The goal of the low angle evacuation is to keep the patient moving and get them out as safely and comfortably as possible. OBJECTIVES Identify, describe & define when and how to perform a Low Angle vs. LOW ANGLE RESCUE During this session we’ll discuss the various degrees or classifications of Low Angle Rescue, and Patient extrication. Weave webbing around upright stays, not over the railing. 3.ğinish with a round turn and 2 half-hitches on one end, then pull slack back through entire black webbing. Ensure leg webbing is pulled taut against torso webbing.This may or may not be needed in low load angle environment.ĮXTERNAL LASHING NOTE: External lashing is required when performing high angle rescue.
1.Ĝonnect yellow webbing to harness with an interlocked girth hitch. Secure torso webbing with round turn and 2 half-hitches on either side. INTERNAL LASHING NOTE: webbing is tied off to an upright stay, not the railing. STEPS TO PATIENT PACKAGING: Stabilize the patient before loading -Head/eye/face protection -Sit harness (for steep& high angle, maybe considered during medium) -C-collar, backboard, bandaging, splinting Prepare the litter to receive the patient Load the patient Lash the patient into the litter securely -Internal lashing (utilize only the amount needed for the type of rescue) -External lashing Never tie patient lashing around top rail of the litter: Always weave webbing between uprights of the stokes or to internal areas of plastic stretchers. Ensure carabiners are properly loaded and will not torque or side load.
All carabiners should have gates opening down and toward the “inside” of the litter basket. They must also be externally lashed to prevent them from movement within the litter. SAFETY Patient(s) must be internally lashed to protect them from ejection out of the ends of the litter. The patient should not move or shift in the litter during transport. Careful packaging protects the patient while allowing access to monitor vitals. 2- yellow webbing (internal lashing) 1- black webbing (external lashing, if needed) Medical and environmental considerations and the type of litters available dictate patient packaging. Equipment needed: Litter basket Tarp Patient harness Patient PPE Litter shield Head protection Eye protection Padding/pads Blanket for warmth Medical supplies as needed Backboard Cervical collar, etc. To demonstrate securing patient to a littler properly. PATIENT PACKAGING Objectives: To identify, describe and define the advantages and disadvantages of each type of litter.
