1. A modular external defibrillator system for treating a patient, comprising:
- a base containing a display and an external defibrillator module configured to deliver a defibrillation shock to the patient;
a first pod configured to be operable when separated from the base, the first pod having a first patient parameter module and structured to be connected to the patient to collect first patient data related to at least a first patient vital sign, the first pod configured to wirelessly transmit the first patient data to the base; and
a second pod configured to be operable when separated from the base and structured to be selectively latched to the first pod, the second pod having a second patient parameter module and structured to be connected to the patient to collect second patient data related to at least a second patient vital sign independent from the first patient vital sign, the second pod configured to wirelessly transmit the second patient data to the base,in which, when one of the first or the second patient data is transmitted to the base, the base is configured to display an aspect of the transmitted one of the first or the second patient data.

Abstract
A modular external defibrillator system in embodiments of the teachings may include one or more of the following features: a base containing a defibrillator to deliver a defibrillation shock to a patient, (b) one or more pods each connectable to a patient via patient lead cables to collect at least one patient vital sign, the pods operable at a distance from the base, (c) a wireless communications link between the base and a selected one of the two or more pods to carry the at least one vital sign from the selected pod to the base, the selection being based on which pod is associated with the base.
