Sylvania Township Fire Department One of First to Adopt CPR Devices The Sylvania Township Fire Department, in conjunction with Lucas County EMS, is the second Fire-EMS department in the country to use the ResQCPRTM System from ZOLL Medical Corporation. The system, approved by the FDA in March, is the only device on the market that can improve the likelihood of survival in adults who have suffered sudden cardiac arrest. “This device has been proven to have a 49 percent survival rate when used for cardiac arrest patients,” noted Sylvania Fire Chief Jeff Kowalski. “This is an amazing tool and the biggest advance we have had since CPR was developed.” The ResQCPR System was placed in service on July 14. Each of Sylvania Township Fire Department’s five first-
responding units is now equipped with the new system that includes the ResQPUMPR , a hand-held pumping device with a suction cup that is placed on the chest during CPR to perform active compression/decompression. The second device, ResQPODR ITD 16, is an impedance threshold device that prevents the influx of unnecessary air through the open airway during CPR. Working together, the devices create an enhanced vacuum in the chest to improve blood flow to vital organs during states of low blood flow such as in cardiac arrest. As of July 13, the Sylvania Township Fire Department has had 25 cardiac arrest incidents. “The opportunity to work with Lucas County EMS to implement the ZOLL CPR DEVICES TO 8
