Currently the transfer of critically patients is carried out through a coordination center for outpatient care and hospital care. Modern wireless communications technologies offer the possibility of improving some systems in the context of critical care emergency; under these situations are many occasions requiring additional examinations. The telemetry system developed in this paper provides real-time communication of patient's blood biochemistry that with a clinical suspicion based on an adequate history taking and physical examination, require this kind of diagnostic tests to better assess the patient's condition. This allows improving attendance at all times and the preparation of all necessary resources for the rapid, and effective patient reception in the hospital without additional cost, since these tests also would be required in the hospital. This allows early detection of conditions that endanger imminent the life of a patient. The results verify the interest of this new service.

Keywords : Telemonitoring; Telemedicine; Transfer of critical patients; Transmission of hematological parameters.
