bs205 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Is it true that when a patiant is loaded that there is not enough room between them and the cieling to give chest compressions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmark Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yes, velociraptors are quite cramped inside 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggins Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yes, velociraptors arNe quite cramped inside NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR CHEST COMPRESSIONS? Maybe Howdy Doody could conthe tax paying public into coughing up for a few S92's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuddenStop Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I've never done chest compressions in an AW139, so I cannot comment. However I have done them in the front seat of a crashed car. Which you might imagine is quite confined. The interior height being 4.6 feet for the AW139 is far short of 6.6 feet found on the S92 and comparable to 4.5 feet found on the S76. An average ground ambulance runs you in the 72" range and when we're in the back doing compressions to the hospital, there is ample room, and you do not need the full 6' of height. So I would probably debunk the myth that you can't do them in an AW139 because the ceiling is too low, only agree with the fact it's not an ideal open space with free unobstructed access.

SuddenStop Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 http://www.ornge.ca/Media/Documents/OrngeVertical2011.pdf Page 4 No there's not enough room. how low is the stretcher set that is depicted in the "promotional photograph"? is it at the lowest? because they range from 50cm low to 100cm high on average. judging from the crouched medics, I don't believe that stretcher is as low as it goes. and even if it is, I look at the height between the roof and the chest and feel thats workable. Not ideal, but workable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R22Captain Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 yes that pic was at it's lowest.....and highest. the stretcher goes on top of the pedestal to his right. and here's another view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
