Equipment
Hamilton T1 Ventilators
The Hamilton T1 Ventilator's are a new age type of vent that allow our providers to control and view every aspect of the patients airway. As providers, we are able to view criteria such as CStat and Rinsp values to show how well patients are being ventilated, just beyond a set volume. Additionally, we can view the patients lungs via a Dynamic Lung graph that shows how the lungs are responding and inflating. This is a huge asset to our providers as well as patients.
Stryker Power-Pro XT & PowerLoad
Stryker all powered stretcher and PowerLoad system help to assist crews in safely moving patients while minimizing injuries to crews. Not only does in help our crews, but also provides stability & security for the patient.
Stryker Stair Chair
Stryker Chair allows our crew to safely move patients with the extension handles and roller guides

Butterfly IQ Ultrasound
The ButterflyIQ allows providers to have an internal view of patients to help look for critical or underlying injuries. Providers can scan for internal bleeding, internal organs, systems, fetal scan, and even fetal heart tones.
Lucas 3
The Lucas 3 is a mechanical compression device that performs compressions to the proper depth, at the proper rate, without fatigue. It also prevents crews from standing in the back of the units while moving.

iStat - Mobile Labs
These iStats allow providers in the field to draw real-time lab values, such as Troponin, pH levels, PCO2, Potassium, Calcium, BUN, etc. to allow providers a real time look at the patients metabolic condition. This helps with immediate treatment ability as well as getting patients to an end destination for conditions that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Littmann Eko Stethoscope
The Eko brings advanced stethoscopes and software together to allow providers to not only hear lung and heart sounds in a more amplified manner, but it also allows providers to record and compare clinical findings on our patients
Physio-Control LifePak 15 V3
The LP15 is the one piece of equipment that gets used on virtually every run. It is used by providers for simple tasks such as blood pressures and oxygen readings, to transmitting information from our units to hospitals. It can be used for pacing, defibrillation, end tidal monitoring, and a tool for our Paramedic providers to interpret EKG's and allows our field providers to look for cardiac issues in the field. When one of our providers recognizes a cardiac issue, it allows our providers to transmit their findings to hospitals in the area to activate Cath Labs or diagnose STEMIs in the field.
