When in use, this light-weight yellow stretcher (scoop), splits in half so that clinicians can easily manoeuvre the boards beneath a patient to pick them up.
This reduces movement, minimising pain and discomfort in the patient and reduces the risk of disturbing clots/injuries.
htmlText_208552BF_37A4_74FA_41B8_530879BF2109.html =
Engaging autopilot is a central aspect in modern aviation and pilots only disengage these systems during take off and landing. As well as handling autopilot, these two Garmin GTN750s also run flight management systems and pre-programed flight programmes.
htmlText_72729279_72D3_9218_41DA_CFC73D9DDE4D.html =
Known as the 'primary' bag, it contains all things needed to tackle bleeding (tourniquet, bandages etc.) as well as equipment like scalpels and scissors and monitoring equipment e.g. Tempus Monitor & Defibrillator.
htmlText_20731BBA_37AD_94FA_41CB_5FF3746C0A39.html =
MFDs are fully customisable so that each pilot can tailor their display to suit their needs, which may vary depending on the time of day and weather conditions. Standard information displayed includes an artificial horizon, the speed and direction that the helicopter is travelling in.
htmlText_727483D5_72D6_7268_41D1_8AEA8018FF5C.html =
Providing regular chest compressions can take a long time, is exhausting for crew members and means that they are occupied with one task when they could be performing any number of other life saving duties.
This LUCAS device ensures consistent, effective and efficient chest compressions automatically.
The device can be attached to a patient when their heart has stopped (cardiac arrest) and will deliver mechanical chest compressions at the correct rate and depth to the patient’s chest. This will ensure blood continues to circulate around the body. The hard case prevents damage to the equipment in transit.
htmlText_727C3AAF_72D6_9238_41CF_1DC43BC8C799.html =
Red bag - Known as the 'secondary' bag, it contains kit required for 'packaging' such as a pelvic binder or blanket, 'fluids' such as saline and syringes, the drugs bag, equipment for intubation and also PPE such as face masks and Tyvex suit.
This response bag is the crews primary drug supply while on a mission, it contains all of the drugs that they might need (excluding controlled substances), such as: two types of adrenaline, diazepam and anti-biotics.
Also included: packaging bag used to keep patients warm, fluids and access module.
Crews travel with two of these large response bags. Everything inside is fully modular, meaning that different 'sets' or 'kits' can easily be added/removed allowing for greater management and control of what goes in and out of the bag.
htmlText_72834010_7232_EDE8_41D3_0193621AC9F5.html =
Storage drawers and cabinets allow for easy access to additional stocks and supplies that might be required while inflight. This unit can also be cooled/heated for specialist storage.
htmlText_7285EAF7_7231_B217_419B_16BFF1AD3D11.html =
Syringe drivers allow for consistent pain relief and administration/maintenance of anaesthesia while in flight. This automates drug administration and helps to keep patients stable and comfortable.
htmlText_2FD9B27E_37A4_747B_41B4_2F26D730E766.html =
The collective is responsible for controlling all the pitch angles of the rotor blades together (collectively). Increasing or decreasing this angle (moving the lever up and down) will essentially manoeuvre the helicopter up/down or go faster if in level flight.
htmlText_211B70F6_37A3_948B_41C1_361551451243.html =
The cyclic allows pilots to control the angle of bank and forward and backward pitch elements while in motion, essentially like a four dimensional steering wheel. It features buttons that allow for radio communications with ATC, control trim as well as autopilot engage and disengage features.
htmlText_232C3174_37AD_958F_41C6_C8FAEF997228.html =
The minimum requirement for a Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) pilot is to have a UK, CAA issued Commercial Pilots Licence (CPL). Achieving this licence requires a wealth of theoretical knowledge and exams. Studying: weather, navigation, air law, aircraft operations within the UK, aircraft performance, human performance, principles of flight and radio communications. It also requires a minimum amount of flying training - up to 135hrs - as well as passing a test flight. However, this only gets you the licence, you generally require a further 3000hrs flying experience before being considered as a HEMS pilot. Many HEMS pilots are ex military pilots and have considerably more experience than the minimum requirements.
htmlText_21E2AFC2_37AC_6C8B_4162_4BDDC9EFD090.html =
The second seat is reserved for the mission's HTC or Helicopter Technical Crewmember, these are specially trained paramedics who help the pilot with technical support during flight.
htmlText_2F6DF7F8_37A4_BC87_41C7_4EDB5B6C29B5.html =
There are four different ways of communicating onboard, three of these use specialist radios:
1. Air Traffic Control (ATC) radio - we have the capacity to listen to two ATC frequencies at once and have two more frequencies on standby to switch to with one press of a button.
2. Tactical radios - these are based on mobile phone technology and are the primary radios used by all emergency services: Police, Fire, and importantly for us, the Ambulance Service.
3. Maritime radio - a specific radio which allows us to speak to the Coast Guard and all shipping if required.
4. Standard phone - fitted so we can dial any phone number as needed.
htmlText_72843149_7236_AE7B_41B9_84095CB43E94.html =
These black brackets are another great example of how versatile and modular our equipment is. Each of these brackets can hold a vital piece of equipment and each bracket can be connected to the stretcher.
htmlText_20E87ED0_37AC_EC87_41C6_93B6DF0CB3FC.html =
These pedals allow for precise accuracy when controlling the helicopter. Unlike other directional controls, the rudder pedals only work in two dimensions - left and right; pivoting the helicopter from its central point of gravity below the rotor blades whilst in the hover and ensures the aircraft flies through the air in balance.
htmlText_220ACD6D_37AC_ED99_41C6_39F52E0A57E1.html =
These screens provide key information on all of the vehicle's crucial technical details including engine temperature, pressure and hydraulic pressure.
htmlText_21C950C8_37A4_7487_41AE_316F953E0DEE.html =
This bank of controls is responsible for a number of the helicopters onboard computer systems including: autopilot, altitude, speed & heading.
htmlText_22DA20C3_37BC_9489_41CA_352010C93DFA.html =
This folder is the helicopter's emergency checklist and there are a number of different scenarios in which the ECL might be used. To begin with, the pilot will assess a situation before requesting additional information from the HTC who will then read out the next steps and procedures from the ECL to ensure a safe landing for the helicopter.
htmlText_727FFC23_72D1_9628_41D5_4861C409079C.html =
This is storage for equipment, such as the night vision goggles. The helicopter carries three pairs of goggles for night missions.
htmlText_727B081B_72D2_7E1F_41CD_D1D5A4808A81.html =
This little blue bag contains an oxygen cylinder and a variety of masks for adults and children, as well as nebuliser for asthma sufferers.
The helicopter has an onboard supply of oxygen but this kit is used when attending scenes.
The oxygen bag is only used when DAA crews are first on scene (10% of missions).
htmlText_224D0993_37AC_B489_41B2_02AA4E044753.html =
This panel of switches looks pretty overwhelming to the untrained eye, but our pilots know exactly which switch to flick at any given moment. These switches control various systems throughout the vehicle including circuit breakers, generator systems, battery, pitot heaters, lighting and even the more familiar, windscreen wipers!
htmlText_7285206D_7236_AE3B_41D0_D448F67BDC40.html =
This portable suction unit can also be attached to the stretcher. It's used on scene to help clear patient airways of any number of secretions/blockages.
htmlText_727858AA_72DE_9E39_41D5_25A51AEF75C1.html =
When a patient isn’t breathing for themselves, either after we have delivered an anaesthetic, or when they have suffered a cardiac arrest, this device ensures the patient’s lungs are ventilated without the need for us to manually deliver breaths to the patient.
Like a lot of the equipment onboard, the Hamilton T1 can be detached from its current position and attached to the stretcher.
htmlText_7287A5E5_7231_B62B_41AB_6DDD74459E4E.html =
When our crews attend a mission, there are always two paramedics onboard, one of these is an HTC (Helicopter Technical Crewmember) who sits next to the pilot.
This is where the second paramedic sits, where they have access to the rear comms radio systems, as well as allowing them to stay close to the patient.
