INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM

From: Greg Benson,Fire Chief 6 5,7
RE: P.R. 23354 - City of Port Arthur Proposed Resolution—Accept the donation of
two Zoll Auto Pulse devices at an estimated cost of $47,000 from Golden Pass
LNG, LLC.,
Nature of the request:
Accepting a donation of two Zoll Auto Pulse devices from Golden Pass LNG,LLC., to
contribute to life saving capability for residents,visitors, and workers in the City of Port
Arthur. The approximate cost of the two devices is $47,000.00. The donation will allow Auto
Pulse devices to be placed in Engine 2 and Engine 4 enhancing lifesaving capability during
response to cardiac arrest incidents.
Background
Emergency medical events that result in cardiac arrest of the patient are life threatening with
limited potential for resuscitation unless appropriate actions are taken in a short time frame.
The ability for Port Arthur Fire Department(PAFD)to respond within national standards of six
minutes and initiate actions for effective Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation(CPR) is a major
determinant in the patient outcome.
With the City support, PAFD had implemented two Zoll Auto Pulse devices approximately 18
months ago. The survivability of patients in cardiac arrest has increased approximately 30%
since implementation. The Sabine Pass, Pleasure Island and West Side area do not have the
most appropriate level of response time with Auto Pulses due to a lack of Auto Pulse resources
Engine 2 and Engine 4.
The donation made by Golden Pass LNG LLC., will increase lifesaving capability in the
response areas of Engine 2 and Engine 4. Their willingness to invest in the devices will
enhance the potential to save the life of someone in cardiac arrest.
