EQUIPMENT NEEDS:

Chaya Bar-Evan proposes equipping Gold Hill V olunteer Fire

Department’s jump bags with quantitative capnography and

supraglottic airway devices (i-gels) to improve critical medical

emergency response in their remote, mountainous community,

especially given potential delays in ALS/paramedic arrival. These

additions would enhance airway management and monitoring

capabilities, significantly benefiting patient outcomes in scenarios like

cardiac arrest or respiratory failure, and strengthening their ability to

care for the local elementary school population and visitors. The total

estimated investment for this equipment and initial training ranges

from $1,840 to $3,040, offering substantial capability enhancement

for a modest cost.
