On March 8, the Oviedo Fire Department demonstrated their new, high-tech Ambu King Vision Laryngoscopes and Lucas CPR devices for the media.
The King Vision scopes are reusable devices that help firefighters and paramedics intubate a patient, immediately, at the scene of a medical or traumatic injury, or pre-hospital care. The scopes were designed to reduce soft tissue damage when dealing with difficult intubation.
The scopes were purchased in November 2022 by the department as part of medical supply needs in the budget, and firefighters from each shift had a three-day training period, practicing on medical mannequins and watching a training video supplied by the company.
“It is the mission of the Oviedo Fire Department to leverage the latest technology to provide the highest quality care for our residents,” said Oviedo Fire Chief Michael Woodward. “These video laryngoscopes are a valuable tool for our firefighter/paramedics that aid in increasing on-scene successful intubations, contributing to increased survivability for our patients.”
The scopes are battery-operated and have advanced imaging technology, ergonomic design and an anti-glare screen that can be used in any situation a firefighter/paramedic may face. The laryngoscopes come with a pediatric video adapter with an LED light source and a camera at the tip of the scope.
Along with the new scopes, Firefighters demonstrated Lucas Devices, which were purchased in 2021. The Lucas Device is a chest compression system that fits adult cardiac patients and is not restricted by weight. The Lucas Device is an automatic chest compression machine that can be manually placed over the patient for precise chest compressions and CPR.
The Lucas devices were purchased as part of an EMS matching grant and have been used 23 times in the field since they went into service. The device provides a critical service for the department during life-saving situations.

Be Bear Aware Oviedo!
Oviedo’s location along Seminole County’s rural boundary makes it a prime setting for human bear interactions, especially in areas abutting the Little and Big Econlockhatchee Rivers. With several bear sightings occurring in the City recently, now is a great time to learn more about our furry neighbors.
If you see a bear in your community, remain calm and stay away from the bear. The bear is most likely just passing through and will not linger or return if it does not find a reward, such as food. If you encounter a bear at close range, do not play dead or run from the bear. Avoid direct eye contact, back away slowly with arms raised, and speak in a calm assertive voice.
