Field medical site selection during disastersbanditnroxy
This document outlines the basic principles of selecting field medical sites during disasters. Key criteria for site selection include safety, security, adequate size, appropriate location, terrain features, and accessibility. The site selection process involves identifying the mission requirements based on the nature of the event and scope of operations, then evaluating potential sites based on these criteria. Priority should be given to locations that are safe from natural and man-made hazards, can be adequately secured, and are in close proximity to patient densities and transportation routes.
The document summarizes the 2009 "Miracle on the Hudson" incident where US Airways Flight 1549 was forced to land in the Hudson River after experiencing a bird strike that disabled both engines. It discusses how the pilot Sullenberg's decision to land in the river rather than attempt to return to an airport was aided by the airline's culture of collective mindfulness and safety practices like crew resource management training. This culture emphasized preoccupation with failure, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience, and deference to expertise, which helped the pilot and crew successfully evacuate all 150 passengers without any loss of life. The document attributes the major improvements in aviation safety over decades to such safety culture practices rather than any "miracles".

It then outlines key developments from the 15th century onward, including improved surgical techniques, the development of anesthesia in the 19th century allowing wider resections, and William Halsted's radical mastectomy procedure in the 1890s. The document also summarizes advances in the 20th century with the understanding of hormones' role in breast cancer and the development of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies.
Field medical site selection during disastersbanditnroxy
Basic principles for selecting field medical sites during disasters include safety, security, size, and location. Key criteria are avoiding natural and man-made hazards, ensuring the site can be protected, having adequate space for needs, suitable terrain, accessibility for patients and vehicles, and being close to populations. An example site selection in Haiti demonstrated these principles, while a potential alternative highlighted issues like proximity to unsafe areas. Proper site selection following basic rules is critical for efficient and safe mission accomplishment.
Flight attendants are responsible for ensuring passenger safety and comfort aboard commercial flights. Their primary duty is safety, but they also serve food and drinks. The role originated from similar roles on ships and trains. The first flight attendant was hired in 1930. Most early flight attendants were nurses and were only hired if they were young, single women. Their responsibilities include conducting safety demonstrations, securing the cabin during takeoff and landing, responding to medical emergencies, and assisting with evacuations. The chief purser or cabin service manager is the highest ranking flight attendant on each flight.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

4. Para-medicines roots grow from military actions
Paintings of Ancient Roman battle fields suggest some
warriors cared for wounded soldiers
Modern warfare produced the military battlefield ambulance
corps medic.
These physician extenders provided advanced first aide to
wounded soldiers until transported to a field hospital
5. 1966 The White paper “Accidental Death and Disability: The
Neglected Disease of Modern Society”
› U.S. researchers concluded that servicemen wounded in battle had
better rates of survival than motorists injured on California freeways
› This inspired the first experiments with use of civilian Paramedics in the
U.S.
1973 Congressional Emergency Medical Services Systems Act
allowing for access to federal funding
1975 AMA accepts and approves the EMT-Paramedic role as
an emergency health profession
› The DOT is responsible for establishing the training requirements of
Paramedics and EMT’s
6. Two main types of EMS services were created
› Hospital based programs with some medical training
provided by the sponsoring hospital
› Funeral homes with volunteers who had little or no training
in first aide or medical care, providing transport with use of
the hearse
8. Hammocks were readily available and used for centuries.
In Roman and Greek times chariots served as ambulances
In 1100 A.D. the Normans arrived in England with the
innovative horse litter
Modern Day
Hammock
Ambulance
9.
10.
11. The first motorized ambulance appeared in 1899.
The ambulance had a top speed of sixteen miles an hour.
Ambulances had two horsepower electrical engines with
capability of traveling as far as twenty to thirty miles.
12.
13.
14. Rapid advancements took place in the late 1950s to 1960s
allowing for basic patient care by an attendant while being
transported to a hospital
Physicians came to realize that treatment at the scene
could make a difference between life and death.
15.
16. The modern day ambulance comes in many shapes and sizes
Convalescent to Critical & Specialty Care
18. The first known Air Medical Transport vehicle was invented by
Chief of Dutch Medical Services, deMooy
› deMooy realized surface transport was a major cause of death to injured
combatants. He devised a stretcher suspended from a hot air balloon
drawn by horses
The hot air balloon air medical transport was used during the
siege of Paris in 1870
› 160 wounded French soldiers were successfully transported
19. Shortly after the Wright brothers successfully flew their first
airplane, two US Army medical officers designed an airplane
to transport patients.
The worlds first modern air ambulance was flown at Fort
Barrancas, Florida, in 1910.
› Unfortunately, on its first test flight, it flew only 500 yards at an altitude of
100 feet before crashing.
20. The first fixed wing air ambulance used by military was during
World War I in 1915
› A wounded French soldier was evacuated from Serbia by airplane.
1918 the U.S. Army modified a Curtiss JN-4D to carry patients
on a liter strapped to the rear cockpit.
› The rear cockpit was modified to accommodate a standard Army
stretcher carrying an injured person in a semi-reclined seat
21.
22. The first civilian air medical transport was completed in 1928
when a DeHaviland Fox Moth aircraft in the service of
Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service took off on its first
mission.
DeHaviland Fox
Moth circa 1940
23. War soon demonstrated the necessity of air evacuation.
The Burma Hump airlift operation saw what was probably the
first use of helicopters for combat rescue
› Airplane downed 100 miles behind enemy lines, remote and inaccessible
area
24. The first dedicated use of helicopters for air medical transport
was by the U.S. Government during the Korean war 1950 -
1953
Bell Helicopter in
Korea circa 1950
Patients carried
outside aircraft,
no medical care
in transit
25. Transition to patient
carried inside aircraft
with field medics or
nurses providing patient
care
The Huey Helicopter served as the blue print for
BK 117 Civilian Aircraft
27. Roy Morgan, Air Methods'
founder, was the pilot who
flew the first St. Mary's air
medical team Flight for Life,
of Denver Co. established
1972
Flight For Life began with a
single Alouette III helicopter
31. World War II
At the beginning of World War II, the common belief was air
evacuation of sick and wounded was dangerous, medically
unsound, and militarily impossible.
The Army Medical Department did not believe the airplane
was a substitute for field ambulances, even when it was
necessary to evacuate casualties over long distances

34. After a spike in air ambulance crashes in the United States,
the U. S. Government implemented more stringent
regulations for operation of air medical services.
The Commission on Air Medical Transportation Systems
(CAMTS) continues to review and implement standards
focused on patient and flight safety.
CAMTS Accreditation is generally voluntary although some
states require accreditation
35. No one holds more regard for safety of transport than the
transport crew
› Transport is an unstable environment many precautions are taken to
ensure safety
Crew members are experts in the realm of patient transport.
Decision on of mode of transport considers many factors
beyond physician request
› Crew configuration
› Crew capabilities
› Access to specialized equipment or treatments in transit
› Time to complete transport
› Time for patient out of hospital
› Distance, terrain, physical environment
› Appropriate utilization of resources
36. Aircraft
› TAWS
› Weather Radar
› Wire Cutters
› Auto Pilot
› NVG
› Satellite Tracking
Crew
› Helmets
› Nomex flight suits
› Radio communication between all crew and Flight Comms
› Regular aircraft safety briefs
› Regular Pilot check rides and simulator training
Procedures
› Fire guard
› Tail guard for hot load
› Q 10 minute position checks
› Weather check prior to mission acceptance regardless of weather
conditions
40. Surgical emergency
› General
› Orthopedic
Neurologic emergency
› Head bleed
› Increased ICP
Medical Emergency
› Respiratory failure
› Sepsis
A need for specialized
equipment, medications,
or treatments
› IABP
› ECMO
› Oscillator Vent
› Nitric
› Surfactent
› Blood
41. Not all patients flown are critical or time sensitive
› Distance, a need to move (Thru put), or available resources contribute to
choosing air vs. ground transport
› Remote, sparsely populated areas which may be inaccessible by road
for months at a time benefit from air ambulance transport
Fixed-wing vs. Ground
› Cost difference
Rotor-wing vs. Fixed-wing
› Cost difference
42. Crew skills set considerably greater than street medics or
nurses with hospital ICU background
› Allows ability to exercise more latitude in medical decision-making
Skills may include advanced treatment typically performed
by physicians
› EKG or x-ray interpretation leading to treatment plan determined by
crew
Some systems operate almost entirely off-line, using protocols
› On line medical control accessed when protocols have been exhausted
43. How do we interact with other healthcare entities
44. It’s a pre hospital ambulance –
› Scene call activation is as second responder, must be requested by
another entity
› In North Carolina 911 centers will contact the service directly
Some areas have centralized dispatch
It’s an inter-facility ambulance –
› Physician or designee contacts service for request to transport
› Primary transport is from lower level of care to higher level of care
› Back transport is from higher level of care to lower level of care, or a
lateral transfer
Difference is applicable only for billing
Carolina Air Care implemented Transport Coordinator function to interact with
UNC’s Transfer Center
45. Scene calls – goal is to dispatch closest available aircraft
› How do we know which aircraft is closest and in service while minimizing
time to procure resource
› Destination is to closest appropriate facility
Inter Facility – tends to be associated with hospital
relationships, hospital systems, or perceived closest aircraft
What if there is no aircraft available
› Program relationships
› Search alternate resources
How does weather affect resource utilization
› Front side or back side of weather?
46. Co-Opetition vs. Competition
› Air Medical Transport is becoming competitive
› Over built in some regions
› Collaborative relationships are essential
North Carolina Air Medical Association
› Established 1986 by existing Hospital based flight programs in NC
› NCAA sets an example in how other regions could operate
› Mutual Aid agreement between agencies to cover transports unable to
be completed by requesting program
47.
48. Medical Transport has multiple levels of care available
Patient billing based upon level of care provided
› Emergency or Non –Emergency indicates ambulance was dispatched as
soon as it was available or mission was pre-scheduled
› BLS – Basic Life Support – minimal treatment required
› ALS – Advanced Life Support – Advanced medical treatment required by
one provider
› ALS 2 (a.k.a. Critical Care) – Advanced Life Support – Significant
advanced medical treatment required by more than one medical
provider, ALS procedures performed
› SCT – Specialized care or team – Specific team configuration required or
utilization of highly specialized equipment
Nitric
IABP
ECMO – Physician at bedside to perform procedure
