EQUIPMENT OF AN URGENT NATURE
The LifePak 12 Cardiac Monitor/Defibrillator x 2
The Physio-Control LifePak 12 is the most reliable, durable, and state-of-the-art cardiac monitor / defibrillator used by field Paramedics you can buy. With over a 40 year history of manufacturing
cardiac monitors for hospitals and the ambulance industry Physio-Control has become the standard
for the healthcare industry nationwide.
In the pre-hospital setting, Paramedics can use the LifePak 12 as a cardiac monitor and defibrillator
but more importantly it has the ability to obtain a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) reading of
the heart to diagnose a heart attack in a patient well before arrival at the hospital. This capability is
very significant for our location due to potential long travel times.
A standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) is a picture of the heart's electrical activity from 12 different angles. It's called a 12-lead because 12 wires are attached to your chest and limbs during the examination, these are actually sensors. The procedure only takes a minute and the paramedic can now send this information to the hospital via cellular, fax, or telemetry to the Emergency Department physician. The Paramedic can also give appropriate medications to the patient based on the findings of the 12 lead ECG. These therapies done in the field can be lifesaving for the patient who is having an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Cost of a LifePak 12 $21,000.00

Communications
Portable Radios
Portable Radios allow us to communicate with each other and dispatch when we are not in the ambulance. For example, we could call for additional assistance if we needed help lifting or if we needed extra hands to do CPR. That little bit of extra time required to run out to the ambulance to make the call could mean life or death. Another use of portable radios are on Fireboat calls to the islands where you don't have the ambulance radio.
Cost of
Portable Radios ........................ $330.00 ea.
Base Repeater Tower
A repeater tower for the Town of Orleans to enable the use of portable radios. This would enable crews to communicate with each other and the county dispatchers. There are multiple areas in the town that could be covered by just one tower. This would greatly increase our ability to communicate in the Town of Orleans and on the St. Lawrence River.
