Abstract

This study is about implementing wireless transferring system in pre-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). Also, this study includes monitoring based feedback between patient and hospital to increase the survival rate of emergency patient by developing the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pre-hospital. It minimizes the loss of flow rate or gastric inflation through the space between the airway and the esophagus, which enables the inspiration-expiration rate to be measured more precisely. Due to these reasons this study applied ET insertion based respiratory sensor to measure flow rate. The main indices of artificial ventilation are justified from minute respiration(V), end-tidal $CO_2(E_TCO_2)$, and tracheal pressure($P_{tr}$). The simulation is performed to verify the bandwidth and delay time of transport network for in-hospital monitoring even as transporting images and voice information simultaneously. The total bandwidth is 815 kbps, and WLAN (IEEE 802.11x) is used as communication protocol. The network load is under 1.5% and the transmit delay time is measured under 0.3 seconds.

본 연구는 심폐소생술 (CPR) 중 인공호흡의 무선 전송 시스템 구현에 관한 것으로, 병원 전 단계에서의 CPR 성과를 높임으로써 응급환자의 생존율을 높이기 위한 환자-병원간 무선 통신 시스템이다. 기도삽관 기반 호흡기류센서를 적용하여 호흡량을 측정하였는데, 기도삽관을 통한 인공호흡은 기류량의 손실을 최소화하여 보다 정확한 흡기-호기량 계측이 가능하고, 기도-식도 구분을 통해 식도팽창을 방지하여 다른 인공호흡 방법에 비해 장점을 입증하였다. 또, 인공호흡 주요지표인 분당 평균호흡량 (V), 호기말 이산화탄소 농도 ($EtCO_2$), 기도압력 (Ptr)을 디지털화하여 정의하였으며 정의된 데이터를 무선 통신 시스템을 이용하여 전송망의 대역폭 및 지연시간을 확인하였다. 호흡신호를 전송하기 위해 필요한 최대대역폭 (815 Kbps) 에 비해 Wireless LAN의 대역폭 (54 Mbps) 이 충분하여 네트워크 부하는 1.5 % 미만이었으며, 전송지연시간은 0.3 초 이내로 측정되었다.
