New Equipment

Because of a state grant, Piedmont EMS was able to purchase a Lucas Device, a mechanical CPR machine. This new state-of-the-art device manually compresses the chest in a cardiac arrest situation, freeing up a set of hands, in turn allowing EMS providers to focus on other life-saving efforts.

​

In addition to the Lucas, Piedmont EMS continues to utilize other equipment such as the Lifepak 15 monitor/defibrillator, a BD IO device, Avel Telehealth Services, and more.
