Tempe Fire Medical Rescue has taken a proactive step in enhancing emergency response by equipping all firetrucks and ambulances with new CPR technology. The LUCAS automated chest compression device is now on board every vehicle, providing consistent CPR compressions to increase a person’s chance of survival during cardiac arrest situations. This innovative technology helps alleviate the fatigue associated with manual CPR, ensuring that circulation is maintained as first responders transport a patient.
Deputy Chief Kevin Bailey Jr. emphasizes the importance of time in cardiac arrest emergencies, stating that the LUCAS device leads to “overall better health outcomes.” Tempe Fire Medical Rescue is proud to be the first fire department in metro Phoenix to fully outfit its fleet with these life-saving devices, demonstrating a commitment to improving emergency medical care in the community.
By integrating this advanced technology into their vehicles, Tempe Fire Medical Rescue is setting a new standard for emergency response in the region. The city’s investment in the LUCAS automated chest compression device showcases a dedication to providing the best possible care to residents in critical situations. With these devices now readily available on all firetrucks and ambulances, Tempe Fire Medical Rescue is well-equipped to handle cardiac arrest emergencies and save more lives in the community.
