The Tri-County Health Care Foundation recently awarded a $1,295 grant to Sebeka Fire and Rescue for the purchase of a Zoll ResQCPR System. After receiving the device, all 19 first responders/firefighters of Sebeka Fire and Rescue attended a training hosted by a Zoll representative.
ResQCPR can provide near-normal blood flow to the brain and vital organs during cardiac arrest, which occurs when an individual's heart malfunctions. This is the only CPR device that has been approved by the FDA for improving the likelihood of survival after cardiac arrest, with a 49-percent increase in one-year survivals.
