BROWNSVILLE – Emergency responders in Cameron County obtained the latest technology to help improve patients’ chances of survival.

The South Texas Emergency Care Foundation is placing 26 high-tech defibrillators inside their ambulances.

The defibrillators will serve patients from the Hidalgo County line to Brownsville city limits.

The devices, equipped with WI-FI and Bluetooth technology, will allow first responders to transmit real-time information about a patient to doctors in the emergency room.
