12 Lead EKG Machine for Hope EMS:

The Lifepak 15 monitor/defibrillator was given to Hope EMS by the Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation. The purpose of the 12 Leads is to do a diagnostic EKG while traveling to the hospital. Subsequently, the technicians will transmit the results to both the Emergency Room and the doctors' cell phone. By doing this, Tift Regional and the doctor will be able to save time by getting prepared for the cardiac arrest patient before they arrive.
