Abstract
Embodiments of a patient status sensor can be applied to a patient or trauma victim to provide a quick visual and/or audible indication of the patient's vital signs (e.g., respiration, heart rate, or other vital signs). Certain embodiments are configured as an adhesive patch that includes electrodes for measuring heart rate (and respiration in some implementations), a processor configured to perform calculations for determining one or more vital signs using information from the electrodes, and audible or visual indicators to communicate information about vital signs or patient status to a medical attendant. Certain embodiments include an access opening for providing intraosseous delivery of fluids to bone marrow (e.g., through sternal or long bone) and can be integrated or used with an intraosseous delivery system. Certain embodiments include wired or wireless components to communicate vital signs or patient status to an external monitoring device.
