The province of Tyrol is investing around 238,000 euros in new mechanical resuscitation equipment. These are intended in particular to provide support during long resuscitations. They are also used during transportation in the vehicles.

In an emergency, every second counts! In order to be optimally equipped for the worst-case scenario, the province of Tyrol is investing around 238,000 euros and equipping 13 emergency vehicles with new mechanical resuscitation aids. "This additional equipment is a necessary and sensible measure," explains Health Minister Cornelia Hagele (ÖVP).

The mechanical resuscitation aid provides support for rescue service personnel, particularly during transportation.

The new devices are to be used when resuscitation measures are carried out - for example after a circulatory or respiratory arrest. The mechanical aids are intended to support manual resuscitation.

Fully automatic cardiac massage
This is particularly the case when resuscitation is required over a longer period of time. The device ensures a fully automatic cardiac massage with a constant rhythm. "The mechanical resuscitation aid provides support for rescue service personnel, especially during transportation. This technology allows us to significantly increase the safety and efficiency of resuscitation," says Hagele.
