(Post photo/Grace R. Dove) Jackson Twp. adds to ambulance By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff A donation of $3,000 from the Jackson Township supervisors to the ambulance association has helped update emergency equip- ment, according toambulance chief Carl Schmitt. Schmitt said that two new two- channel pagers, two sets of pneu- matic anti-shock garments, two special traction splints and a pedi- atric long board were added to the ambulance equipment in order to bring it up to Pennsylvania state standards. “Our voice pagers alone cost $560 each,” Schmitt said. “And several of the old ones needed repairs.” The pagers are tuned to Jackson Township's private fre- quency and the main Back Moun- tain Communications Center [re- quency. EMT's use the pneumatic anti- shock garments as inflatable leg splints or in cases of life-threaten- ing injuries with heavy bleeding, where blood flow to the patient's lower body and legs must be re- stricted so that it can be concen- tratedVin the chest and brain. These garments can only be used under a doctor's order, Schmitt said. After the EMT radios the patient's vital signs to the emer- gency room, the doctor radios instructions back, telling the EMT how much to inflate the garment. Repeated checks of vital signs and possible adjustments to the equipment “Jackson Township really needs anew ambulance,” Schmitt added. “Our old vehicle is too small to carryallthe necessary equipment.” Anew ambulance equipped with only a radio costs between $75,000 and $80,000, Schmitt said. The ambulance crew plans to transfer its existing emergency equipment into the new vehicle. The ambulance association will plan a fund-raiser for the new vehicle at ils next meeting. “Jackson Township's ambu- lance is staffed by 100% volun- teers, concerned citizens who want to provide the township with the best possible emergency care,” Schmitt said. The ambulance association meets the third Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the ambu- lance hall behind the fire hall. New members are always welcome. inflation of the garment are made until the patient is stabilized and can be transported. The special Hare traction splints are used for upper thigh fractures, where the broken bone must be immobilized to prevent further injury, Schmitt said. Both' the Hare traction splint and the ‘pneumatic anti-shock garments have béen purchased in adult and children’s sizes. A long board specially designed for children was also added to the ambulance equipment. Next on the agenda is a new vehicle in which to place the equip- ment.
