176. TLLs- extrication and critical care

Last week we did a four hour exercise:  infil to vehicle, extrication problem, stablize 2 patients on the X. Prep for movement to hardened structure. Move. Perform MARCH PAWS/ MTPs, transition to PFC mindset, telecons, prep for exfil, ground vehicle transport to MTF.

Issues discussed:

-delaying Needle D based on O2 sat and threat

-NPA reminders

-Importance of reassessments before AND after each movement

-Documentation issues

-NEVER leave your patient unless TL directs you to

-RSI comments

– Dry fire MTPs to practice!

-2 IVs for all critical patients

and more!
