  • Patent number: 7245964
    Abstract: Techniques for managing recording of audio during a medical emergency are presented. An audio recorder may selectively record audio at selected time during the medical emergency, and generate correlation information to temporally correlate the recorded audio with the medical emergency. The audio recorder may establish receive synchronization information from a medical device used during the medical emergency, and may mark recorded audio according to the synchronization information. A computer may generate a record for the medical emergency that includes recorded audio correlated with medical emergency information generated by the medical device. The computer may correlate the recorded audio with the medical emergency information according the synchronization markings.

  • Patent number: 5921938
    Abstract: A system synchronizes the time of a clock of an electronic physiological instrument with time of a remote time base. The electronic physiological instrument records medical event data and electronically associates event time with the event data While recording, or after recording, the medical event data, the electronic physiological instrument is placed in data communication with the remote time base over a data connection. The remote time base initially determines a reference time from a master clock. The remote time base also transmits a request to the electronic physiological instrument for a current time from a clock in the electronic physiological instrument. If a response is not received from the electronic physiological instrument within a first time period, the clock is not synchronized with the remote time base.
