Patent ID: 8607487

Claim:
A life support algorithm display system ( 100 ) for providing convenient access to basic life support or advanced life support algorithms for a user during an emergency, the system ( 100 ) comprises: (a) a rigid, linear, I.V. (intravenous) pole ( 110 ) disposed on a base ( 120 ); (b) a plurality of rectangular life support algorithm cards ( 200 ), wherein the plurality comprises between 6 and 12 life support algorithm cards ( 200 ), wherein the life support algorithm card ( 200 ) comprises a card front surface ( 201 ), a card back surface ( 202 ), and a card bottom edge ( 203 ) having a tab ( 210 ) disposed thereon, wherein the tab ( 210 ) is disposed on one of at least two offsetting locations on the card bottom edge ( 203 ) for each of the plurality of life support algorithm cards ( 200 ), wherein a life support algorithm is printed on the card front surface ( 201 ) or the card back surface ( 202 ) of each life support algorithm card ( 200 ); and (c) a plurality of rigid display modules ( 300 ), wherein the plurality comprises between 6 and 12 display modules ( 300 ), wherein the display module ( 300 ) comprises a transparent module first face ( 301 ), a transparent module second face ( 302 ), a cavity ( 303 ) disposed between the module first face ( 301 ) and the module second face ( 302 ), a module top aperture ( 304 ) disposed on a module top edge ( 305 ) fluidly connected to the cavity ( 303 ), a module bottom aperture ( 306 ) disposed on a module bottom edge ( 307 ) fluidly connected to the cavity ( 303 ), a side arm ( 310 ) having an arm first end ( 311 ) centrally disposed on a module first side ( 308 ), and an arm second end ( 312 ) disposed on a clip ( 320 ), wherein the clip ( 320 ) is adapted to snugly, yet pivotally clip onto the I.V. pole ( 110 ) allowing the display module ( 300 ) to rotate around the I.V. pole ( 110 ); wherein each life support algorithm card ( 200 ) is disposed in the respective display module ( 300 ), wherein the module top aperture ( 304 ) comprises a module top aperture width ( 330 ) larger than a life support algorithm card width ( 350 ) for allowing the life support algorithm card ( 200 ) to pass through, wherein the module bottom aperture ( 306 ) comprises a module bottom aperture with ( 340 ) smaller than the life support algorithm card width ( 350 ) for preventing the life support algorithm card ( 200 ) from passing through, wherein the tab ( 210 ) passes through the module bottom aperture ( 306 ); wherein each display module ( 300 ) is clipped onto the I.V. pole ( 110 ) in a vertically sequentially offsetting location, wherein each display module ( 300 ) is adapted to be rotated for viewing via the tab ( 210 ) extending through the module bottom aperture ( 306 ).
