Through generous community donations, the Lisbon Volunteer Fire Company recently purchased a $15,000 AutoPulse Cardiac Support Pump to assist with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) incidents.

Getting adequate blood flow to the brain and heart are important goals of CPR. Unfortunately, manual CPR suffers from significant limitations. The AutoPulse Non-invasive Cardiac Support Pump automatically pumps the patient's chest in order to circulate blood to the heart and brain.

The device is on the cutting edge of medical technology and has been proven to provide 80 percent of pre-cardiac arrest blood flow with its chest compressions.

We are very proud to be on the forefront of emergency medical technology. Our organization is the first volunteer fire company in the state of Maryland to independently purchase this device. We would like to thank our citizens for their commitment and dedication to providing our community with the best emergency services available.
