RAV Utrecht (RAVU), the Utrecht Regional Ambulance Service, has announced that it will equip its entire emergency response fleet with LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillators from Physio-Control .

The LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator is the industry leader and offers clinical efficacy, operational efficiency and excellent usability. For more than twenty years, RAVU’s emergency medical services have used LIFEPAK devices. Throughout the collaboration, Physio-Control has partnered to support the central pillars of RAVU’s service: patient-centered care, training and research.

“The LIFEPAK devices are familiar to our teams, the enhanced interfaces build upon earlier generations of LIFEPAK devices while adding important functions. They will allow for smooth transition training when they are implemented,” said Adrie Duizendstra, RAVU Facility Manager. “They are as easy to use as ever but are now more feature-rich. They are highly compatible with our electronic patient care reporting system, a feature which will make our response teams more efficient.”

“We are honored to be continuing our long-standing relationship with RAVU,” said Dré Quirijns, Physio-Control Benelux business manager. “For more than twenty years now, we have been providing RAVU with the latest technology to help them support clinical excellence and their world-class ambulance service.”

In addition to using LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillators, RAV Utrecht was also an early adopter of the Physio-Control LUCAS ^® chest compression system. Performing AHA/ERC guideline-consistent chest compressions at 100 compressions per minute to a depth of 2”, LUCAS can be deployed quickly with minimal interruption to patient care. RAVU participated in a recent large randomized LINC (LUCAS In Clinical Action) clinical study led by the University of Uppsala, which compared the effectiveness of Physio-Control’s LUCAS mechanical chest compression system to high-quality manual chest compressions. Having studied and pioneered with the device for several years, RAVU are now sharing best practices with other Dutch regional ambulance systems.

“We aim to support RAVU with a complete systems approach,” said Mathieu Badard, Physio-Control Vice President and General Manager, EMEA and South Asia. “LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillators and the LUCAS chest compression system are all part of a complete system of care – a full range of resuscitation capabilities and services that we offer to our customers in order to support them in their lifesaving work.”
