Bradley EMS helps with heart study
CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Members of Bradley County’s emergency medical service have participated in a daylong study with Physio-Control, maker of the cardiac monitors carried in county ambulances.
Eleven experienced paramedics worked with a clinical specialist, design engineer and a sales representative from Physio-Control on future improvements to the device, according to a news release from EMS spokesman Stan Clark.
“These cardiac monitors have made a huge difference in assessing cardiac patients and can literally diagnose if a person is experiencing a heart attack. This allows paramedics to share the information with the emergency room physicians and it can be determined quickly where the patient needs to go for treatment,” he said.
