First Claim
1. Medical apparatus for treating a patient comprising:
- two electrodes, the two electrodes including an attachment operable to releasably connect the two electrodes to the patient;
a processor operable to collect and analyze a rhythm associated with the patient'"'"'s heart from the two electrodes;
a display operable to communicate instructions to a user;
an intraosseous device and a driver operable to insert the intraosseous device into a bone and associated bone marrow of the patient;
a drug delivery slot having at least one dose of a drug disposed therein;
a drug delivery port operable to communicate the drug from the drug delivery slot to the patient via the intraosseous device; and
a voltage source operable to deliver an electric shock to the patient via the two electrodes; and

Abstract
Automatic external defibrillator apparatus may be provided for use in cooperation with an intraosseous apparatus. Apparatus and methods may also be provided to execute protocols calling for external defibrillation and drug delivery. The disclosure provides a medical apparatus including two electrodes, a processor, a display, a driver, a drug delivery slot, a drug delivery port, and a voltage source. The two electrodes may include an attachment operable to releasably connect the two electrodes to the patient. The processor may be operable to collect and analyze a rhythm associated with the patient'"'"'s heart from the two electrodes. The display may be operable to communicate instructions to a user. The driver may be operable to insert an intraosseous device into a bone and associated bone marrow of the patient. The drug delivery slot may be operable to receive a drug. The drug delivery port may be operable to communicate the drug from the drug delivery slot to the patient via the intraosseous device. The voltage source may be operable to deliver an electric shock to the patient via the two electrodes.
