SWEMS adds CPAP capabilities

The members of SWEMS have received approval to add Emergency CPAP (Continuous Positive airway Pressure) to our patient care capabilities. This skill and the necessary equipment will allow our EMTs to provide improved care to patients having severe respiratory distress.

Our EMTs recently attended a joint training on this new skill with members of CVAS that was held by the Steuben County EMS Coordinator Brandon Rosettie.
