‘keeping cool under pressure’ Greg Linch…
Oh Boy!…..are the LBTS EMS…BSO supporters going to have a field day its this P.R. article in the Herald today…
It touts with pictures and accounts from patients ….the 2-fold benefits of the infamous…Autopulse…in combination with ICE…(Induced Cooling by EMS unit)…
The BSO Fire Rescue’s new motto….”Chill out”…when it come to cardiac arrest victims….using a procedure called “hypothermic resuscitation”…to prevent brain damage…defy death….
The combo gives the patient an increase in survival…. that is fourfold…
LBTS residents will recall all the hoopla over the Autopulse…and the lack of newly contracted AMR providing it at the present time….
To appease the naysayers….and assure those on board with the commission’s decision to switch service to this private company….in October…
AMR must follow through on their pledge to the Vice Mayor….and have not just the Autopulse…or a comparable device…but the new ICE field device…on each one of their trucks slated for use in town….
This immediate action…. will bring additional confidence in this decision….and not diminish the services offered at the present time…in conjunction with the hospitals mentioned in this article …including Holy Cross and Imperial Point….
ensuring that upon arrival in the ambulance…they will continue on with this procedure…in their emergency rooms…
and LBTS residents will be among those with the best chance of survival ….
BCbythesea….Commissioners…AMR… respond on this ASAP….1st opportunity…Tues. 6/3/08 noon Hurricane Fair….make an announcement….
