Patient condition, their situation, hazard control and the available resources will influence the methods and speed at which the operation will need to be accomplished. An Ambulance, supervisory designee, ALS provider, Engine Company and Extrication Equipment shall be dispatched. 1. The Squad Truck Team and the Duty Squad shall be included on the initial dispatch to all calls requiring any form of extrication of a patient. 2. If there is a staffed EMS Squad Truck closer to the scene than the responding Duty Squad Truck, it shall be responded and the Duty Squad Truck cancelled at the discretion of any EMS supervisor. 3. If there is a Fire Department Ladder OR EMS Squad Truck closer than the responding EMS Squad Truck, the Ladder OR Fire Squad shall be dispatched as a supplement. 4. Only one EMS Squad Truck is necessary for a vehicle extrication call, unless modified by the on-scene incident commander or an EMS Supervisor. 5. Only one Fire extrication unit is necessary to augment a vehicle extrication call. They shall only be dispatched when closer by time/distance unless modified by the onscene incident commander or an EMS Supervisor. The first arriving unit on scene should establish command and shall perform the following procedures: 1. Confirm that the required extrication resources for this call are responding or have been requested. (A minimum of one EMS Squad Truck if available) 2. Ensure that all resources necessary to control hazards are responding. 3. Establish an Extrication Group Leader, Medical Group Leader and a Safety Officer as appropriate. 4. Ensure that the responding Squad Truck has immediate access to the accident scene (within 25 feet of the vehicles involved)
8 Page 8 Once appointed the Extrication Group Leader shall: 1. Ensure that the vehicle is properly stabilized prior to beginning extrication (Refer to Appendices A, B and C). Verify lock-out/tag-out of all machinery. 2. Perform controlled movement and/or removal of all metal and/or obstructions in order to properly package and remove the patient without further aggravating the patient's injuries. 3. Ensure that the patients and patient care providers are properly protected throughout the entire extrication, covered with fire retardant blankets at the minimum. 4. Will work closely with the patient care providers / ALS to assist where needed while transferring the patient out of the vehicle, at this point, the Medical Group Leader will assume complete control over the patient. Once appointed the Safety Officer shall: 1. Ensure that the Hot, Warm and Cold zones have been identified and being observed. 2. Ensure that the patients and patient care providers are properly protected throughout the entire extrication, covered with fire retardant blankets at the minimum. 3. Ensure that all hazards are under control and no danger to rescuers exists at the incident. 4. Ensure that a charged and attended hose line is in place. Once appointed the Medical Group Leader shall: 1. Ensure that a primary patient survey has been completed, and that there is adequate c- spine immobilization and BLS care. ALS providers should be used when possible and work in conjunction with the extrication group. During the Demobilization phase, the Incident Commander, Extrication Group Leader, Medical Group Leader and a Safety Officer will continue to work closely together to secure the scene in a safe manner. SECTION IV: VEHICLE & MACHINERY EXTRICATION PROCEDURES DEFINITION: All types of extrications are the responsibility of the Department of Emergency Medical Services (DEMS). These procedures will cover in-detail the proper methods of Vehicle Extrication that are acceptable under the DEMS standards. Vehicle Extrication is the procedure used to remove accident victims who are entrapped in wreckage by either the nature of their injuries and/or the entanglement of themselves in the vehicle wreckage. While these procedures apply to simple vehicle extrication scenarios, they may also be applied to more complex situations. For Clarification purposes, an EMS Squad Truck is defined as one of the Volunteer Squad Trucks. A fire extrication vehicle is defined as a Ladder Truck or Fire Squad
9 Page 9 A. GUIDELINES FOR VEHICLE EXTRICATION/STABILIZATION PROCEDURE: 1. Turn off ignition and disconnect battery, if accessible 2. Place vehicle in park and apply parking brake, if possible. 3. Use step chocks on both sides of the vehicle as close to the back tires as Possible but in front of them, add two more step chocks close to but behind the front tires. The air in the tires at this point must be removed for proper stabilization. 4. Another method that may be used for multiple vehicles or highly elevated trucks or cars is to use a box crib build up under four corners of the vehicle in the areas described. Remove all necessary glass to properly perform door and roof removal. 5. At this point the door or doors should be removed by one of the following methods: vertical door to roof rail spread; hinge side first; or striker bolt side first These methods will depend on the condition of the door. 6. The roof should be removed for access to the patient and to provide additional operating space for the patient care providers. This may involve flapping or total removal of the roof. If only one door is to be forced open, the roof post cuts should be performed at the same time on the opposite side of the door being forced to decrease the extrication time 7. At this point a dash roll-up may need to be performed to push the dash off the patient. A relief cut should be made at the kick panel and then a proper ram or rams placed to perform the dash roll-up. Only push the needed side of the dash. B. GUIDELINES FOR VEHICLES ON THEIR ROOFS PROCEDURE: 1. Use step chocks, high level jacks or tensioned buttress stabilization device to keep the vehicle from moving. 2. If the vehicle needs to be raised, insert lifting device in the allowable space. 3. Stabilization should be enough that no moderate rocking or movement should take place. 4. At this point, hydraulic spreaders may be used to open the needed doors to gain entry. 5. All lifting devices and cribbing should be removed in reverse order to maintain safety of the personnel C. GUIDELINES FOR VEHICLES ON THEIR SIDES PROCEDURE: 1. When a vehicle is found on its side, consider this vehicle unstable. Do not rock test prior to entry. 2. The main objective is to increase ground contact between the vehicles and to widen the base of stability 3. It is acceptable to use wood blocking, step cribbing, and high-level jacks as initial stabilization procedures - 9 -
10 Page Prior to beginning the extrication, secondary stabilization procedures must be performed. A two or four point anchor system attached to the accident vehicle must be employed. Rescue chains to cable or chain lug-alls anchored to a strong ground anchor point, pickets, and rescue vehicles, guardrails. A tensioned buttress stabilization device or rescue vehicle mounted winches may be used to complete this requirement. Rope is not considered an acceptable stabilization device. 5. The extrication from this point forward may include cutting the top roof post and folding the roof down to the ground, or the possible removal of the entire roof for proper access, removal and transfer of the patient. SECTION V: TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION A. Identification In order to readily identify personnel on an extraction scene the following color schemes have been adopted for use. BLUE HELMET WITH YELLOW STRIPES BLUE HELMET WITH GREEN STRIPES WHITE HELMET Trainee Driver/Operator Attendant Level I and II Officer All Squad Trucks will carry one white helmet with squad number to be utilized by the senior team member of that Squad Truck in the absence of a Squad Truck Supervisor on duty.
