Starke County EMS reported this week that its crews underwent some focused training.
In an announcement on Tuesday, Starke County EMS shared that crews went through specialized training on difficult airway management.
The training session reminded attendees how to quickly recognize signs of a compromised airway, as well as advanced techniques on how to assist.
The training included proper usage of equipment and important coordinating and communication skills to use in high-pressure situations.
