What’s New at CCEMS? AmbuMan Advanced!

CCEMS was awarded a grant from the Calhoun County Foundation, the Grow Green County Grant, in February 2025. This grant funded the purchase of an AmbuMan Advanced Manikin- we’ve named him “Timmy”!

Timmy provides skills training for airway management, ECG simulation, defibrillation, and training on IV and IO access techniques. Timmy is equipped with the Ambu Manikin Management Module- which allows wireless control, documentation, and monitoring while providers are performing skills on him. The management module can record CPR parameters and report back how well the skills are performed. The instructor can create custom training scenarios that can be adjusted anytime during the training, making Timmy very versatile for training opportunities!

What's new at CCEMS? Intraosseous Access Drills (IO Drill)!

CCEMS was able to purchase Intraosseous Access Drills (IO Drill). While most patients that need fluids or medication access can use a traditional IV, some trauma situations make placing a traditional IV difficult or impossible. The IO Drill provides a way for medics to place a line directly into the bone marrow in the shoulder or shin, giving fluids and life saving medications a direct route into the circulatory system.

These IO Drills are an upgrade from the IO “Punch” that was used previously on our ambulances. The drills require less force, have a higher success rate, and can provide less complications from a access line being placed.
