SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, May 27, 2017 SVFR and WLAD join for inter-agency training Western Lane Ambulance District (WLAD) and Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue (SVFR), recently joined with medical staff at Regency Florence Rehabilitation Center to practice a real-time cardiac arrest patient, interagency training drill. According to the American Heart Association, cardiac arrest is reversible in most vic- tims if treated within a few minutes. It’s critical to recognize the symptoms and act quickly and appropriately. “Training and events like these are key in developing relationships and skill sets in a pre-hospital emergency set- ting,” said Matt House, WLAD Operations Manager. WLAD and SVFR some- times respond jointly to 3 A U.S. Coast Guard delivers foghorn Rehabilitation Centers, partic- ularly in situations that call for cardiac arrest resuscitation. Minutes prove to be criti- cal when it pertains to restor- ing a heartbeat in these cases. A cardiac arrest patient requires great CPR and early defibrillation, in addition to other advanced cardiac life support such as airway sup- port, IV access, cardiac media- tions and transport to the hos- pital emergency department, if necessary. “These life-saving efforts involve exceptional teamwork, demanding that the local first responder agencies work in unison. “Team training exercises such as these, are the keys to success which, in the end, lead to saving lives,” House said. On Wednesday morning, the U.S. Coast Guard placed a fog horn on the tip of the Siuslaw River North Jetty. Coos Bay Aids to Navigation Team (ANT) and Air Station North Bend mem- bers worked collaboratively from the ground and air to set the heavy piece of equipment in place. Every fall, the foghorn is removed due to severe weather conditions over the winter and it returns in the spring.
