The team is often referred to as ‘heroes’ and the equipment they use is equally important in their missions.
“Sometimes you get out of the helicopter, you have to pick up your bags and you have to trek through the forest to get to your patient,” Chen said.The transport ventilator was key back in September, when two-year-old Liam Filipuzzi suddenly began having seizures at their home in Coleman. The toddler had no family history and no strange symptoms.His mother Lindsey, a nurse, rushed him to the local hospital in Crowsnest Pass area.
