Our HEARTfelt thanks to The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey for the generous grant covering 90% of the cost of a LUCAS 3 automatic chest compression system. Now both of our frontline ambulances will have this invaluable device in a time when our costs keep going up but donations remain unchanged.

While mechanical compressions have been shown to be no more (or less) effective than human compressions, automatic systems do provide the cardiac arrest patient to consistent compressions even when circumstances are not ideal, and keep our EMTs safer while they focus on the things that humans do better.
