Good vehicle extrication demands a unique collaboration between rescue and emergency medical personnel. Incorporating key victim assessment information in the extrication size-up improves your strategic and tactical plans. To save a patient (not just chop up a vehicle), rescue and EMS must understand each other’s jobs and work together effectively. This program incorporates EMS care considerations in the extrication strategy and shows how first responders can manage a most critical trauma encountered in vehicle collisions quickly and effectively. You will make better strategic extrication decisions and deliver immediate life-saving treatment more safely, reducing the time from patient contact to patient removal to patient surgery.
