Excited to have HCEMS at career day, for the future of EMS! Specialized equipment including LUCAS, Cardiac Monitor, IGel, Intubation, and IO access were available to get a hands on understanding. We had some great questions and are excited to see what's in store for these future professionals!
Here's a little closer look!

* LUCAS: A mechanical chest compression device designed to provide consistent and effective CPR compressions.
* Cardiac Monitor: A device used to monitor a patient's heart rhythm and other vital signs, such as blood pressure and oxygen saturation, end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring, Pacing, and defibrilation.
* IGel: A supraglottic airway device used to secure a patient's airway during resuscitation or anesthesia.
* Intubation: The process of inserting a tube into the trachea to maintain an open airway.
* IO Access: Intraosseous access, a technique used to administer fluids and medications directly into the bone marrow when IV access is not available.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by!
