PAMCMF awards Midland County Emergency Medical Services Advisory Board funds to support purchase of six additional Lucas devices. The Lucas device is a mechanical chest compression device for patients in cardiac arrest. The device provides continuous and consistent chest compressions for as long as compressions are needed, thereby alleviating first responder fatigue and inadequate chest compressions and allowing first responders to focus on other life-saving measures such as ventilation. The devices will be deployed and used by first responders from Fire Departments across Midland County.
