Advanced Vehicle Extrication Part 1 |
This advanced course is
designed to give the student scenario based training with more difficult
extrication challenges. Each learning station involves the actual
entrapment of a simulated patient. Removal on a backboard is required
for successful completion. To maximize the experience, all equipment the
fire company has pertinent to auto extrication is utilized. Teamwork and
incident command are emphasized in order to improve the process of
extrication in the real world. |

Advanced Vehicle Extrication Part 2 |
"Putting it altogether"
Taking the Advanced Rescue Part I to the next level, this program
combines realistic practical evolutions and Rescue Scene Management. A
short classroom session reviews Rescue Scene Management and Incident
Command at a rescue scene. The practical session follows where teams are
placed in scenarios utilizing dispatch and radio communications and face
multiple vehicle/multiple patient crash incidents. The students are
tested on their management skills as well as their rescue techniques.
Integrating and working with EMS is an essential part of the program. By
testing management, EMS and rescue all at the same time, the class
creates a real-life learning environment, many times taxing the limits
of the teams. Pre-requisites: Advanced Vehicle Part I. |

| Rescue Extrication Operations for Bus
Accidents |
This program is
designed to familiarize the participant with the complexities of rescue
operations involving extrications from buses. The course will review the
various types of buses, their construction features and differences.
Participants will be introduced to the methods for stabilization,
access, hazard recognition and control, triage,
victim disentanglement and preparation for patient care, packaging and
removal. The program will be
presented in a didactic and practical skills format to maximize
the participants ability to perform efficiently and effectively
when confronted with these type of rescue operations. Several
learning stations will be utilized
on the
same bus to provide the participants with as realistic scenarios as
possible. |

Vehicle Anatomy
Training Series
Three Parts
|
The material in these
lessons is designed to familiarize the student with the recent
developments in the automobile industry related to occupant restraint
systems and vehicle construction. Many different extrication techniques
are emerging and changing, as rescuers become more aware of the recent
and dramatic improvements in vehicle design related to the safety of the
occupants. These programs will provide factual information that will
educate the student regarding the location, identification and managing
of these new components and safety systems.
The program is presented with Microsoft PowerPoint using a quantity of
images, photographs, video’s, graphics and charts. Some of the vehicle
components acquired by ESI are brought to the classroom for hands on
familiarization. Several useful handouts are included for each student
and ESI certificates will be issued for students who complete the
programs. |

Part
II
focuses on modern vehicle construction and how auto manufacturers have
hardened their vehicles to maintain a survival space for the
occupants during a crash. It begins with a closer look at the harder
materials used to create the hidden roll-cages and even harder material
used to stiffen the high impact areas of the vehicle. It continues with
different styles of frame construction and finishes with various ideas
and useful extrication techniques to help the rescuer increase their
success and put valuable time back into the Golden Hour. |
