Development of A Portable Life Support System

Objective To design a portable life support system,which is a small comprehensive first-aid system developed for transporting pre-hospital patients with critical diseases.The system consists of many modules,such as mechanical ventilation,transfusion,aspiration,care,oxygen supply and power supply.Methods The characteristics and service requirements of the transporting pre-hospital patients with critical diseases.With embedded structure adopted,the system involved computer-aided design software in the simulation designs of its overall structure,the installation,fixation,interferences and operation of the embedded devices.Results The system could be locked quickly with general stretcher to form portable ICU and be attached to many carriers and can also provide nonstop treatment and care in transit by suing vehicle power supply,and thus the firstaid efficiency was enhanced.Conclusion The system,gifted with small,lightweight and portable,complete function and easy operation,can be applied to field firstaid and continuous treatment resuscitation during long-distance evacuation in emergency disasters.
