Vehicle Rescue Skills (Site Handling) Body Landing - Stability and Initial Evaluation

News Related Keywords: No tags.

Early stability and not entering the vehicle not only allow the medical staff to carry out initial investigation and carry out life-saving treatment measures (such as keeping the airway open), but also determine the degree of injury of the injured. This is very important because if there is no such information, the field commander will not be able to formulate a rescue plan.

For the stability of the vehicle on which the vehicle lands, we should focus on three stages:

1 manual stability

This means that the rescuer manually reduces the movement of the vehicle. It is only necessary to take this action into account when it is necessary to quickly enter the vehicle to perform life-saving treatment (such as opening the respiratory tract of the injured person). The vehicle body ground vehicle, which can "support" in each corner of the vehicle 2 to prevent unnecessary movement of the vehicle.

Use of blocks and wedges

For vehicles with bodywork on the ground, blocks and wedges must be placed below the A- pillar, B- pillar and C- pillars (on the lower side of the vehicle) and in other areas, for example, along the bottom of the vehicle on the bottom of the window. Use wedges.

3 Use of auxiliary equipment

When the vehicle body lands, it is necessary to use auxiliary equipment such as a vehicle support rod to stabilize the vehicle. These tools increase the vehicle's footprint and therefore increase the stability of the vehicle.

! Remember - when it is not possible to use the tool (that is to say when the vehicle is on a slope) to fully stabilize the vehicle, it may be necessary to use other tools such as a winch or a stretch belt.

Check the stability again

1 When removing weight from a vehicle (removing glass or doors)

2 Increased vehicle weight (persons or equipment entering the vehicle)

3 Stability will be more critical when the accident involves a large vehicle that may carry loads. Consider specifying someone to monitor the stability of the vehicle during the entire rescue period (if resources permit).

Remember that stability provides a solid platform for initial entry into the vehicle. The level of stability of the initial deployment of the vehicle depends entirely on the condition of the injured; this is also a factor that must be considered.

Our priority for the injured is to reduce the movement of vehicles to reduce trauma to the injured spine and pelvis.

! Remember - if the injured do not respond, priorities must be changed. Respiratory tracts that are completely unresponsive may be dangerous. Therefore, we must ensure that we quickly enter the vehicle to reach the injured while providing a certain degree of stability.

Place blocks and wedges under the A- pillar, B- pillar, and C- pillar on the lower side of the vehicle

- Ensure that the blocks and wedges are placed on the column instead of the glass (step wedge wood mats can also be used)

Lumps and Wedges / Step Wedge Wood Mats

Place 2 vehicle support rods at the bottom of the vehicle

- Tighten together while placing the support rod to prevent possible movement of the vehicle

At least two rescuers "support" the vehicle by controlling the rear and front of the vehicle

- To limit the movement of the vehicle as much as possible when supporting the vehicle

no

A rescuer enters the vehicle to assess the condition of the injured and perform the necessary treatment

- Once you have stabilized the injured, you can enter the stage of fully stable vehicle described in detail above.
