Looking for a scoop-stretcher (must have pins); preferably plastic.

I have a Zoll AED plus that is allegedly months past its warranty expiry. Upon conducting the self test, it reports "Unit Failed". I have tried replacing the batteries and pads; negative results. Any thoughts or suggestions? Zoll wants an absurd amount just to look at it, plus parts and...

I've been asked to help pick out an AED for a local community group for whom I regularly provide CPR training to who is on a fairly tight budget. I've always been partial to PhysioControl for monitors, and our service has a few LP1000s (mainly for special events; bike units; etc.) which, in my...

Although many EMS services in our region and across Canada/USA have adopted automated CPR devices (primarily the LUCAS II; with a few outliers electing to go for the Zoll AutoPulse), I recently stumbled across another (newer?) product by Defibtech to enter this arena: The Lifeline ARM? Has...

Hi Everyone, I was visiting another EMS service a few weeks ago and had the opportunity to look at some of their equipment. While looking at their portable D O2 tanks, I noticed that they had black plastic valve attachments (that I later found out snapped in place) to allow the medic's to...

Hi Everyone, My service is looking to purchase a (inexpensive) airway head/doll to practice insertion of OPAs/NPAs and King Tubes. I was hoping that some of you might have some suggestions/input with respect to a) what model (or brand) to get (that will suit our needs) /what ones to avoid...

Hello, Our service is looking at purchasing new trauma bags. We can get the Ferno 5111 Trauma/O2 or the 5107 Professional Trauma Bag for the same price (+/- $5). Having said that, our service currently carries O2 in a separate bag and will most likely continue to do so, simply for weight...

Hello, We are going to be implementing a BLS Bike Medic Team in light of a large upcoming festival at the end of August. A sponsor has recently donated several R&B 1306 bags that we plan to use as mini-trauma bags. (Additional bags will be needed/purchased for O2/AED). In addition to...
