Abstract

First responders often face chaotic and noisy scenes when arriving at the site of an accident. In such environments it is challenging to assess and monitor multiple patients. Sensors such as pulse oximeters have limited usability in field settings, especially if the users are not professionally trained. There is therefore a need for an easy-to-use solution to monitor vital signs such as pulse and breathing rate. To meet this need, a combined optic-acoustic vital signs monitor has been developed. This paper is focusing on the development and testing of the optical sensor unit, and data from testing of the sensor will be presented.
