EPIPEN
This is a prepackaged dose of adrenaline used in the instances where one
has been exposed to an allergic substance and may be experiencing severe
anaphylaxis. This dose of adrenaline can be life saving if injected early and
administered correctly into the thigh of the anaphylactic patient.
AED (Automated External Deϐibrillator)
This is an extremely vital piece of equipment. This is used on a
patient who is in cardiac arrest in order to deliver an electrical
shock to the heart which may be in a fatal arrhythmia. This
treatment is provided in conjuction with CPR. The AED is easy
to use and can be found in most public areas. Look for the AED in
the blue Hatzolah emergency cabinet at most Jewish installations
such as shuls, schools and halls.
ALS (Advanced Life Support) JUMP BAG
This bag is carried by our ALS responders. The bag consists of
everything that you will require to save the patient’s life. The
equipment includes advanced airway equipment, intubation
equipment and certain means of gaining intravenous therapy
when the more conventional methods are not possible.
MEDICAL SUNDRIES
The shelves of the ambulance are ϐilled with everything we
need to treat a patient. We use a multitude of disposable
stock items when treating patients. Gauze, banadages,
plasters, tape, intraveneous lines, syringes, needles,
oxygen masks and more. We stock more than we would
need to treat one patient so that we do not need to return
to the base to restock between calls.
ANAESTHETIC DRUG FRIDGE
Having a fridge in the car allows the ALS responders to have access to certain life saving drugs that
need to remain cold. The fridge also contains freeze dry plasma for patients that have internal bleeding.
