EKG upgrade

AUBURN - The five ambulance rigs making up the city of Auburn's ambulance services are riding with new portable electrocardiogram units.

The units have updated technology involving the units' electric-shock-giving defibrillators, electrocardiogram monitors and many other functions.

Many other ambulance services in the county already had this model, Medtronic's Lifepak 12 portable EKG machines. The Rural/Metro first responder staff are “thrilled” about getting the same technology, said Laura Martin-Reed, senior paramedic who's been with Rural/Metro for six years, during a demonstration Tuesday of the functions of new units.
