Seven hearts still beating: How communities save lives with CPR and defibs

Our crew carry equipment and medicine more commonly found in a hospital Emergency Room than on an ambulance.
Our new kit bags have a modular design containing pouches where each bag is task based so we have exactly what we need for each medical intervention in a specific pouch - or combination of pouches. This method saves time both on scene and when replenishing used kit.
When they arrive on scene they lay out their kit in a specific way so that everything is on hand and they can rely on muscle memory to know exactly where everything is.
