Agenda 09/27/2011 Item #16F 3 9127/20111temt6.F.3. E~tUTIVE S~y r"\ Reeommeodation that the Beard of C.uty Commissioners provides after-the-fact appre.vtI.fortlle attaehed Assistanee to Firelcltten Grant application tltat was submitted to the FecIe....laaerpncy Mana'ement Agency for the. purdaaae of two Carbon Monoxide Detectors for Eme..... Medical Services in the amount of $9,8fMl. 9J,UJ'.t;'I'1VE: To receive after-the-fact approval from the Board of County Commissioners to submit an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to fund the pW'Chase two Carbon Monoxide Detectors for Emergency Medical Services. CONSIDERATIONS: On August 30, 2011, the County Manager approved theeloctronic subnUttal'otan AFG grant application, in accordance with Collier County CMA #5330 which authorizes the CountY-Manager to . approve the submittal of grant applications with subsequent BCC action at the next available Board meeting.to ratify the. approval as "after-the-fact." The Assistance to Firefighters Grant program typically provides only a month for development and submittal of gran.tappli~ons. This year, the program was announced on August 15th with a deadline of September 9th. This deadline was subsequently extended to September 16th. There was no Board Meeting held during the month of August. This grant was submitted by EMS to request funding to pW'Cbase two Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors, to be strategically placed in the nol1b. and south areas of the County. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is rising at an ~ing rate. Currently C()llier County EMS does not have the equipment to detect CO poisoning. The pulse oximeterS currently in use are unable to differentiate between oxygen molecules and carbon molecules. When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it passes from the lungs into thebemoglobin molecules of red blood cells. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin at the same site as and preferentially to oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin. Carboxyhemoglobin interferes with the oxygen transport and gas exchange abilities of red blood cells. The r~ult is that the body becomes oxygen-starved, which can result in tissue damage and death. The ability to quickly and positively identify CO poisoning will provide far better patient outcomes. The total amount of funds requested for this project is $9,800, and comprised of $7,840 to be funded by the grant and a match of $1,960 (2()o,4) to be funded by the County from the State of Florida Bureau of Emergency Medical Services County Grant. If awarded, staff will come back to the Board to request approval to accept the grant. FI~AJ;..IMPAC;:T:There is no Fiscal Impactat this time. LEGAL CON~ERAtI~S: The Board will have the opportunity to accept or reject the funds if the grant is approved. Accordingly, this Office has no issue with respect to the legal sufficiency of this request, which is appropriate for Board action. This is areguIar item requiring a majority vote. - JBW GROW'J'H JMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact resulting from,~s~n.

According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 400 Americans die each yeal' from unintentional Cat'bon Monoxide (CO) poisoning, and more than 20,000 visit the emergency room. Our neighboring County of West Palm Beach reports that Carbon Monoxide poisoning is I'ising at an alal'lning rate; prompting the Palm Beach County Health Department to issue a preventive wRming. By mid 2010 Palm Beach County was expel'iencing the higl1est number-of cases ever reported in previous years. Carbon Monoxide poisoning, the leading cause of accidental poisoning 'in America is no stranger to Florida. FOl'many years CO poisoning was thought to be an exclusive side effect of structure fires, fumaces, and val'ious heaters. Whether the patient was a victim who had lost theh' residence to a fire, a firefighter exposed to the hal'mflll gas as he/she fought the fire; or someone just simply attempting to make it through the bitter winter) CO poisoning was believed to an ((up north)! issue, In recent yesrs the inacouracy of this myth has been exposed and much needed awareness is being raised. ,,-..... Healthc81'e organizations throughout the State of Florida are wOI'king diligently to educate the public about the many different sources of CO poisoning, and how to prevent the increasing frequency of those incidents. Although Florida does not experience the cold wintel's characteristic of the northern states, and strllcture fit'es do net happen every day; we in the Sunshine State are as vulnel'able as anyone. Mother Nature capriciously has chosen Florida as the primary highway for her path dlll'ing hurricane season. Anothel' unsuspected source of accidental CO poisoning are the very convenient keyless ignition starters) which are the center of controvel'sial lawsuits due to unintentional activation of the ignition while the vehicle is parked indoors, Following is fut'thel' suppOt1ing data on the incl'easing incidence of accidental CO poisoning in the State of Florida. In January 2011,5 people died ill a Hialeah, Florida hotel room from carbon monoxide poisoning due to a vehicle left rUlUling under their hotel window. In June 2008, a 19-year-old Collier County resident died in his home from accidental CO poisoning, His 1'00mmate was found semiconscious in the house, Florida experienced 4 major hun'icanes i112004, at least 167 people were treated for accidental CO poisoning, with 6 fatalities that year. Portable genel'ators were reported in 96% ofllon~fatal poisonings, and 100% responsible for fatal poisonings, Among those reporting the location of the generator, 34% repol.ted having placed the genel'atol' outdoors vs, ) 7% inside the garage, Even placed outside, the fumes were still able to enter the dwelling and kill, ,-......" Packet Page -2060- 9/27/2011 Item 16.F.3. ~ Cost Benefit: Currently Collier County EMS does not have the equipment to detect CO poisoning. The pulse oximeters al'e unable to differentiate between oxygen molecules and carbon molecules. When carbon monoxide is inhaled. it passes fi'om the lungs into the hemoglobin molecules of red blood cells. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin at the same site as and preferentially to oxygen. torming carbox.yhemoglobin. CSl'boxyhemoglobin intel'fel'es with the oxygen tl'ansport and gas exchange abUities of red blood cells. The result is tbat the body becomes oxygen-starved. which can result in tissue damage and death. The ability to quickly and positively identify CO poisoning will provide far bettel' patient outcomes than what we are currently able to do, However, Collier EMS is unable" to fund this project and has been unable to secure alternative funding. Because our response area is so lal'ge (over 2000 square miles), we feel that it would be most cost efficient to deploy one unit at the north side of the county and another in the south. It is 110t reasonable 01' cost efficient to place a detector on each (1'8nsp011: unit. The Battalion Chieffo!' eaoh sector is equipped with an "all hazat'ds>l kit, which would include the CO detector unit. HMO protocols would be changed to pl'Ovide that once a possible CO poisoning has occUl1'ed, the appropriate Be w01.lld be notified to initiate their response, bringing the CO detectol' to the scene. The detector would be sent with the ground unit for continuous monitoring dul'ing transport. Statement of Effect: If awarded this grant through the assistance ofthe U, S. Department of Homeland Security, Collier County EMS will be able to assure that our citizens and visitors as well as our firefighters have the benefit of early and effective carbon monoxide poisoning detection. As mentioned earlier, hurricane season, which runs from J1.me through the end ofSeptember,leave..<J OUl' County's citizens vulnerable to the risks of CO poisoning, Atlothet. dangerous period for the County's firefighters is the brush fire season, which picks up during Mal'ch and lasts until the Stimmel' rains occur with enough consistency to sufficiently soak the areas where these fires break out. Our crews are responsible fot' rehabbing these firefighters, so they would also benefit b~1 having early CO detection. All field personnel and supervisory staff will be trained in the operation of these units. Additional Information: As indicated previously. our County is experiencing critical budget reductions, Our capital budget to purchase wom out medical equipment has been completely eliminated fOI' FY 2012 and the opel'ating budget has been cut for four consecutive years, NQ pay raises have been given. In fact, several years ago the union members voted to not take a scheduled COLA adjustment tllat was contractually obligated in an effort to avoid layoffs which would have oceul'red due to the budget constraints, Packet Page -2061- 9/27/2011 Item 16.F.3. ~ The purchase of these CO detectors would be used in conjunction with protocols and sel've as diagnostic tools in the treatment of CO poisoning. The units can be upgl'aded~ allowing for monitoring Hemoglobin (SpHB)) blood constituents and fluid l'esponsiveness (pvi) and Methemoglobin (SpMet) levels. The following are additional sources of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning: Gas water heaters Kerosene space heaters Propane heaters and stoves Charcoal gl'iIls Gasoline and diesel powered generators Cigarette smoke Propane-fueled fOl'klifts Gasoline powered concrete saws Indoor tractor pulls Any boat with an engine Spray paint, solvents, degl'easel's) and paint removers Vehicle fumes (accidental ignition) ,-......" ,-......"
