Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion to approve Resolution 28-24 for the purchase of nine (9) LUCAS™ Chest Compression Systems and eight years of ProCare maintenance from Stryker Medical as a City Standard.
Body
Background:
The LUCAS™ Chest Compression System assists paramedics by providing effective and uninterrupted chest compressions on sudden cardiac arrest patients. LUCAS™ facilitates the transportation of cardiac arrest patients with ongoing compressions, not only from the scene to the ambulance, but also inside a fast-moving ambulance. It is well established that effective CPR is very difficult to achieve manually in these situations. In addition, rescuers will no longer have to compromise their own safety by providing compression during transportation. Rescuers are able to sit firmly, seat belted, and watch over the patient.
