PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Briefly describe the Project:
The "TIMI 19 — Retavase project" is a unique and break -through study for the
prehospital emergency medical system in Broward County which relies heavily on the
current technology to offer accurate and reliable analysis of patient's electrocardiogram
and vital signs. The multi -agency grant will provide these selected departments with the
technology needed to provide expedient and quality care to the residents of Broward
County. The technology that is being requested is the use of a portable intensive care
system. The device will provide paramedic crews with a compact multi -functioning and
analyzing tool which data can then be transmitted to hospital staff through land or
cellular phone lines. The emergency room physicians can now be provided with a
complete overview of the patient's status in one transmission; there by, increasing the
comfort zone of physicians to give medical orders for the life saving drug. The device
will provide the emergency room staff with 12 lead electrocardiogram, SpO2, blood
pressure, pulse, and respiration. In addition, the device provides paramedics with a
defibrillator, pacer, synchronized cardioversion, and CO2 display. As a result, residents
with acute myocardial infarctions will have a decreased percentage of tissue damage
because of the decreased time in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating.
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 chance after the grant is completed?
. The paramedic field has changed dramatically over the years, and with each new
advance comes an improvement in the patient care and outcome. The City of Miramar,
Tamarac, North Lauderdale, and Broward County Fire Rescue Departments are
embarking on another step to improve the care to its residents by participating in the
"TIMI 19 — Retavase Project" which will provide expedient care and treatment for acute
myocardial infarctions in the prehospital setting. The project analysis is that due to the
expeditious transport and the limited number of personnel on the rescue truck that
patient care tends to not be efficient. The analysis affects the stakeholders of
approximately four fire - rescue departments, 1.5 million residents of Broward County,
and area hospitals. The root cause is that current patient evaluation tools operate
separately which incorporate various limitations ;for example, current equipment can not
transmit vital signs and 12 lead electrocardiogram to emergency room staff in one
printout for evaluation. In addition, current equipment must be continuously initiated
and evaluated by paramedic like blood pressures, pulse, SpO2, and respiration which is
time consuming for two person crew. The corrective action is providing the rescue units
with the newest and state of the art portable intensive care systems. The device will
provide hospitals with a complete printout of patient's vital signs and electrocardiogram.
In addition, these vital signs can be accomplished automatically by the device which
allows the crews with limited number of personnel to perform other aspects of patient
care. In conclusion, residents with acute myocardial infarction have a better outcome
because of reduced time between patient contact and hospital arrival through the use of
an automatic vital signs and reduction of the time for door to drug with improved
communication between hospital staff and rescue.

What do you want to be your specific objectives, outcome or accomplishment if
your grant is funded? Your objective should be accomplished if your grant is
funded? Your objective should be measurable, obtainable, and specify a key
result to be accomplished. What will be different because of your grant? What
type of return in terms of improving or expanding EMS will there be from funding
your project? Examples: To train 50 people to To reduce response
time by minutes. To equip 6 teams with
The goal is to equip 9 rescue units which are preparing to take part in the "TIMI 19 —
Retavase project" with the portable intensive care systems. The objective is to provide
expedient diagnosis and treatment of acute myocardial infarction which will be
measured with the external data source. The external data source will measure the
patient contact time to arrival time at the hospital compared to the previous year's
times. The desired result will be a decreased time taken to recognize acute myocardial
infarction, transmit to hospital, monitor vital signs while administering medication, and
transport for definitive care. The reduced time of door to drug will decrease the amount
of damage to the heart with the reversal to the occluded arteries to the hear and
increase the odds of full recovery.
