PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Briefly describe the project. Please use generic words for products.
The City currently uses a bag -valve mask system for those patients who require
ventilation. The City operates 7 ALS units. Funding is being sought through this grant process
provide for seven (7) automatic ventilators, one for placement on each of the City's ALS units.
All paramedics will be trained in use of the equipment by the vendor.
EMS IMPROVEMENT AND EXPANSION
Briefly describe how this project will improve and expand prehospital EMS within
Broward County. For example: What is the need for this project? What is the situation
now? How will it change after the grant is completed?
A review of Broward County Fire and Rescue dispatch reports for the period 1/1/99
through 12/31/99 reveals that Tamarac responded to 7,279 medical calls.
Detailed analysis of the run reports for December 1999 reveals that 237 of the 488
patients transported required oxygen. Of these 237 patients, eighteen (18) required ventilation
in the form of intubation (seventeen patients) or bag -valve -mask (one patient). Follow up of
these 18 patients reveals that 8 patients died before hospital discharge. The eighteen patients
who needed ventilation during December would extrapolate to 275 for calendar year 1999 with
an estimated mortality rate of 44%.
Automatic ventilators on each of the City's seven (7) ALS units would decrease the
potential for human error and decrease mortality rate.
The City maintains mutual aid agreements with each of the surrounding communities
and this equipment would be available in those instances where mutual aid is rendered.
