State Plan: Brief synopsis and relationship to state plan goal, if applicable. f21L1 7. Project Description/Justification: This is the NEED STATEMENT. Describe and justify the project. Include: (1) all available numerical data, time frames for the data, data source; (2) number of people directly impacted by the grant(s); (3) whether the project will serve single municipality, county, multicounty, or regional area; and, (4) whether the project will coordinate with other EMS organizations. NEED STATEMENT: (use only the space provided) Funding is being sought through this grant process to purchase 7 automatic ventilators, one for placement on each of the City's ALS units. A review of the Broward County Fire and Rescue Dispatch reports for the period of 1/1/99 through 12/31/99 reveals that Tamarac responded to 7,279 medical calls. EMS run reports for the same period show that 4,799 of these patients required transport to the local hospital. Of those who required transport, 3,634 required oxygen. Because of manpower constraints, detailed analysis of the EMS run reports were feasible only for December, 1999. Analysis of the EMS run reports for the period 12/1/99 through 12/31/99 reveals that 237 of the 488 patients who were transported, required oxygen. Of those patients transported in December 1999 who required oxygen, eighteen required ventilation in the form of intubation (seventeen patients) or bag -valve -mask (one patient). In an attempt to determine patient outcome, we contacted the hospital referencing these 18 patients and determined that 8 of the patients died before hospital discharge. The 18 patients who needed ventilation with incubation or a bag -valve -mask during December would extrapolate to 275 for all of 1999 with an estimated mortality rate of 122. According to Broward County Fire Rescue Dispatch data for calendar year 1999, the length of the average call in Tamarac is 38 minutes. Assuming that patients are properly intubated, automatic ventilators on each of our ALS units would drastically decrease the potential for human error. Automatic ventilators would deliver proper respiratory rate and tidal volumes 100% of the time, thereby greatly increasing patient outcome. This equipment would be made available to all of Tamarac's 52,413 residents who require ventilatory assistance (est. 275 annually). Additionally, the City maintains mutual aid agreements with each of the surrounding communities and the equipment would also be available in those instances where mutual aid is rendered. 25 8. Outcome measurable: Degree to which need will be met or changed. (use only the space provided) Analysis of the hospital records for each of the 18 patients transported in December of 1999 who required ventilatorly assistance reveals that 8 of the 18 expired prior to hospital discharge. Placement of automatic ventilators on each of the City of Tamarac's seven (7) ALS units will ensure that every patient who requires ventilatorly assistance will be delivered proper respiratory rate and tidal volume 100% of the time thereby increasing patient outcome. . 9.
