WEBVTT

00:05.540 --> 00:06.540
Yeah .

00:10.940 --> 00:11.260
Mm

00:20.640 --> 00:22.840
My name is Lieutenant Ali Grass . I am

00:22.840 --> 00:24.784
an en route care and Critical care

00:24.784 --> 00:27.007
nurse with first Medical Battalion . So

00:27.007 --> 00:29.118
today we're running are en route care

00:29.118 --> 00:30.951
preparatory class . We host stop

00:30.951 --> 00:33.062
training from first Medical Battalion

00:33.062 --> 00:35.284
with instructors that are flight nurses

00:35.284 --> 00:37.284
and flight Corman . So the training

00:37.284 --> 00:39.760
that we are conducting today provides a

00:39.770 --> 00:41.740
foundation for caring for the

00:41.740 --> 00:44.320
critically injured patient or casualty .

00:44.330 --> 00:46.720
Um , it allows our nurses and equipment

00:46.720 --> 00:48.553
to work together as a team . The

00:48.553 --> 00:50.498
biggest difficulty that we try and

00:50.498 --> 00:52.840
simulate is lack of resources . Uh , so

00:52.840 --> 00:55.062
we make it really imperative that these

00:55.062 --> 00:57.284
government understand the importance of

00:57.284 --> 00:59.007
planning ahead , utilizing and

00:59.007 --> 01:01.118
capitalizing on the resources that we

01:01.118 --> 01:03.118
have available to them for en route

01:03.118 --> 01:05.007
care . Specifically we operate on

01:05.007 --> 01:07.062
cattle back platforms . So those are

01:07.062 --> 01:08.896
platforms that are not dedicated

01:08.896 --> 01:10.784
medevac . So their mission is not

01:10.784 --> 01:12.896
solely medical evacuation of patients

01:12.896 --> 01:15.007
or casualties . Gaza back allows us ,

01:15.007 --> 01:17.229
we use the term third of opportunity or

01:17.229 --> 01:19.396
platform of opportunity . We train our

01:19.396 --> 01:21.507
teams apartment and nurses so that we

01:21.507 --> 01:23.284
can operate and provide care to

01:23.284 --> 01:25.229
critically injured patients on any

01:25.229 --> 01:27.830
platform . We have helicopter sounds

01:27.830 --> 01:29.830
going about , the wind blowing , we

01:29.830 --> 01:31.830
make it dark , could make it hot in

01:31.830 --> 01:33.719
order to stimulate what an actual

01:33.719 --> 01:35.774
flight is going to be like . Um it's

01:35.774 --> 01:37.719
very difficult to hear . It's very

01:37.719 --> 01:40.052
difficult to communicate with your team .

01:40.052 --> 01:41.886
Uh , so we require them to think

01:41.886 --> 01:41.810
outside the box and get creative with

01:41.810 --> 01:43.866
how they're going to communicate how

01:43.866 --> 01:46.032
they're going to conduct their patient

01:46.032 --> 01:47.977
care scenarios . We all operate as

01:47.977 --> 01:50.199
apartment nurse a nurse first obviously

01:50.199 --> 01:52.366
and we are ready to take care of those

01:52.366 --> 01:54.366
patients in the setting that we are

01:54.366 --> 01:56.588
assigned to . Um , but then moving that

01:56.588 --> 01:58.643
patient or that casualty out of that

01:58.643 --> 02:00.810
setting to the next one , we're always

02:00.810 --> 02:03.143
going to move to the next economic care .

02:03.143 --> 02:05.310
So having dedicated assets in the form

02:05.310 --> 02:04.880
of foreman and nurses who know how to

02:04.880 --> 02:07.360
do this mission is a huge benefit to

02:07.360 --> 02:10.100
our overall capability of caring for

02:10.100 --> 02:10.560
this patient .
