More exciting new equipment and practices coming soon to WCAD!

Medical director, Dr. Shayne Keddy held class today with a group of our CCT providers over thoracostomy, placement, and suturing of a chest tube and drain system for the chest trauma patient.

For the lay person: Severe trauma to the chest such as serious motor vehicle accidents, logging and industrial accidents, and long falls, can result in a condition known as hemothorax. Hemothorax is a collection of blood in the space between the chest wall and the lung cavity that ultimately causes collapse of one or both lungs, and subsequently traumatic cardiac arrest. A tube is placed in the chest and a drain system attached. This helps to manage the condition until the patient arrives in a facility with surgical capabilities.

Washington County has over 700 square miles of coverage area. Much of that area is extremely remote with an extended transport time to any stabilizing facility. Given the time sensitivity of chest trauma, this addition to our clinical tool box is long overdue and very much needed for the patients that we serve. We couldn’t be more excited about the ability to offer this treatment when it matters the most.

Over the past 18 months, WCAD has also improved and upgraded our services to include a new Sprinter Type 3 ambulance, bariatric stretcher, advanced sepsis protocol with antibiotic administration, ZOLL cardiac monitors capable of invasive line monitoring, ReVel mechanical ventilators, and Braun infusion pumps. We also boast that every ambulance is CCT capable and now offer 4 full time crews with the ability to quickly up-staff to better meet the needs of our district. We are proud to ensure continuous coverage for our community and support for our neighbors while offering the most advanced clinical care. ... See MoreSee Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

We are pleased to announce the addition of an 8th ambulance to the fleet here at WCAD!

The new addition to our fleet is a Sprinter Type 3 ambulance. The Sprinter model boasts plenty of room in the patient compartment while increasing fuel economy and reducing operating costs.

This ambulance "6987" is a ground Critical Care Transport (CCT) vehicle equipped with all items needed to care for the most critically ill patients.

Did you know? All ambulances at WCAD are CCT capable? We ensure 4 ambulances are staffed 24/7/365. In addition, we up-staff resources due to surge in call volume (emergency/911 calls, hospital to hospital transfers: basic, advanced and critical care). It's not uncommon to have 6 crews on the road at one time!

Common equipment found on our fleet of CCT ambulances includes: Zoll Cardiac Monitor & Defibrillator capable of invasive line monitoring, ReVel Ventilator, Braun Infusion Pumps and a compliment of over 70 medications!

We are proud to ensure coverage for our community and neighbors while offering second to none clinical care! ... See MoreSee Less
