North Lake Tahoe Fire Receives FEMA Grant for State-of-the-Art Resuscitation Systems
Feb 19, 2024 — by 775TimesTeam in 775Times, Articles
The North Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue has received a grant from FEMA for $80,000 to acquire five state-of-the-art Zoll AutoPulse NXT resuscitation systems
These cutting-edge devices are portable, battery-powered, and provide automated CPR to individuals experiencing cardiac arrest.
The implementation of these resuscitation systems has the potential to significantly increase survival rates, with studies showing up to a 50% improvement compared to manual CPR.
One of the key features of the Zoll AutoPulse NXT is its ability to measure the chest size of the patient before administering uninterrupted chest compressions, ensuring more effective treatment.
Since the installation of the new systems last week, the team at North Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue has already seen the benefits of having these life-saving tools at their disposal.
The automated CPR provided by the Zoll AutoPulse NXT systems frees up valuable time for our first responders to focus on other critical tasks during emergency situations.
