The Importance of Air Ambulance on Search and Rescue Operations

Planning for disaster risks and reduction is very important. There should always be a contingency plan for every disaster. Moreover, a concrete strategy must be made in terms of evacuation, search and rescue operations. This is where the importance of air ambulance on emergency situations comes in.

Air ambulances are very instrumental when it comes to search and rescue operations.

Search and Rescue (SAR) is a unique service. It is performed in the most challenging circumstances by highly trained individuals. It is also the search and provision of aid to people who are in distress or imminent danger.

The Philippines has a long history of natural disasters such as flooding due to typhoon, earthquakes, as well as fires. These dangers affect some of the most remote and inaccessible areas. Helicopters are the best vehicles when the area is not passable by ambulances or other land vehicles.

An air ambulance is the best vehicle for search and rescue operations. It basically comes with medical tools and supplies as well as highly trained medical personnel.

Search and rescue operations are also applicable for accidents like:

  • sunken ships
  • trapped mountaineers
  • stranded wildlife in the middle of a landslide or forest fire.

Benefits Of Aerial Photography To Different Industries

Aerial photography is the process of taking photographs from the air using either a drone or an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or while riding a helicopter. It is utilized to take some aerial shots for movies and/or TV coverage. But now, aerial photography is also instrumental to various industries.
It would be ideal for some photographers to take the pictures themselves by riding a helicopter.

Aerial photography is a new way of taking pictures for a more holistic imagery of a certain place or location has earned its fame for different applications. This includes engineering, construction, business, real estate, celebrations, and land surveying.  As a result, aerial photography becomes a trend for different industries. Moreover, it is more practical and can produce better visuals than just a mere map.

Here are the other benefits of aerial photography for different industries:

Engineering/Construction

A well-detailed and elaborate map of a certain location or the potential construction site is very important for many architects and engineers. They can make more elaborate visuals that depict the actual look of the site through aerial photography. In addition, an aerial photograph of a certain map is important on creating BIM maps. This will be very crucial in setting up a very good construction plan for a certain structure.

Businesses/Real Estate 

A vicinity map is one of the most common ways of showing a certain real estate property in a brochure. The buyers will get a glimpse of the environment of the property that they are eyeing to purchase through this. Also, the significant features of the property locations, as well as the structure itself, will be more highlighted. Furthermore, this is also perfect in planning a location for a certain corporate building, mall, or other enormous properties.

Land Surveying

It is important to have a holistic visual of the land mass where a surveyor needs to supervise. This applies for both environment or wildlife protection. In addition, the actual topographical situation will not just be seen but will also be given emphasis.

Therefore, aerial photography is really the best way to re-imagine maps. Most of all, its quality and outputs are truly beneficial to every industry.

How-Your-Brain-Reacts-During-an-Emergency

How Your Brain Reacts During an Emergency

If one thought about it clearly, any kind of emergency can be deduced to a matter of perspective. The gravity of a situation can vary, depending on how you look at it. Of course, any kind of life-and-death circumstance is considered grave. But sometimes, what sets the difference between living and dying is how the people involved responds to the emergency.

This is actually how the average brain reacts in the event of an emergency.

First things first: what do you do? There is a need to know what to do in the given situation. And so, you decide. The brain becomes rattled with different options. And each option is influenced by a lot of factors. A person undergoes three major stages before arriving at a decision.

1. Denial

Have you ever felt like wanting to just disappear from where you stood at the onset of an emergency? You may have uttered ‘This is not happening!” a hundred times, but you’re still at the very same spot you despise. This is the denial stage and experiencing that is completely normal. But this stage is also quite hard to get through. Without the actual events sinking in, the person cannot act to do something about the emergency. This is why one of the first reminders in encountering an emergency is to maintain a calm mind. In the state of panic, the brain’s ability to create a sound judgment is hindered, and can even put everyone in even grave danger.

2. Deliberation

Once actual events have sunk in, time to think things through. What are your options? Will this work? Will that work? If Plan A has a loophole, Plan B may be better. But in this stage, the brain will have to work fast and process every option within a matter of a few minutes, depending on how urgent the need for an action is. Again, if the emergency involves the life or lives of people, a prompt analysis of every action possible is needed.

3. Decisive action

You have actually decided upon an option. What’s next? Take action. Do what you have to do. But make sure that you stay calm and channel any form of anger into an energy that you can use to get your plan into action.

***

One rule of thumb is to maintain a clear state of mind. Once you were able to do that during an emergency, you will be able to save a lot of lives and property if it ever comes to it. Also, call for help if you know you cannot handle it.

Air-ambulance

When to get an air ambulance? Remember F.A.L.T.E.R.

Misuse of air ambulance may cost a lot of money and wasted efforts. There are instances where air medical services staff were called for a minor incident that doesn’t necessarily need air medical transport. That’s why, people need to be aware of the right time and situation when to call an air ambulance.

 

A medical practitioner is responsible for the welfare of the patient. You still have to check and analyze well (but better be fast because time is running and your patient’s life is at risk) if it is ideal for your patient to be transported by helicopter. Hence, remember the brand new acronym F.A.L.T.E.R. This suggests the six necessary questions that you have to ask or think for yourself first before calling for an air ambulance service.

 

F stands for FEAR

Ask yourself. Are you just making this decision because you are afraid of spending the next hour taking care of that patient?Brush away the fear because it is not a reason for you to call for an alternate transport and load the patient into your ambulance. Act upon your responsibilities.

 

A stand for ACCESS

Will there be enough place or area where the air ambulance can land? The accessibility of your area can be crucial at times. Trying to consider calling out for an air transport and finding an area where it can land can consume more time and prolong the agony of your patient. Load the patient in your ambulance and drive to the hospital as fast yet as safe as you can.

 

L stands for LAZY or LAZINESS

Similar to fear, laziness can also be a reason why you should call an air transport. Although this is one of the most negative reasons right here, seeking air medical transport to ease the job that you will handle (or simply being honest about yourself that the situation requires the hospital facilities) is still ideal.

 

T stands for TIME

As one of the greatest and most crucial reasons, time is running out and you have to act immediately before your patient passes out. Some clinical emergencies like significant trauma, strokes, and myocardial infarction are proven to benefit from reduced time to definitive care so calling for an air ambulance is a must. Save time and get your patient to the safe zone as fast as possible.

 

E stands for EXTRICATION

If your patient is deemed applicable for quick transport but the inland transport can get delayed, consider the helicopter transport. Should the patient require extended extrication or extraction from their location, call it the sick and stuck rule. If your patient is sick and they are stuck, then air medical transport will be necessary.

 

R stands for REAL

Lastly, consider everything in relation to the reality. Some air ambulances may take the time to land on your location, hence, you must be aware enough if the situation of your patient can still wait for a few minutes. Make sure that the situation that you are in is really deemed necessary for an air medical transport. But, if an alternative transport system is available, you should then consider that first.
