Vehicle Rescue Technique (Final) Vehicle Stacking Accident & Joint Operation & Training

First, the vehicle stacking accident

In a stacking accident, a car usually collides with a large truck. Due to the difference in the volume and structure of the vehicle, it is possible for the trolley to be partially or completely compressed under the large truck.

This kind of accident is very challenging, and depending on the stacking severity (the car is pushed under the cart), the best solution is to re-separate the car and reposition it.

The initial assessment allows the field commander to obtain the information needed to establish the best rescue plan and also helps the commander determine the additional equipment or resources that may be needed.

If the structure of the trolley is not pressed under the cart for the most part, then the technique described by the lock in the space manufacture = vehicle rollover portion is sufficient. However, if the entrance is blocked or it is difficult to manufacture the entrance, then alternatives are used.

Vehicle reposition

The plan to reposition the vehicle (or move the vehicle to another place) seems to be contrary to what we have learned and to the stability of the vehicle, but we must remember that our rescue plan is a balanced decision:

1 security

2 available time (according to the physical condition of the injured person)

3 The position, body direction and dynamic body condition of the injured

For these reasons described above, rescue workers must decide whether to reposition the vehicle. Whether or not to relocate the vehicle must be decided as soon as possible, because time is passing, this time leading to delays in on-site rescue work.

priority

The field commander must determine the priority level to ensure that risk factors are handled and efforts are made to adopt control measures to reduce the risk.

Considerations (large vehicles are trucks)

1 What is the cargo on board? Is it carrying dangerous goods?

2 Is the cargo liquid or granular? This may cause "load transfer"

3 must be fixed large vehicles have the necessary equipment

4 Do you need to lift a large vehicle? Is it necessary equipment?

Second, joint operations

It is rare for a single department to carry out rescue operations.

The most common situation in the world is the following types of personnel to carry out rescue operations:

1 policeman

2 Fire and Rescue Service Center (or other technical aid agency)

3 medical team (usually nursing staff)

In most accidents, the above-mentioned units will work together to ensure safe and timely rescue operations. Each unit has its own set of on-site limited word orders:

Policemen

The police are responsible for protecting public facilities and collecting on-site evidence of fatal accidents (or serious injuries). The police may use skills such as emergency or trauma treatment. In some parts of the world, the police are responsible for the overall situation at the scene.

Fire and Rescue Service Center

The rescue service center is responsible for the technical aspects of the rescue operations and, if the situation warrants, the use of first aid or trauma treatment skills. In some parts of the world, the agency is responsible for the overall situation on the site until the end of the rescue operation and entrusts it to the police.

Medical unit

In most parts of the world, medical units (usually medical staff) are mainly responsible for the medical condition of the injured.

In addition to the above institutions, other resources may be needed. These include:

1 above other resources, such as ambulance aircraft, accident investigation or professional heavy rescue equipment

2 other equipment, such as heavy lifting equipment.

When multiple agencies at the scene act at the same time, besides their respective priorities, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the site. Pulling out the inside and outside cordon will greatly help the control of the on-site personnel.

key point:

1 Multiple agencies should establish relationships with each other, which facilitates joint training and preparation.

2 Each agency should understand its own site priorities and the requirements listed by other agencies. This mutual understanding ensures that the team works more effectively.

3 Communication between agencies is very important: This includes prior communication (training), on-site communication, and post-accident communication (evaluation).

Third, training

In order to save the victims of traffic accidents, the technology is becoming more and more complicated. The new car technology, new rescue tools, and new knowledge of the trauma, which means that our team has a deeper understanding of the rescue scene, but also more aware of what actions need to be taken to rescue the injured safely and timely. After understanding this principle, the continuous increase of these practical operations and theoretical learning has become a major challenge at present.

Just as Zhou Xiang plans to deal with traffic accidents, the methods of training and preparation itself also need to stress methods, the structure is complete and strict training review. There are many theories about obtaining and retaining knowledge, but any learning (including training courses or practical accidents) should be considered as a cycle process. We must plan, execute, and evaluate based on an evaluation of the future training base.

Should be regularly trained. The degradation of skills is one aspect that is easy to ignore, and we do not have the ability to perform skill operations for a period of time. The study found that in terms of promoting long-term memory of skills, a large amount of practice or intensive training is less effective than intermittent practice.

Provide training

The dynamics of training is a big issue. However, assuming that the hinge is not interested in the topic or does not have the relevant knowledge, the training course is not effective. If the coach has relevant knowledge but is not good at communication, then the listener cannot gain knowledge, so the value of the training course will be questioned here. The coach must understand the student and understand the student’s previous learning and skills. Different groups should be divided according to age, ability and the service life of rescue workers, and coaches should understand the differences between groups, and then assist in discussions based on experience to share knowledge. These processes must have defined goals, and these goals should be evaluated at the end of each course to ensure awareness of the goals.

There are two major objectives of this type of training course. It should be remembered with emphasis:

1 to ensure the safe operation of the equipment, equipment operations in line with the manufacturer's instructions and standard operating procedures.

2 Ensure that rescue personnel can effectively use equipment, demonstrate comprehensive practical ability and master the basic theoretical knowledge of the latest technology.

We should always ensure that we focus on all the above highlights, and we must meet the above highlights to ensure the safety and growth of rescue workers.

Due to the lack of modern vehicles for training operations, theoretical knowledge must be conducted as part of the learning process. We do not need to show all the new vehicles we like. Training must be forward-looking rather than just passive. We must strive to discover what we don't know, and understand what we don't understand before an accident!

After an accident, the accident vehicle can serve as a basis for training assessment. This is a great opportunity for us to see emerging vehicle structures and technologies. Depending on the nature of the accident, the vehicle may be photographed (after permission is obtained) for later learning.

Finally, rescue operations are generally divided into two major areas of emphasis, technical (or physical) and medical assistance. In terms of training, in order to provide timely rescue operations to the injured, the above two principles should be taught together and all rescue workers must be able to comply with multiple principles and be able to have a deep understanding of all aspects of the rescue operation. As far as I am concerned, if you want to become a rescue elite, there is no alternative but to join the rescue team and receive training.
