This document discusses trauma in pregnancy and provides key information. It notes that trauma poses unique challenges due to the need to care for both the mother and unborn child. Physiological changes in pregnancy like increased risk of fainting and changes to vital signs can affect trauma assessment and treatment. Aggressive oxygen and fluid administration are critical to optimize outcomes for both. Proper positioning is also needed to prevent supine hypotension in pregnant patients. Motor vehicle collisions are a leading cause of trauma-related injuries or deaths among pregnant women.
Thoracic trauma is common, accounting for 50% of multiple trauma cases and 25% of trauma deaths. Potentially fatal thoracic injuries like tension pneumothorax, massive hemothorax, and cardiac tamponade require rapid recognition and intervention to save lives. The primary survey focuses on the "Deadly Dozen" immediate threats like airway obstruction, open pneumothorax, and flail chest, while the secondary survey evaluates less immediately life-threatening injuries like pulmonary contusion and myocardial contusion. Chest injuries frequently necessitate prompt treatment and often require urgent transport or "load-and-go" to definitive care.
The document discusses the structure and function of the nervous system. It describes the major divisions as the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS has three types of neurons that connect the CNS to the body and organs. It also describes the somatic and autonomic systems within the PNS. The autonomic system further divides into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems which work in opposition to activate the fight or flight response versus the rest and digest response. The CNS structures of the brain and spinal cord are also summarized, including the four lobes of the brain and principles of contralateral organization and lateralization of functions.
The document provides step-by-step instructions for creating realistic moulage makeup effects for emergency response training simulations. It details homemade recipes for simulated blood, bruises, burns, and other injuries using inexpensive and accessible materials. Pictures demonstrate techniques for applying different injury makeup like lacerations, impalements, and burns to achieve graphic but safe effects for training scenarios. The goal is to help emergency responders practice assessing and treating realistic-looking injuries in a controlled training environment.
The document discusses seizures, their classification, and treatment considerations for EMS. It describes how seizures are classified based on mental status (simple vs complex) and laterality (partial vs generalized). Generalized seizures involve both hemispheres and can cause loss of consciousness, while partial seizures originate in one hemisphere and may or may not affect consciousness. Status epilepticus is a medical emergency defined as continuous seizure activity. The document provides guidance for EMS on safely managing patients during and after seizure activity without forcing interventions.
This document provides information on various respiratory emergencies including their causes, signs and symptoms, and management strategies. Key points covered include:
- The respiratory system functions to oxygenate the blood and remove carbon dioxide through ventilation, diffusion, and perfusion. Failure of any part of this process can cause respiratory emergencies.
- Common respiratory emergencies discussed include upper airway obstruction, emphysema, asthma, pneumonia, toxic inhalation, and pulmonary embolism.
- Assessment involves evaluating the patient's airway, breathing, circulation, mental status and vital signs as well as taking a focused history. Signs and symptoms vary depending on the specific condition but may include dyspnea
This document provides information and guidelines for emergency medical responders (EMRs) on maintaining peripheral intravenous lines for stable patients during transport. It discusses the EMR's role in safely handling and transporting patients with existing IVs. It outlines personal safety concerns, required skills like adjusting drip rates and changing IV bags, and goals around keeping the IV patent and monitoring for complications. The document specifies considerations for IV transport, authorized and unauthorized IV solutions, complications, stabilization techniques, flow rate factors, drip rate calculations, troubleshooting problems, and required documentation.
This document provides information on poisonings and substance abuse for paramedics. It defines poisoning and substance abuse. It describes how to identify the patient and poison, determine the nature of the poison, and assess inhaled, absorbed, ingested and injected poisons. It discusses the initial assessment, airway/breathing/circulation, and transport decision for a poisoned patient. It also covers alcohol, opioids, sedatives, inhalants, stimulants, marijuana, hallucinogens and anticholinergics.
This document provides information on childbirth and obstetrical emergencies for emergency medical responders. It discusses the stages of normal labor and delivery, as well as complications that may arise like premature birth, breech birth, and prolapsed cord. Emergency procedures are outlined for handling various situations like breech delivery and umbilical cords wrapped around the baby's neck. Overall the document aims to equip EMRs with the essential knowledge needed to assist with emergency childbirth and recognize potential complications.
This document discusses the musculoskeletal system and emergencies. It covers the anatomy and functions of the musculoskeletal system including muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones. It describes different types of musculoskeletal injuries like sprains, strains, dislocations, fractures and provides treatment guidelines for splinting and immobilizing injured extremities. The document emphasizes the importance of assessing distal circulation and function before and after splinting and provides tips on proper splinting techniques and potential hazards of improper splinting.
The document discusses musculoskeletal injuries, including injuries to muscles, bones, and associated ligaments. It covers various types of musculoskeletal injuries, signs and symptoms, management of injuries, spinal injuries, head injuries, and splinting techniques. The goal for emergency responders is to manage musculoskeletal injuries, prevent further damage, minimize disability, and reduce pain.
This document provides an overview and training content for EF Johnson 53 SL ES and 51 SL ES series radios used by the Yukon Government. It covers system configuration, controls, display features, zone and site selection, registration, talkgroups, out of range indicators, and general operating policies and procedures. The training is delivered through a combination of presentation, demonstration, and hands-on exercises.
The document discusses the components and use of a metered dose inhaler (MDI) with spacer. An MDI contains salbutamol and propellant that are mixed by shaking. Using a spacer allows the medication particles to remain in the respirable 1-5 micron range to effectively deliver the dose to the lungs. Different types of spacers are available to use with MDIs.
This document discusses mass casualty incidents and the role of emergency medical responders. It describes what constitutes a mass casualty incident, the sectors that should be established at the scene including triage, treatment and transportation. It outlines the START triage plan involving assessing airways, breathing, circulation and mental status to assign patients priority levels of red, yellow, green or black to determine treatment. The emergency responder's role is to begin triaging patients and provide initial care until additional EMS support arrives.
Mass casualty incident program s.t.a.r.t.VASS Yukon
The document provides an overview of initial triage training for first responders responding to mass casualty incidents. It introduces the START and SMART triage methods, which sort patients into categories based on urgency of treatment needed. The goals are to increase responder readiness and introduce the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment method and SMART Triage system. Upon completion, responders will be able to triage patients using these methods and understand roles upon arriving at multiple-patient incidents.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. PURPOSE-Mission Statement
Rural EMS Crew Members must work with Medevac
crews to ensure that all aspects of Medevac flights are
safe and efficient. In order to function as a team, EMS
personnel must have an awareness of how to operate
safely on the airport tarmac and how to employ
Medevac lifting devices. In addition, EMS crew
members must understand what is expected of them
should an incident require them to operate around or
out of a helicopter. Annual familiarization with these
elements of flight operations are essential.
3. OUTLINE
- Definitions
- Medevac Operations
- Airframe Familiarization
- Use of Alternative Aircraft
- Standard Flight Operations
- Non Standard Operations
- Prohibited Operations
- Emergency Operations
- Conclusion
- Questions?
4. DEFINITIONS
MEDEVAC CREW – Medically trained staff assigned to
provide clinical care during a Medevac flight.
FLIGHT CREW – Employees of the air carrier who
operate/fly the aircraft.
AIRCREW – Any person employed professionally to
work on board an aircraft.
AIRCRAFT CAPTAIN (flies in the left seat) – The
senior pilot charged with safe operation of the aircraft.
FIRST OFFICER (flies in the right seat) – A junior pilot
who operates aircraft systems under command of the
AIRCRAFT CAPTAIN.
6. Ambulance Parking
The presence of vehicles on the airfield can present a
hazard to aircraft and flight crews. Whenever possible:
- Park outside the airfield gates until the aircraft and
propellers have stopped moving.
- Turn off strobes and flashing lights while airplanes are
landing or taxiing.
7. Ambulance Movements
Immediately before moving onto the airfield, turn on the
vehicle’s rotating lights or flashing hazard lights.
Drive slowly and directly to the aircraft. Remain alert for
other air traffic on the tarmac.
Avoid backing-up whenever possible. If you are forced to
back-up, employ a guide to prevent contact with any
aircraft or airfield structures.
8. Ambulance Repositioning
Backing up around an airplane is generally an unnecessary risk – usually
the ambulance can be positioned close enough without using reverse:
Approach from the side once
the propellers have stopped.
Park a safe distance from
the wing so that the doors do
not strike the airframe.
Once the patient has been
loaded/unloaded, turn away
from the wing and depart.
9. Patient Packaging
When preparing a patient for Medevac, they are generally placed on the
#9 Stretcher by the Medevac Crew at the Health Centre. If asked to
package the patient for Medevac, remember the following guidelines:
- Position the #9 on the ambulance cot.
- Top strap under the head of the #9 stretcher.
- Inflate the Therm-a-rest halfway.
- Place the Therm-a-rest on the # 9.
- Do not tape the Therm-a-rest or LifeBlanket.
- Place the LifeBlanket on the Therm-a-rest.
- Cover the LifeBlanket with a blue bed liner
or a light sheet.
- Position the patient and cover with blankets
as required.
- Attach all seat belts before transport.
10. Patient Load/Unload
The load/unload procedure is a cooperative crew
procedure that requires clear communication and
careful coordination:
- The pilots will move the patient to/from the door
inside the aircraft.
- The Medevac crewmembers will direct the lift of the
# 9 stretcher to/from the Lifeport Sled.
- Only one person should count to coordinate the lift.
- If you are unsure of the load/unload procedure, ask
the Medevac crew to explain the plan.
11. AIRFRAME FAMILIARIZATION
This orientation focuses on the dedicated Medevac
airplanes and commonly used alternative airframes.
The aircraft covered will include:
- The King Air 200/300,
- The King Air 350,
- The Twin Otter,
- The A-Star helicopter,
- The Bell 206 helicopter, and
- The Bell 205/212 helicopters.
12. The Alkan Fleet
Our current air carrier is Alkan Air. They have a fleet
that consists of nine distinct airframes. For the most
part Medevac operations are conducted on the King
Air 200/300 and 350 series aircraft.
17. ALTERNATIVE AIRFRAMES
When standard Medevac aircraft can not address the
specific needs of an unusual Medevac, the Emergency
Response Communications Officer and the Alkan
Dispatcher will coordinate the use of an alternative
airframe.
Whenever YEMS personnel are required load an
unfamiliar aircraft the Medevac crew or Aircraft
Captain must brief the loading procedure for that
airframe.
20. December 5, 2020
The A-Star helicopter has a left-mounted stretcher that
can be put in place by the pilot on request. Some of
these stretchers have padding and may be used to
elevate the head of the patient. They may also be used
to secure the Ferno # 9 Stretcher and/or a back board.

21. December 5, 2020
Bell 206
(Jet Ranger or Long Ranger)
The Jet Ranger and Long Ranger both have stretcher
mounts that can be attached to the seats on the left side of
the aircraft. Most 206 stretchers are unpadded and can not
elevate the head or be used to provide SMR. However, this
assembly can secure the # 9 Stretcher or a backboard.

HEMS%202.htm
22. Bell 205/212
The Bell 205 and 212 are much larger helicopters more
commonly employed locally during Wildland Fire Season.
The # 9 stretcher, backboard or rolling stock cot (i.e., the
Ferno 35P) can be secured to the floor in a number of
configurations allowing attendants to sit/operate on both
sides of the patient.

- Heli-Ops Considerations
- Internal Loading
- Cargo in the Tail Boom
- Moving Away
- If you can’t clear the rotor
arc...
25. Pre-Flight Briefings
Any personnel unfamiliar with operations on a particular aircraft should
request a pre-flight briefing from one of the pilots. The mandatory
elements of a pre-flight briefing are:
Seatbelt Operation – Take Off/Landing
Main Door – Open/Close
Emergency Exit Operation
Emergency Egress Procedure
Fire Extinguisher Location (2)
Emergency Locator Transmitter Location
Cabin Security Requirements
Location of Survival Equipment
26. Seatbelts
Seatbelts must be worn:
Whenever the aircraft is moving on the ramp, taxiway or
runway.
Whenever the aircraft is taking off or landing.
During periods of turbulence.
Whenever ordered by the AIRCRAFT CAPTAIN.
27. Cabin Security
In the event of sudden turbulence or a hard landing,
items that have not been secured will become missiles.
The forces associated with such events will increase
the kinetic potential of these items many times,
causing damage and trauma to everything in the cabin.
All items must be secured for flight using the nets and
belts supplied.
28. Loading Cargo
Generally cargo will be loaded before the patient.
Equipment must be loaded in the cabin or tail
compartments under the pilot’s direction.
Ensure that weight is evenly distributed laterally and fore /
aft.
If there is a mixed load of cargo and passengers, the cargo
must be loaded so all exits are accessible to passengers.
29. Upon Landing
Never undo your seat belt or attempt to exit any aircraft
until the landing gear is on the ground, all motion has
stopped, and the pilot has indicated his/her approval.
Obtain a signal or verbal instruction from the pilot before
opening doors or exiting the aircraft.
If it is not possible for the pilot to shut the
propellers/rotors down discuss the procedure for leaving
the aircraft while the propellers/rotors are still turning.
30. Patient Load / Unload
1. Load/Secure all equipment and personal effects.
2. Pilots will ready the sled and ramp system.
3. Medevac attendants will position the stretcher carrying the
patient at the base of the steps.
4. When the lift team is ready, the Medevac team will coordinate
the lift.
5. The patient will be moved onto the ramp and secured.
6. The flight crew will slide the patient into position and will secure
the Lifeport Sled.
7. The flight crew will fold/secure the ramp and replace the door
cables. The First Officer will secure the door for flight.
31. The cabin of a helicopter is both cramped
and noisy – a difficult place to provide
patient care.
Noise, unregulated air temperature, altitude
and vibration will adversely affect patient
condition unless the attendant anticipates
and prepares for this environment.
Helicopter Operations
32. 1 vs 2 attendants?
Positioning of equipment.
Initiation of intravenous access?
Extra batteries, oxygen and blankets.
Positioning of patient to optimize access.
Need for airway protection and ventilation?
Heli-Ops Considerations
33. Internal Loading
Flammable or dangerous goods (Oxygen and some
medications such as Entonox) should be stored outside the
crew cabin when not in use.
Heavy items such as defibrillators should be carried as
close to the center of the cabin as possible.
Ensure cabin cargo is secured to prevent shifting during
flight.
Never obstruct flight controls.
34. Cargo in the Tail Boom
Secure light or potentially hazardous items in the tail boom
as directed by the pilot.
Unload the tail boom before the forward compartments to
ensure Centre of Gravity is maintained.
If unloading items while the rotors are turning, maintain
control of doors and any light articles that may be drawn
into the rotors.
35. Moving away from a helicopter
If you must leave the helicopter while the rotors are still
moving:
Gather equipment and walk clear of the rotor arc in clear
view of the pilot. Crouch down in a group until the aircraft
has flown away.
Remember to make a plan for ongoing
communication and pick-up BEFORE the pilot
flies away.
36. If you can’t leave the rotor arc:
If it is unsafe for you to move outside the rotor arc, crouch
in view of the pilot to the front of the aircraft until the
helicopter has lifted off and flown away.
NEVER walk upslope away from a
helicopter whose rotors are still turning.
37. NON STANDARD OPERATIONS
Extreme Cold Weather Operations
Bariatric Medevacs
Remote Site Medevacs
38. Cold Weather Operations
When temperatures drop below -30 degrees Celsius, it may
not be possible for the pilots to shut the aircraft down at a
remote location. In these instances only the left side engine
will be shut down to allow boarding and deplaning.
In such circumstances, the
AIRCRAFT CAPTAIN or a member
of the Medevac crew will clearly
instruct the EMS Crew Members
on the procedures to be followed.
39. Cold Weather Operations
In extreme cases, the aircraft will have to remain flying
while the MEDEVAC CREW is at the health centre –
use of airport transfers during cold weather operation
is encouraged if patient condition permits.
40. Bariatric Medevacs
The standard flight equipment used by YEMS can be
used to transport patients safely only if they weigh less
than 350 lbs./160 kg.
If a patient who exceeds this safe operating weight
must be transported, alternative aircraft and
equipment will have to be employed.
Typically, it will take additional time to organize and
carry out a Bariatric Medevac.
41. Remote Site Medevacs
In the event that YEMS is asked to retrieve a patient from a
remote site, it is likely that an alternative aircraft will be
brought into service.
Remember, YEMS is NOT a rescue service. Ensure that you
work safely and within the scope of your training.
The Emergency Response Communications Officer
(ERCO)may assist with any Remote Site Medevac Request:
Contact them at 1 867 667 3333
43. Hover Entrance and Hover Exit are the practices of
entering or leaving a helicopter while the skids are not
touching the ground.
Hover Entrance / Exit
44. Hover Entrance/Exit
are specialty operations requiring specific training
and safety procedures.
There is no operational requirement for YEMS
personnel to ever be involved in hover
entrance/exit operations.
45. Refueling
Refueling will be carried out by the pilots or flight
engineers. YEMS staff will NOT refuel aircraft..
Hot fueling is at the discretion of the pilot. YEMS staff and
patients WILL NOT be on board during refueling.
NO SMOKING
AT OR NEAR
FUELING SITES
47. Ditching
In the event that the aircraft must make a landing on
unprepared terrain, the AIRCRAFT CAPTAIN will instruct
AIRCREW and passengers that they must prepare for
ditching:
- All items in the cabin must be secured.
- The patient backrest must be lowered to the bottom
setting.
- Shoulder straps (if available) engaged.
Once the cabin is secure, AIRCREW will advise the
FLIGHT CREW that the cabin has been prepared before
attaching their seatbelts and assuming the crash position.
49. Emergency Egress
Following a hard landing or ditching, wait until all motion has
stopped before releasing seatbelts and moving about the cabin.
Make contact with the flight crew immediately and follow their
instructions. If flight crew are not able to assist with the egress,
the priorities will be to:
- Activate the appropriate exit.
- Suppress active flame using the fire extinguisher.
-Facilitate the extrication of all injured or ill.
- Facilitate the egress of all crew.
- Retrieve the survival equipment if safe to do so.
- Move to a safe location and adopt survival tasks.
52. In-Flight Code
Having a patient lose vital signs en route significantly
changes the nature of a Medevac. The FLIGHT CREW
must be kept in the picture as the situation evolves.
Whenever possible, the Flight Crew should be advised:
- Before delivering defibrillation;
- When requiring diversion to an alternative destination;
- If an additional set of hands is required for CPR.
53. CONCLUSION
The key to conducting smooth, efficient flight
operations is communication and cooperation
between all FLIGHT CREW, MEDEVAC and EMS
CREW members.
If ever you are unsure of what is expected of you, ask
the Aircraft Captain or a Medevac crew member to
explain.
