It has blue tooth technology to transmit data to various locations as well....as the plan evolves and grows, the patient could bypass the ER room and go directly to the cath lab...and there's a built in GPS clock...synchronize the data and time stamp...BD
The Council Bluffs Fire Department received new machines Friday and a dozen other towns are slated to receive them this month. "Every transport unit is going to get one," Jolene Henning with Alegent Health said.
"They are buying the Zoll E series sensors and a package that goes with it," Brad Sauser with Carson EMS said. "It's going to give us the ability to do what is called '12 lead.'" "As this program develops and evolves, we would bypass the ER altogether and go directly to the cath lab," Treynor EMS officer Tony Eblen said.
According to Henning, all cardiac cath lab technicians are on call after hours and it can take up to 30 minutes for them to respond. With the new equipment, those technicians could be on site and set up by the time the patient arrives.

AHH!! NO THE ZOLL E SERIES!!
ReplyDeleteI've worked extensively with many ECGs, the ZOLL monitors are the least useable, least reliable out there.
They are more prone to artifact than any other unit. You WILL NOT be able to get a good diagnostic tracing NOR a 12 Lead.
The artifact is SO bad, that I will hands down say that this ECG simply makes on scene/en route interpretation too unreliable to be worth anything. I am hesitant to even initiate an arrhythmia treatment from these things.
Save yourself and your patients, use a LP12
You must out there doing the job..good information added and thank you for adding and making others aware.
