With the
financial support of Operation Round Up, Gordon-Wascott EMS
was able to purchase 2 portable capnograph units for our
First Responders
who
arrive on-scene ahead of the ambulance crew.
These units are used to measure the end tidal carbon dioxide
and respiration rates, which allow for confirmation of an
advanced airway placement during CPR. The capnographs
measure end tidal carbon dioxide and respiration rate, and
have the ability to recognize the very first signs of Return
of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC).
While our ambulances are equipped with capnographs, our
First Responders who arrive before the ambulance did not
have these units. We were also able to purchase airway
adapters which are required for use of the capnographs.
The aount of funding received from Operation Round Up was
$4,319.00.
Gordon-Wascott EMS purchased the 2 capnographs on May 11,
2021. The members of Gordon-Wascott EMS are very
grateful for the financial support from Operation Round Up
in helping us purchase these much-needed supplies, and will
put them to use immediately!
