£20 could pay for one set of tubing for our ventilator, helping patients like Carole to breathe when in a coma
£40 could buy five sets of pressure transducers, used to measure blood pressure without needing to use a cuff around a patient’s arm
£65 could buy a pressure infuser for patients who need rapid administration of fluids or blood due to low blood pressure or bleeding
£5 a month for 1 year could buy disposable tubing that blood passes through. This attaches to our blood warmer to rapidly bring chilled blood to body temperature so it can be safely transfused into a patient.
£7.50 a month for 1 year could pay for seven closed suction catheters, which allow our crews to safely clear secretions from breathing tubes.
£10 a month for 1 year could buy protective footwear (with toe protection) for one of our crew. It is not always possible to land beside the casualty. Our crews need to be able to get from the helicopter to the casualty to help anyone at any time, whatever the weather, so the right boots are essential.
