TCAD Paramedics Purchase Transport Ventilators

Branson, Mo.  August, 2016. TCAD Paramedics have taken delivery of O-TWO e700 Ventilators. A total of 11 ventilators were purchased using capital equipment funding. The O-TWO e700 ventilators are specifically designed to be used in the pre-hospital environment. All TCAD Paramedics units are now outfitted with this new equipment. The new ventilators have multiple options for helping patients and can be used as a traditional ventilator, CPAP or BiPap machine. These ventilators will give paramedics more ways to help patients having respiratory emergencies.

O-TWO representatives were on site to help train TCAD Paramedics personnel on the proper use of this new equipment. TCAD Paramedics also coordinated with Cox Medical Center Branson’s Respiratory Therapy Department to ensure our ventilators will work seamlessly with their equipment. TCAD Paramedics are excited to provide this new life saving equipment to the residents and visitors of Taney County.
