BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Th e City's LifePak 12 s are an excepti onal diagnos ti c tool that shou ld continu e to serve th e City for
another fou r or fi ve years. Fire personnel believe it is necessary to add th e fo ll owing upgrades to
provide th e "S tandard of Care" defi ned by D enve r M etro Em erge ncy Medica l Servi ce s providers:
• End Tidal Carbon Dio,ide Detector is used to ve rify endntrach eae l tube pla ce m ent end
criti ca l diagn osis of acute res piratory and ca rdi ac probl ems . Englewood is th e only agency
in th e So uth Denve r Metro Area without this capab ili ty.
• Aulomated Blood Pressure Cuff is used to constantl y monito r a pati ent 's blood pressure at
the sce ne and en ro ute. This tool is critical in detecting sudden changes in th e pati ent's
condition, and it frees up personnel to do oth er tasks .
• Built In Pulse O,imeler Monitor would rep lace handheld units . Thi s tool co ntinually
monit ors pati ent's oxyge n sa turati on leve ls.
Al so, software is avai labl e to downl oa d the Jiagn es ti c information in to th e Fire Manager Medica l
Pati ent reports . Currently th e vendor, Medtronic, has a special offe r providing a free upgrade if two
others are purchased. Th e total cost of upgrading th e two units is $14,837.
