All involved deserve a huge thank you. The pilot was amazing to be able to touch that thing down with little to no reference of? the ground. Well done!

Wow, um yes? you do. Its called a sager and you splint it so the bone doesn't slice up the femoral arterty.

*high? fives* yay, I'm training down here in the states

I am? a Volunteer Ski Patrol :)

I bet on the spinal too... Anyway, in our station(somewhere in Québec) if ever the case it was a femur , we use vacuum splints, which is faster than traction. If ever the case the patient was not stable we only use de backboard... The femur is already immobilized with that if you put a sufficiant? blanket between your patient's legs.

ya? ya, but when it goes to court all that matters is weather or not you followed the OEC instructions which say use traction or SAGAR splint on a midshaft femur fracture.

i agree. if a patient is in such condition that a medivac is necessitated, applying a traction splint to a patient is only going to increase time spent on the hill...this is something that should be avoided. if this was a multi-trauma pt. with femur i'd pull traction using the good leg and a cravat...takes 30 sec and is effective. seems to me that this guy has a lot going on, most likely not just spinal or just femur. anyone know what it takes to work on WSP??
By: forestranger2. on 16 Nov 08, 23:09:06
Agreed. Use of? SAGARs depends on the hill, the proximity of the device, and how the elapsed time between the injury and warmth. You have to decide (depending on the terrain, because you could be off piste) on the safest and fastest way to extricate and transport to medical aid.

I shot the loading part from the deck of a lodge, when you see the ledge of the deck? momentarily, I was ducking behind the ledge, & all shots were zoomed up quite a bit.

You don't splint femurs on the hill. Check the lift in and out of the toboggan. It's most like a spinal.?

One year ago I had a concussion and severe laceration on my right arm that brought? in a Medivac, but they were able to stabilize me for ambulance transport to Vancouver. Whistler's Ski Patrol has my admiration beyond words. I was told that I'd never be able to use my right arm again. One year of surgery and rehab later, I just ripped it up on Kristi on Ajax in Aspen last week and have the Highland Bowl in sight. More rehab to go, but this Chicago Mom owes them everything. They are incredible.

i? was standing next to the camera when it was filming :P
By: Boardingmedic. on 09 Jan 08, 22:14:53
Yeah Guessing just from the way the pt is packaged My money would be on a head or? spinal injury
By: allyanncah. on 05 Jan 08, 20:01:49
If it were a femur, he'd probably have a traction splint on; he doesn't. Unless he broke it proximally or distally, I'd venture? a guess that it's a spinal injury.
By: wradar. on 10 Dec 07, 08:53:21
KW, I don't understanding what you're saying. What about? the blades???
By: kwvaussie. on 09 Dec 07, 17:39:16
Wr have you forgot the Helicopter blades? And? this is from someone is neither a Ski Patroller or pilot.
By: XpolymerX. on 06 Oct 07, 03:46:57
must agree with hp2ski on this one. Although my accident happend half way around the world in Tux, Austria. and I was found damn near dead by the piste workers. The crew that flew me out totally rocked \m/ People that patrol are gods hands down. It's just a pain you can't thank them all the time. There isn't a shitter feeling then coming close? dying on a mountain alone 5000 miles away from home
By: ChaPatrol. on 20 Sep 07, 13:04:16
Me too, I was volunteer Ski Patrol for 13 years in Chile, and 2 years in Canada. Probably the best period of? my life.

Im? a ski patrol out east on a small mountain
By: ChaPatrol. on 13 Aug 07, 22:16:50
All the Ski Patrollers around the world, ar kind of hero to other. Specialy? the Volunteers Ski Patrol.

Use of a Sager traction splint? along with a backboard and the other equipment used would suggest a broken femur, however there is no traction splint that has visibly been applied here...
By: CaterpillarKiller. on 15 Jun 07, 05:53:17
close review of the video does not reveal a sager? splint or boot removal. It appears this is a spinal injury...
By: wradar. on 06 May 07, 00:42:14
So, the guy on the ground is pretty much? the visual reference point the whole time? Wow, I'll bet he has to be sure to wear his depends the first time he does that! :) Thanks for the info! (We don't get a whole lot of snow landings out in Hawaii. Ha ha.)
By: glennbguest. on 06 May 07, 00:39:10
IN a? Whiteout landing (most snow landings) there is no other vertical reference for the pilot to maintain visual contact with the ground. this is standard operating procedure in rescue and other snow landings, heliskiing in uncharted areas without landing flags.
