A plan or plans should form and flow. Metal or material should be moved or removed and the patient should be packaged and removed. We all understand that extrication and disentanglement is an integrated part of the bigger picture which we all call patient care. Our goal should focus towards the spreading of this word. Good question Carl.
Hazard control is a given in any situation and recognition of the hazard is an obvious.
I for one would like to see more done in the way of proper patient care and packaging. Even just ABC's and packaging-just do it properly and corrently and evaluated as such. We use a layered approach to PPE for vehicle rescue. In the colder months-we usually just use the structural gear however when it becomes warmer the jumpsuit is worn with NFPA leather boots and the structural jacket as an added layer of protection if needed. Well that is a very interesting subject to me, P.P.E. that is.
