Accessing and Extricating the Patient



Below are three links to videos that demonstrate ways to access the patient and removal the patient from the vehicle.  Watch the videos and discuss with your crew additional way to streamline the extrication process.

Discussion should include ways to create room to access the patient and further ways to remove a patient from the vehicle while protecting C-Spine.  Be sure to include inverted vehicle in the discussion.

Remember, this methods are just tools for your tool box and may need to be modified to adapt to your actual scene.
