is unlocked by the above processing, the defibrillator 3 controls the signal transmitter 37 by the signal control unit 31 to transmit an emergency signal (S108).
The signal transmitter 37 continuously transmits an emergency signal, and when a third party notices this, the third party takes out the defibrillator 3 from the case 4 as a rescue assistant (S109).
When the defibrillator 3 detects that the defibrillator 3 is taken out from the case 4 by the installation state detector 32 (S110), the signal controller 31 controls the signal controller 37 to make an emergency. The transmission of the signal is stopped (S111).
Then, the communication processing unit 35, together with the defibrillator ID of the defibrillator 3, a notification that the defibrillator 3 has been taken out, and navigation information for guiding the path to the rescuer An acquisition request is transmitted to the lifesaving support apparatus 1 (S112).

The life-saving support device 1 indicates that the defibrillator 3 related to the defibrillator ID is extracted from the defibrillator 3 together with the defibrillator ID and the navigation information by the communication processing unit 16. When the acquisition request is received, the event stored in association with the defibrillator 3 related to the defibrillator ID with reference to the defibrillator information storage unit 13 based on the defibrillator ID After specifying the ID, the defibrillator 3 stored in association with the same event ID as the specified event ID is specified, and an emergency signal transmission stop request is sent to the specified defibrillator 3 Is transmitted (S113).
Here, each defibrillator 3 that has received the emergency signal transmission stop request controls the signal control unit 31 to stop the emergency signal transmission and receives the information from the transmission unit 36 in the case 4. hand over. The case 4 that has received the information by the receiving unit 42 is locked by controlling the lock 43 by the locking / unlocking control unit 41.

  On the other hand, the lifesaving support device 1 uses the navigation information generation unit 15 to guide the rescue assistant to the rescuer for the defibrillator 3 that has transmitted the notification that it has been removed from the case 4. Gate information is generated (S114), and the generated navigation information is transmitted to the defibrillator 3 (S115).

  When the communication processing unit 35 receives the navigation information from the lifesaving support apparatus 1, the defibrillator 3 outputs the navigation information by the input / output unit 34 and presents it to the rescue assistant (S116).

In the processing of S110, the defibrillator 3 is detected by the current position information acquisition unit 33 at a certain timing after the installation state detection unit 32 detects that the defibrillator 3 is removed from the case 4. The position information is acquired (S117).
Each time the current position information acquisition unit 33 acquires the current position information, the communication processing unit 35 sends a defibrillator ID and the acquired current position information together with an acquisition request for navigation information based on the current position. Is transmitted to the lifesaving support apparatus 1 (S118).

The lifesaving support apparatus 1 that has received the defibrillator ID and the current position information from the defibrillator 3 together with the acquisition request of the navigation information based on the current position by the communication processing unit 16, The information is stored in the defibrillator information storage unit 13 (S119), and the navigation information generating unit 15 regenerates the navigation information (S120).
The regeneration of the navigation information is based on the received defibrillator ID, and refers to the defibrillator information storage unit 13 to identify the event ID stored in association with the defibrillator ID. Thereafter, the event information storage unit 12 is referred to extract information related to the current position of the rescuer related to the event ID. Then, the map information is read out from the map information storage unit 11 and the extracted current position of the rescuer and the received current position of the defibrillator 3 are reflected on the map. By specifying the shortest route to the current position of the moving device 3 and displaying it on the map, navigation information based on the current position of the defibrillator 3 is regenerated.

  The lifesaving support apparatus 1 transmits the regenerated navigation information to the defibrillator 3 (S121). The lifesaving support device 1 updates and stores the current position of the defibrillator 3 stored in the defibrillator information storage unit 13 every time the current position information is received from the defibrillator 3. As long as the navigation information acquisition request is received, the navigation information is regenerated.

  When the defibrillator 3 receives new navigation information from the lifesaving support apparatus 1 through the communication processing unit 35, the defibrillator 3 outputs the navigation information through the input / output unit 34 and presents it to the rescue assistant (S122). ).

  When the rescue assistant with the defibrillator 3 arrives at the rescuer according to the navigation information, passes the defibrillator 3 and completes the lifesaving measure, the lifesaving measure is taken together with the defibrillator ID. A notification of completion is transmitted to the lifesaving support apparatus 1 (S123).

When the lifesaving support device 1 receives the completion notification of the lifesaving measure from the defibrillator 3 together with the defibrillator ID, the life support device 1 refers to the defibrillator information storage unit 13 based on the defibrillator ID, The event ID stored in association with the defibrillator ID and the current position are deleted, and the information related to the event ID stored in the event information storage unit 12 is stored, and the series of processing ends. (S124).
As a result, a third party who is in the vicinity of the defibrillator 3 can be used as a rescue assistant, and the defibrillator 3 can be supplied to the rescuer and the patient to perform a quick lifesaving measure.

Subsequently, in the lifesaving support system according to the present embodiment, a flow of processing executed by the lifesaving assistance device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10, 11, and 12. FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 10, the lifesaving support apparatus 1 receives a lifesaving support request from the rescuer terminal 2 together with the current position information (S401).
In response to this, when an event ID is issued, the event ID and the received current position information are stored in association with each other in the event information storage unit 12 (S402).

Then, the specific processing unit 14 extracts the arrangement position of each defibrillator 3 from the defibrillator information storage unit 13 (S403), and calculates the distance from the current position of the rescuer terminal 2 (S404).
In this calculation, for example, when the position of one defibrillator 3 is [N35.658625 E139.745415] (N means north latitude, E means east longitude, and so on), the rescuer terminal 2 When the current position is [N35.658624 E139.745413], the difference between the latitude and longitude is first obtained. Then, a distance between line segments connecting both positions is obtained from a difference 0.000001 regarding latitude and a difference 0.000002 regarding longitude, and then converted into a distance corresponding to the latitude and longitude values.
When the defibrillator 3 whose distance thus calculated is within a predetermined range (S405) is specified (S405), the event ID is assigned to the specified defibrillator 3 in the defibrillator information storage unit 13. Are stored in association with each other (S406).

  Based on the address of the defibrillator 3 stored in the defibrillator information storage unit 13, an emergency signal transmission request is transmitted to the specified defibrillator 3 (S407). After that, the lifesaving support device 1 stands by so as to be able to receive a response from the defibrillator 3 that has transmitted the request for transmitting the emergency signal.

  Subsequently, in FIG. 11, as a result of the defibrillator 3 receiving the emergency signal transmission request transmitting the emergency signal, the defibrillator 3 is taken out from the case 4 by a third party serving as a rescue assistant, When a notification of installation cancellation indicating that fact is transmitted from the defibrillator 3 to the life support device 1 together with a request for obtaining the defibrillator ID and navigation information, the life support device 1 receives this (S501). ), Referring to the defibrillator information storage unit 13, the event ID stored in association with the received defibrillator ID is specified (S502).

  Then, referring to the defibrillator information storage unit 13, another defibrillator 3 stored in association with the same event ID as the identified event ID is specified (S 503). An emergency signal transmission stop request is transmitted to the other defibrillator thus identified (S504).

While sending an emergency signal transmission stop request to other defibrillators, to the defibrillator 3 that has sent a notice of installation cancellation indicating that the defibrillator 3 has been removed from the case 4 In order to transmit the navigation information, first, the placement position of the defibrillator 3 related to the received defibrillator ID is extracted with reference to the defibrillator information storage unit 13 (S505).
Further, based on the event ID, the event information storage unit 12 is referred to extract the current position of the rescuer terminal 2 stored in association with the event ID (S506).

Next, map information is called from the map information storage unit 11 (S507), and the extracted placement position of the defibrillator 3 and the current position of the rescuer terminal 2 are reflected on the called map (S508). .
Then, a route connecting the placement position of the defibrillator 3 reflected on the map and the current position of the rescuer terminal 2 is determined, and the route having the shortest distance is identified from among the routes (S509).

The specified shortest path is further reflected on the map, and navigation information is generated in which the placement position of the defibrillator 3, the current position of the rescuer terminal 2, and the shortest path connecting the two positions are displayed ( S510).
An example of the output image of the navigation information generated in this way is as shown in FIG. 13, on the map, the position 71 of the defibrillator 3, the position 72 of the rescuer who possesses the rescuer terminal 2, the defibrillation The shortest path 73 connecting the position 71 of the vessel 3 and the position 72 of the rescuer is displayed.
When the navigation information is generated in this way, it is transmitted to the defibrillator 3 (S511).

  Subsequently, in FIG. 12, the defibrillator 3 that has detected that the installation is released by the installation state detection unit 32 acquires the current position information by the current position information acquisition unit 33 at a predetermined timing. While the acquisition request of the navigation information based on the current position is transmitted to the life support apparatus 1 together with the current position information and the defibrillator ID, the life support apparatus 1 waits to receive this ( S601).

  When the current position information, the defibrillator ID, and the navigation information acquisition request based on the current position are received from the defibrillator 3, the defibrillator information storage unit 13 stores the defibrillation information. The current position information is stored in association with the defibrillator information related to the device ID (S602).

Further, the event ID stored in association with the received defibrillator ID is extracted with reference to the defibrillator information storage unit 13, and the event information storage unit 12 is referenced based on the event ID. Then, the current position of the rescuer terminal 2 stored in association with the event ID is extracted (S603).
Next, map information is called from the map information storage unit 11 (S604), and the received current position of the defibrillator 3 and the current position of the rescuer terminal 2 are reflected on the called map (S605). .
Then, a route connecting the placement position of the defibrillator 3 reflected on the map and the current position of the rescuer terminal 2 is determined, and the route having the shortest distance is identified from the route (S606).

The specified shortest path is further reflected on the map, and navigation information is generated in which the current position of the defibrillator 3, the current position of the rescuer terminal 2, and the shortest path connecting both positions are displayed ( S607).
When the navigation information is regenerated in this way, it is transmitted to the defibrillator 3 (S608).

Every time a request for obtaining navigation information based on the current position is received from the defibrillator 3 together with the defibrillator ID and the current position information, the processing from S601 to S608 is executed. When the notification indicating that the lifesaving measure is completed together with the defibrillator ID (S609), the event ID stored in association with the defibrillator ID and the current ID are stored in the defibrillator information storage unit 13. The information related to the position is deleted, and further, the information related to the event ID stored in the event information storage unit 12 is deleted, and the series of processing ends (S610).
As a result, even if the defibrillator is not immediately found near the patient, it can be promptly removed to the rescuer who rescues the patient via a third party who is a rescue assistant. A fibrillator can be supplied and quick life-saving measures can be taken.

In the present embodiment, the identification processing unit 14 performs a process of identifying the defibrillator 3 that is within a predetermined distance range from the current position of the rescuer terminal and the current position of the rescuer terminal 2 that is simulated. May specify the defibrillator 3 that is closest to the current position of the rescuer terminal 2, and in this case, the specified defibrillator 3 is closer to the current position of the rescuer terminal 2. An emergency signal transmission request is transmitted to the defibrillator 3.
In this case, the specific processing includes the rescuer current position stored in the event information storage unit 12 and the defibrillator current position of each defibrillator stored in the defibrillator information storage unit 13. Based on this, the distance from the current position of the rescuer to each defibrillator current position is calculated, and the defibrillator 3 having the smallest distance is specified.

In the present embodiment, the lifesaving support apparatus 1 may further include an input / output unit that can input and output various types of information.
As a result, information input / output at the input / output unit 34 on the defibrillator 3 side and information input / output at the input / output unit on the lifesaving support device 1 side are transmitted by the communication processing unit 16 and the communication processing unit 35. By sending and receiving, it is possible to exchange information between rescuers and rescue assistants who have defibrillators and managers who manage life support devices, etc. Can be exchanged.

  In the above-described embodiment, the identification processing by the identification processing unit 14 identifies the defibrillator 3 located within a predetermined distance range or the shortest distance from the rescuer terminal 2. The required time may be estimated in consideration of slopes and intersections existing in the route to the defibrillator 3, and the defibrillator 3 having the minimum required time or within a predetermined time may be specified.

  In this case, the standard pedestrian required time in a predetermined section or the like is stored as the map information stored in the map information storage unit 11. This is because, for example, a predetermined distance on the map and the time required to pass the distance, a hill or intersection existing at a predetermined position on the map, and these hills (up / down separate) or an intersection The required time is associated with each other and stored as a required time table.

And the specific process part 14 performs the following processes. First, the map information stored in the map information storage unit 11 is called, and the arrangement position of the defibrillator 3 and the current position of the rescuer terminal 2 are reflected on the map, and a plurality of the positions are connected. Create a route for. The required times of the plurality of temporarily created routes are calculated and compared, and the route with the minimum required time is specified.
Here, the calculation of the time required for passing one route refers to the time required to simply move the distance of the route with reference to the required time table stored as map information in the map information storage unit 11. The time required to pass through the slopes and intersections existing in the route is calculated, and the time required to pass through the route is calculated by adding these.
For example, when one route from the placement position of a certain defibrillator 3 to the rescuer terminal 2 is 500 m and there is an intersection A in the middle, the required time per 100 m is 40 seconds in the required time table, If the time required to pass through the intersection A is stored as 60 seconds, the required time is calculated as 500 (m) ÷ 100 (m) × 40 (s) +60 (s) = 260 (s). The
The calculation of the required time is executed for the plurality of provisionally created routes, and the required time of each route is compared to identify the minimum required time and the route.
This calculation of the required time is executed for each defibrillator 3 to compare the minimum required time to the rescuer terminal 2 in each defibrillator 3, and from the defibrillator 3 to the rescuer terminal 3 It is possible to specify the defibrillator 3 that requires the shortest time until the time is within a predetermined time. In this way, it is possible to specify the defibrillator 3 closest to the rescuer terminal 3 and the patient based not only on the basis of being close in distance but also on the basis of the time required for the pedestrian. Become.

In the normal time when the defibrillator 3 is stored in the case 4, the current position information of the defibrillator 3 continuously acquired by the current position information acquisition unit 33 at a predetermined timing is used as the communication processing unit 35. Then, it may be transmitted to the lifesaving support apparatus 1 periodically (every day or the like) and stored in the defibrillator information storage unit 13.
By doing this, it is always possible to detect whether the defibrillator 3 is installed at the specified position, and even if it is installed at a location different from the specified position, the current actual installation position can be detected. It is possible to identify the defibrillator 3 at the optimal position. Even when the defibrillator 3 is installed for the first time, the installation operator can eliminate the need to contact the manager of the life support center or the like where the life support device 1 is installed.

Further, in another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 14, in addition to the functions of the lifesaving support system according to the above-described embodiment, the defibrillator 3 includes the functions of the defibrillator 3, In particular, a self-diagnosis unit 39 that detects the amount of power stored by the charger 44 may be provided.
The battery is a very important component that always stores sufficient electric energy to generate an electric shock, and it is desirable that the battery is always kept close to full charge. However, the battery is called self-discharge, and the amount of electricity stored little by little without using it. Therefore, the self-diagnosis unit 39 periodically measures the voltage of the battery included in the charger 38 and determines whether the battery is almost fully charged. And the diagnostic result is transmitted to the lifesaving assistance apparatus 1 regularly (every day etc.) via the communication processing part 35. FIG.

Incidentally, there are various battery diagnosis methods.
For example, a nickel-metal hydride battery with a rating of 7.2 V can be diagnosed as being in the vicinity of full charge if it is 8 V or more. In addition, this is a series of 6 batteries called cells with a rating of 1.2V, but even if the total voltage is 8V or more and it is normal, the voltage of one cell drops. Can be judged as abnormal.
In general, the total voltage and the voltage of each cell can be detected and diagnosed.
In this way, the presence of the self-diagnosis unit 39 has the following effects in addition to the effect of reducing the number of times humans regularly inspect.

The battery of the defibrillator 3 usually needs durability of several years and extremely high reliability, and if there is no charging facility, it is required to have a super-high performance with very little self-discharge. Incidentally, general batteries have many self-discharges, and many of them have about half the amount of electricity stored in one month.
For that reason, the battery of the defibrillator 3 is not only low in self-discharge, but also has a considerably large electric capacity that is sufficient even if self-discharge occurs, which is far more expensive than general batteries. There is a drawback that it becomes big and heavy. And because it is expensive, it has also hindered its spread. However, in the present embodiment, a general battery can be used by having the charger 38, and the battery can be charged at any time to manage the amount of charge, so that the battery can have an appropriate electric capacity. As a result, not only can the price be promoted at a low price, but also the defibrillator 3 can be reduced in size and weight. Furthermore, the reduction in size and weight can have the important effect of facilitating the transportation of rescue assistants and being able to rush to the patient more quickly.
