5 ventilators to Salem
Health courtesy of MCFD1
By MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
As the COVID-19 virus continues to
spread through the Salem-Keizer area, Marion
County Fire District #1 stepped up in a major
way by donating all fi ve of their ventilators to
Salem Hospital.
“The strength of our community is not
found in individuals or stand-
alone organizations, but the
way in which we all band
together when challenges
come our way. Thank you
Marion County Fire District
for being a partner we can
always count on,” said Leilani
Slama, Salem Hospital’s Vice
President of Community
Engagement.
MCFD#1
normally
carries ventilators in their
ambulances, but fi re chief
Kyle McMann felt that they
were put to better use at
Salem Hospital, especially
with the number of patients they receive at
the hospital that are dealing with COVID-19
symptoms.
“Ventilators are vital to the healthcare system
to assist patients that are not able to breathe
on their own or have diffi culty breathing on
their own due to medical conditions, including
COVID-19 complications,” McMann said.
“There is also concern that the number of
ventilators available will not meet demand as
the infection rate increases.”
McMann says that the district can still
operate effectively and effi ciently and that the
lack of ventilators won’t have an impact.
“We are mindful of what our local system
needs and we are able to use a bag valve mask
ventilation delivery system
when patients need us to
breathe for them during a
relatively short transport
to the hospital (15-20
minutes),” McMann said.
“But a ventilated patient in
the hospital needs hours, days
or weeks on a ventilator, so a
mechanical means to ventilate
is more critical in the hospital.
Their need was greater and it
does not reduce our services
or level of care at all.”
McMann also encourages
people to practice social
distancing to help slow the
spread of COVID-19 and that MCFD#1 plans
to continue to serve the community to the
best of their ability.
“Stay home and stay safe, we are fl attening
the curve and MCFD#1 is prepared to
respond to this crisis and have plans in place
to provide all services during this time to the
community,” McMann said.
