Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust

The Air Rescue Trust upgraded some key equipment last year thanks to support from community groups and organisations, including ANZCO Foods.

They bought new water rescue gear and night vision goggles, meaning they can run missions more effectively in a wider range of conditions.

They also have a new capnography kit which provides carbon dioxide monitoring – essential for patients under anaesthesia – and a Zoll monitor which automatically relays vital information to the receiving hospital.

Their helicopters are also now fitted with anti-spin devices for patients being winched onboard, and a leg extension device helping crew stabilise and support injuries during winch operations.

ANZCO Foods is proud to support the Air Rescue Trust team to continue their life-saving missions.
