so the first thing we do if there is a medical emergecy, is to call it in or get someone too as it would take a plane and hour to get off the ground plus two hours to get here.
they will take a helicopter if really emergency but its two hours as well plus they would have to stop at the fuelling station. and depends on thge pilot weather or not yopu wopuld have to get out of the helicopter.
either way it would suck because not onlywould you have to wait to get the patient , we would have to go with them untill we reached the hospital or ambulance i guerss at the yellowknife airport.
this was the main discussion at the mock medi vac this morning.
we also practiced some one having a heart attck symtoms. i had to lead the team this morning.
first we check abc and vital signs, he had hi heart beat and shallow breating also 10/10 sharp pain , center of the chest. (this is never good lol) so we called in the medi vac procedure, strapped him to the a.e.d machine , gave him some oxygen and strapped him on the board to be putt in the helicopter.
that was pretty much it. easy one really, except if it was real. that would really sucked.
