Advanced Airway Equipment - The EMT/D's will utilize the <br />esophageal obturator airway. Used in cardiac arrests, this tube <br />is placed in the esophagus. A balloon at the bottom of the tube <br />inflates, sealing off the stomach so the air can be forced into <br />the lungs. Approximately $100. <br />Portable Jump Gear - Portable medical boxes and vinyl bags will <br />be utilized so equipment can be easily transported to the <br />patient. Approximately $350. <br />Cervical Spine Equipment - Equipment designed and utilized to <br />protect/immobilize the spinal column with special attention to <br />the cervical spine. Approximately $350. <br />MAST Pants (Medical Anti -Shock Trousers) - The MAST pants are <br />placed on a patient like pants and when inflated, they squeeze <br />the abdomen and both legs. This medical equipment is primarily <br />used in trauma or shock treatment maintaining an adequate blood <br />supply to the vital organs. Adult approximately $800 - Child <br />$550. <br />Mechanical Thumper - A mechanical CPR device that can perform <br />compressions and ventilations better than manual CPR. This unit <br />is oxygen powered and frees the rescuers to utilize other <br />equipment and perform other tasks. Approximately $8,000. ! <br />Automatic Defibrillator - This device is applied by EMT/D's. It <br />is automatic and recognizes the patients heart signals, <br />interprets the rhythm and provides life saving defibrillation <br />when appropriate. A print out is available for documentation <br />and review by the cardiologist'at the receiving hospital. This <br />device is user friendly in that it speaks to the rescuer as well <br />as provides a printed message. When paramedics arrive, this <br />device can be used manually saving precious time. Approximately <br />$7,000. <br />Stair Chair, Scoop Stretcher, Pediatric Immobilization - These <br />devices are used to remove patients down elevated stairs, <br />protect patients with broken bones, and immobilize pediatric <br />patients with neck and back.injuries. Approximately $1,160.. <br />Assorted Medical Supplies - supplies such as ambu/masks, flow <br />meters, infant 02 masks, nasal cannulas, non rebreathers, 02 <br />tubing, Pedi 02 masks, EGTA mask, defib pads, armboards, <br />dressings, burn sheets, B/P cuffs, OB kit, blankets, pillows, <br />gloves, tapes, etc. Approximately $4,090. <br />GRAND TOTAL FOR EMT/D EMS PROJECT - $23,000 <br />To provide a first responder vehicle, an emergency services transport <br />unit now in service would not be retired at this time. The <br />Department has taken delivery of two new transport vehicles and both <br />are now in service. This older non -transport unit will be sufficient <br />for this program during the year the project will be studied and <br />feasibility determined. In addition to the emergency medical <br />equipment mentioned above, the emergency vehicle would carry a full <br />complement of basic life support equipment. This will provide for a <br />timely response with vastly improved first responder technology to <br />save lives prior to the paramedics arrival at the emergency scene. <br />Immediately after meeting with the residents from the South <br />Beach/Mooring area, Bert Hambleton, Herb Grandage, George Shaw, and <br />John Taylor began a campaign to raise the funds to initiate the EMT -D <br />Program. On April 1, 1991, Campaign Coordinator George Shaw advised <br />staff that in excess of $26,215 had been donated for the project. <br />45 <br />ROOK f'riU .�� <br />a 16 1991 <br />
