PLEASE TAKE CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY CARE DURING ALL HOLIDAY AND EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES!
Appliances, consumers, technicians, health care providers:
Make sure your service professional tests each combustion appliance using a testing instrument that can detect carbon monoxide or analyze the combustion gases. Today’s HVAC or boiler technician should also be able to measure building, chimney, duct and fuel pressures; this information may aid in the prevention of combustion system failure and CO generation. If you have symptoms described as carbon monoxide poisoning, seek medical testing! Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
EMS: Advances in technology make a difference in EMS care
The Saratogian By MICHAEL CIGNOLI
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Some of the most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning — headache, dizziness and nausea — are strikingly similar to those of the flu. So similar, Wilton EMS Operations Chief Nash Alexander said, that if a patient didn’t know they had been exposed to the deadly gas, paramedics historically would have treated them for a really bad case of the flu. But relatively new, non-invasive devices called RAD-57 can detect the level of carbon monoxide in a person’s bloodstream in about the time it takes for paramedics to take a victim’s pulse, providing potentially lifesaving readings in a matter of seconds. So similar, Wilton EMS Operations Chief Nash Alexander said, ...
