(KAIR)--Atchison County Emergency Services has added a new state of the art piece of lifesaving equipment, unveiled, and installed, last week.
According to a release, the new equipment, known as the Zoll Autopulse NXT, was added to the department- ambulances and Captain's vehicle, with crews having completed training on the device in recent days. The release notes that the Atchison Fire Department and Atchison County Emergency Management also participated in the training.
The Autopulse, the release explains, is a mechanical CPR machine, which provides continuous chest compressions without the loss of efficiency that accompanies manual chest compressions performed by a person. The machine is also is a force multiplier, which allows emergency staff to perform other lifesaving interventions during a cardiac arrest incident.
