ext3 The extrication of human beings from the vehicles they drive can pose some of the biggest challenges a firefighter can encounter in his/her career. The need for well trained rescuers knows no boundaries with such incidents occurring from the largest cities to the smallest towns. The way you and your crew perform can determine whether someone lives or whether someone dies. You must be prepared to be able to make quick, thoughtful decisions that will allow you to mediate any extrication incident with skill and speed. This training module addresses Vehicle extrication using both the VIDEO and the Powerpoint Presentations to address the following systematic process. using following eleven steps:
1. PREPARATION- Preparation refers to both the good working order of equipment and the readiness of personnel. Equipment preparation requires selecting the most appropriate rescue vehicle for the task and properly maintaining and servicing the equipment. Personnel preparation refers to proper training and the selection of protective gear.
2. RESPONSE- Response means response to the scene. The scene must be immediately assessed for traffic control and potential hazards. Placement of the rescue vehicle is an important consideration as well.
3. ASSESSMENT- The first decision to be made is whether rescue is needed. If so, then it is necessary to locate all vehicles and victims. Once this is accomplished, it must be determined if rescue is possible or if more equipment and/or manpower is necessary.
4. HAZARD CONTROL- The primary hazard is fire potential. Two high-volume hoses should always be ready. If necessary, gas leaks should be plugged or diked. Flammable vehicular fluids and electrical systems which could supply a spark for ignition should be checked and remedied. Sharp metal and glass can also pose a danger and rescuers and victims should be protected. Downed power lines and bystanders are other potential hazards which must be considered.
5. STABILIZATION- All vehicles must be stabilized for the safety of victims and rescuers. For victims this is especially important since any movement could worsen an injury. Even vehicles on all four wheels are not stable because it is capable of rolling or bouncing on the tires. Instructions on how to use cribbing to stabilize a vehicle in this position and on its roof and side are given. Other options, if cribbing is not available or adequate, are also given.
6. PRIMARY ACCESS- The objective of primary access is to provide medical personnel with a means to reach victims so they may administer emergency medical attention. The best means of primary access is simply opening one of the vehicle's doors. If the doors are jammed, do not pry them; go through the windows. A second option is to break a side window, preferably away from any victims, using tape to cover the window to avoid glass shattering in the vehicle. The rear window is not recommended because it is usually more difficult to control glass shattering due to the shape and size of the window. Finally, access can be achieved relatively easily through a hatch-back for this type car model.
7. SECONDARY ACCESS- The objective of secondary access is to create an opening from which to remove victims. This usually requires the opening or removal of doors. Several methods for removing doors and opening them beyond their normal range are given. Another less recommended option for secondary access is window removal, with the front windshield advised over the rear window. Options and directions for removing both mastic and rubber mounted windshields are discussed. Finally, two types of roof removal (half-roof and full-roof) are explained.extrication1
8. DISENTANGLEMENT- Disentanglement, the process of freeing victims who become entrapped, may require the movement or removal of certain vehicle parts. Seats can be moved or removed by using hydraulic spreaders or rams, jacks, come-a-longs, or even socket wrenches. Steering wheels can often be tilted, cut half off at the bottom, or fully removed for more working room. The dashboard may be cut out in sections using an air chisel or hacksaw, or it can be displaced using a hydraulic power tools or a come-a-long. Foot pedals causing entanglement can be moved using hydraulic power tools, chains or ropes, or may be unbolted if time permits.
9. PACKAGING AND REMOVAL- Packaging can include bandaging, splinting, spinal immobilization, and weather protection of the victim. Removal refers to the removal of the victim through the passage created during the Secondary Access stage. The same consideration must be given to fatal victims as living victims. Care must be taken not to disturb any evidence.
10. CLEANUP- Cleanup requires the collection and inventory of all tools used. Note should be made of any missing or broken tools. Cribbing used to stabilize a vehicle should be dismantled carefully. All equipment should be cleaned and made ready for their next use.
