Big day in the #RRG yesterday, working with @kyarmyguard @airforcespecialtactics and local SAR teams on a field training exercise involving two lost and injured hikers. 238th Wildcat Dustoff inserted @sar_pup to locate the subjects. Then, we teamed up with the @123airliftwing PJs and CCTs to treat their injuries related to a simulated fall off a 5 story cliff. @wolfecountysar and Powell County SAR raised them up. Then, the flight Paramedics of the 238th hoisted the patient, along with one of our Nurses, and flew them to Lexington for a trauma alert drill @ukhealthcare Level 1 trauma center. Special shout out to @amr_social whose Lexington crew transferred our patient from the tarmac at Bluegrass airport to UK. A phenomenal day dedicated to patient-centered care. #sar #wildernessEMS #dustoff #medevac #greenfeet

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT- UPCOMING EXERCISE: On Saturday, August 10th, we are participating in a large multi-agency training exercise in the area of Double Arch, near the Auxier Ridge area of the Red River Gorge //// Visitors to the Red River Gorge can expect to see a large presence of public safety officials and vehicles, as well as military aircraft and personnel, in the area of Auxier Ridge Parking Area and Double Arch between the hours of 10:00 and 4:00 pm. //// Some visitors may also see a simulated patient wearing fake injuries, acting as though he is in distress. This actor will be accompanied at all times by Search and Rescue personnel, and "training in progress" signs will be obvious in the vicinity. Exercise planners have coordinated with Daniel Boone National Forest managers. #wildernessmedicine #wildmed #sar #rrg /// ping @sar_pup @dustoff_doc @wolfecountysar @kyarmyguard

We're excited to add this new item to our arsenal, thanks to our sponsorship by Powell County EMS (who is also adding them to all of their frontline units). The patient care benefits of VL devices are compelling, but an operational benefit to wilderness EMS teams is that that this setup actually weighs much less than a typical metal manual laryngoscope set.
