    A new portable life support system (PLSS) enhances patient transport by integrating advanced technologies. This mobile system ensures reliable power and ease of use for critically ill individuals needing specialized care.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Medical Device Design

    Background:

    • Critically ill patients often require transfer to specialized facilities, posing logistical and medical challenges.
    • Existing transport solutions may lack integrated, reliable life support capabilities.
    • The need for a mobile, comprehensive system for patient stabilization during transit is critical.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and develop a novel portable life support system (PLSS) for critical care patient transport.
    • To integrate essential life support functions into a single, mobile unit.
    • To enhance patient safety and care continuity during inter-facility transfers.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed a patient cart integrating all necessary life support systems.

  • Incorporated redundant power sources for uninterrupted operation.
  • Utilized automation to enhance system reliability and ease of use.
  • Combined existing life support technologies, including intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and ventricular assist device (VABP), for synergistic effects.

    • Main Results:

    • The PLSS successfully integrates multiple life support functions into a portable unit.
    • Redundant power supply ensures continuous operation during transport.
    • Automation features contribute to enhanced reliability and operational simplicity.
    • The combination of IABP and VABP creates a powerful, synergistic clinical tool.

    Conclusions:

    • The designed PLSS offers a unique and powerful solution for transporting critically ill patients.
    • The system's portability, reliability, and integrated functionalities address key challenges in critical care transport.
    • This innovative device has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes during inter-facility transfers.
