We would like to announce our King Vision aBlade Video Laryngoscopes that we have recently added to our inventory.  These devices help out in several important ways,  They make it easier on the patient by reducing the trauma can sometimes comes with intubation by making the process easier on the EMS provider to accomplish.  They increase the success rate for intubations.  The actual blade part that contacts the patient is disposable, helping reduce chances of either the patient or provider possibly being exposed to an illness.

We now have AutoPulse unit on all our main trucks.  These devices automatically perform high quality CPR compressions, freeing the crew to handle other important jobs. 

Recently, we added internet service on our ambulances which allows crews to send 12 lead ECG's to ERs. We also started using new software for creating trip tickets on our laptops and tablets.  There are more things happening soon, so stay tuned! 

The monument at our main station in Stoney Creek honors all the people that have volunteered for this organization past and present.  We certainly appreciate them sacrificing their time and energy to help us and the people of Carter County out over the years.  We couldn't have gotten here without them.
