  • Lifesaving assisting apparatus
    Patent number: 10966618
    Abstract: A light-emitting section (21) emits light to be irradiated on a body of a patient (100). A light-receiving section (22) outputs a signal corresponding to an intensity of light which has been transmitted through or reflected from the body of the patient (100). A pulse-amplitude Index acquiring section (32) analyzes amplitude of the signal to acquire a pulse-amplitude Index of the patient (100). A pulse determining section (33) determines presence or absence of a pulse of the patient (100) in accordance with the pulse-amplitude Index. A notifying section (34) notifies a result of determination made by the pulse determining section (33).

  • Lifesaving support apparatus and lifesaving support system
    Patent number: 9439576
    Abstract: A lifesaving support apparatus includes: a sensor section which is adapted to be attachable to a patient, and which is configured to acquire information of blood flow of the patient; a determining section which, based on the information of blood flow, is configured to determine whether or not a use of an automatic external defibrillator is necessary; and an outputting section which is configured to notify a rescuer of information which is determined by the determining section.
