Tempe Fire Medical Rescue has announced that all firetrucks and ambulances in their fleet are now equipped with new CPR technology to enhance response in emergencies. The LUCAS automated chest compression device is being carried on all vehicles, aiming to improve the chances of survival for individuals in cardiac arrest situations.
The device helps reduce the physical strain on first responders by providing consistent and effective chest compressions, maintaining circulation as patients are moved. Deputy Chief Kevin Bailey Jr. emphasizes the importance of time in such critical moments, stating that the LUCAS device contributes to “overall better health outcomes” for patients.
Being the first fire department in the metro Phoenix area to fully equip its vehicles with this technology, Tempe Fire Medical Rescue is setting a new standard for emergency response in the region. The city’s commitment to innovation and excellence in life-saving techniques has been commended by officials and residents alike.
With the implementation of the LUCAS automated chest compression device, Tempe Fire Medical Rescue is demonstrating their dedication to providing the best possible care to individuals in need. This advanced technology is a testament to the department’s continued efforts to improve outcomes in emergency situations and save lives.
