The 
LUCAS 2mechanical CPR device arrived in Takla Landing (a remote nursing station in North Central BC) to aid with resuscitation efforts. The Health Center is manned by either one or two nurses with remote certified practice skills. Due to the lack of experienced hands to aid the nurses and the extreme remoteness of the community, it was felt the LUCAS could really assist in these intensely stressful situations. To further compliment resuscitation efforts, Takla Landing uses a state-of-the-art videoconferencing system from CISCO. This mobile, Wi-Fi enabled unit has 3 different cameras to allow a physician to closely collaborate at the bedside – virtually. Dr. John Pawlovich the Rural Education Action Plan Program Coordinator was instrumental in setting up the telehealth support. The system is an excellent example of how technology can improve care in remote settings. The early feedback from nurses has been overwhelmingly positive!
