Tonight, Queensbury EMS members spent the evening sharpening their skills in patient lifting and moving and safe pediatric transport.
Crews reviewed the mechanics of force and movement, even using eggs for a hands-on demonstration of how forces can affect a patient during movement and transport.
We then put those concepts into practice with two pediatric scenarios: a pediatric patient with a leg injury and a pediatric medical call. Providers worked through patient assessment, safe lifting and movement, transport considerations, communication, and teamwork.
When the patient is small, the details matter. Tonight was about practicing those details before they’re needed on a real call.
Great work by all!
