Oneida County Ambulance receives new equipment
The Oneida County Ambulance (OCA) is continuously working to improve their knowledge, skills and equipment as they serve friends, neighbors and travelers within Oneida County. Doing so can be costly to purchase new and up to date equipment, but through various grants and donations, the EMTs have obtained exciting new tools that just might make the difference in saving lives. Through Oneida County ARPA funds and Idaho State EMS grants, the OCA has recently purchased several LUCAS devices, mechanical chest compression systems. These devices will be used in times when patients require CPR and will be able to provide steady and consistent compressions regardless as to what is happening around the patient. There are moments when moving and transporting a patient to definitive care that it can be difficult to perform adequate compressions.
Times like moving a patient down stairs, onto a stretcher or into the ambulance. Even doing compression inside an ambulance can be difficult depending on the road ways. The LUCAS device provides automated compressions that will continue to be effective as a patient is moved through the various stages of transport. The seamless, non-stop quality compressions will provide the greatest outcome for patients in a very scary situation. Because the LUCAS device can provide consistent compressions from the scene to definitive care and through diagnosis and treatment in the hospital, there is a much greater chance of reviving a patient and for that patient to have good neurological functions after. Performing CPR whether on scene, in the ambulance or in the hospital can cause NEW EQUIPMENT On Page 3

The Artemis space program, which is designed to eventually transport humans to the moon in order to establish a lunar outpost, passed the moon on its flight and managed to take remarkable pictures of the lunar surface. The Artemis program includes a number of components produced at the Northrup-Grumman facility in Utah. Recently, several elements of the solid booster for the project were tested at the facility to success. The Orion rocket is the most powerful man made vehicle to date in terms of force and lift.
