KCEAA announces new CPR protocol "20 minutes for life"
On April 16, the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority announced a new protocol for responding to cardiac arrest calls, to improve outcomes for those patients.
The goal of the program, called "20 minutes for life," is to increase survivability by providing quality, uninterrupted CPR for 20 minutes.
Also, KCEAA was granted $98,000 for Lucas CPR devices to help medics perform continuous CPR. In January, the Kanawha County Commission earmarked funds to help with this effort to help save lives.
