The equipment given partial credit in saving his life is pretty damn nice. Those automated chest compression machines are pretty rare. I've played with a Glidescope before and they're really nice with that camera on the end. Helps a boatload in seeing down the throat compared to the usually pretty dim light on a laryngoscope. Would have been interesting to hear what kind of heart monitor they have. The newest models are badass, like Lifepak 12 and 15's. They can wirelessly send heart rhythms to the receiving hospital in real time, so the physician can give additional instructions/recommendations while treating the patient and en route.
