The Support System of the Victim Evacuation Process in Mass-Casualty Incidents

Towards the Development of a Patient Monitoring System: Review of Available Solutions and Assumptions for Building a Functionally Optimal System

“…The above-mentioned FT (FlagTag) victim tagging micro-modules of the system supporting the process of evacuation of victims in mass events, developed at the WIML, were made within the framework of the project titled "The system for evacuation and rescue of victims of natural disasters -EvaCopNet" (original title "System ewakuacji i ratowania poszkodowanych podczas klęsk żywiołowych -EvaCopNet"), contract with the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBiR) No. BS3/B9/37/2015 [10,12]. The FT (FlagTag) victim tagging micro-modules were made in the form of bands used to determine, by the rescuer, the victim's health status (triage), their location and to determine parameters such as geographical location, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR) value and ambient temperature.…”

“…The development of the GPS system and miniaturization of the receiver modules have made it possible to equip personal medical recorders with the function of tracking the location of people in open space (outdoors) [11,21]. Examples include the SMP-300 recorder or the FT (FlagTag) victim tagging micromodules of the system that supports the evacuation of victims in mass casualty events [12]. Nowadays, there is a clear trend of research groups to search for solutions to monitor physiological parameters and track the location of people inside buildings [45].…”
