Here at Greene County Ambulance Service, we wanted to show off some new equipment we just put in service. First are the Stryker Lifepak 35 touchscreen-based cardiac monitor/defibrillators. . These replace the Lifepak 15's that we currently have. The 35's are state of the art machines that allow us to bring another level of care to our Greene County residents. The second piece of equipment are the new GlideScope Go 2 portable video laryngoscope. These are designed for rapid, first pass successful airways in the field. The GlideScope 2 is the same video laryngoscope used in many hospital settings. The GlideScope 2 along with the Lifepak 35 and our monthly training programs are some of the many ways we are striving to improve our ability to care for our Greene County residents. Stryker and GlideScope reps were on hand to assist in training. Thank you Director David Simpson, Training Officer Samantha Thornton, and everyone else behind the scenes for making these a reality. And thank you to all of the crews for your passion and dedicated service to the Greene County residents. Subscribe to our page for other new and exciting things to come.
