CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) -New devices that will be installed in Cape County Private Ambulance vehicles could help save lives.
“Time is essential in most of our medical diagnoses,” said Christina Degenhardt, Cape County Private Ambulance Service Paramedic.
When paramedics respond to emergencies, these new monitors and defibrillators will save time.
“We’ll be bringing these monitors into the houses, in people’s homes and facilities because they’re lighter. So it’s a lot easier to get them off the truck, get them inside,” she said.
