1. A patient monitoring system comprising:
a docking station configured to determine measurements of a first set of physiological parameters and including a shuttle port;
a shuttle station removably attachable to the docking station via the shuttle port and including a handheld port; and
a handheld monitor removably attachable to the shuttle station via the handheld port and configured to determine measurements of a second set of physiological parameters,
wherein the shuttle station is configured to provide expanded physiological parameter monitoring capability to the handheld monitor when the handheld monitor is attached to the shuttle station via the handheld port, and wherein the shuttle station and the handheld monitor are configured to function together independently of the docking station with expanded physiological parameter monitoring capability as compared to the handheld monitor functioning without the shuttle station.
