Last week the 212th responded to a hunter who fell 100 feet down a slope and experienced significant skeletal trauma.
Dan reviews the technical and sometimes heinous rescue in unforgiving terrain during a windy, freezing rainstorm.
Pearls-
1. To help dial in a diagnosis of sTBI- can the patient follow commands?
2- Med care in the elements focuses on hypothermia management and pain control to get into a place you can treat vs. thickets where it is impossible.
212th RQS!!! THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE
