FireRescue1 is focusing on news and information about Rehabilitation products throughout the month of July, 2008. Check out some of these great rehab products currently on the site:
Coyote Camp Offers Nutritionally Balanced Meals and Rehab Products
At emergency events, tired people make mistakes. It takes more than calories to fuel a hardworking crew. In addition to burning calories, firefighters, search and rescue specialists, dive rescue personnel, disaster response teams and emergency service crews also burn carbohydrates, proteins, fats, sugars, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Of course, there is also the huge amount of sweat we all generate during strenuous work. Replenishing our bodies during and after these operations is vital to maintaining a strong crew. Coyote Camp provides road-ready, easy-to-pack nutrition. For more information, contact Coyote Camp at 970-224-0651 or visit www.coyotecamp.com.
Masimo's Rad-57 Tests for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Noninvasively
Carbon monoxide is a significant threat on the fire scene, and a huge risk for firefighters and first responders. The Rad-57™ pulse oximeter is a breakthrough in detecting carbon poisoning quickly and easily. The Rad-57 eliminates the risk of misdiagnosing unsuspected CO poisoning as flu or fatigue and is small, rugged, and easy to use in the field. More departments are supporting firefighter health by making carbon monoxide screening part of their rehabilitation program. For more information, visit www.firerehab.com.
