The title is "Emergency Preparedness in Canada: How the Fine Arts of Procrastination and Bafflegab Hobble the People Who Will be Trying to Save You When Things Get Really Bad". It's not a nice report, apparently. Although I have been an RT for 17 years, I have also acted as a nurse manager as well as performing international medevacs for a private company (cool job, but no money in it-hard to feed the kids). Today I am marketing innovative medical equipment. The reason mention this is that despite a call for innovation, NO ONE is interested in changing practices that would improve patient outcomes or decrease overall costs to the system. I also have a MBA in healthcare management, and the biggest problem (with the Canadian system at least) is that the hospital systems operate like a classic monopoly, where lack of competition results in very inefficient practices and poor service. This obviously results in worse outcomes for the customer...the patient (except that a poorly served customer has more dire consequences than just being ticked off). Its a very interesting practice to watch, now that I am on the outside.

I found from various manufacturers and distributors that the stated volume can range from 340-425 L. Also, watch out for "super D" configurations, which are much wider and can hold about 60% more volume. The "D is also known as a "MM" in some jurisdictions, which confounds it even more. At the end of the day, look at the tag of each cylinder, which should have the volume stamped on it.

This is the course that has received consistently excellent reviews by attendees of AMTC 2006 and 2007. Now, in 2008, it has been expanded to two full days of training, and includes hands-on demonstration and practice with safety program tools that air medical safety officers and administrators can immediately begin to implement within their local programs. Air medical programs operate in hazardous environments and with unique risks. Essential to reducing these risks are well-organized and vigorous safety programs for both hospitals and air operators. However, most safety programs underperform*they fail to meet their goals or they fall short of their potential. What are the keys to a successful safety program? Leadership, knowledge, and a top-down emphasis on safety spearheaded by knowledgeable safety officers and committed program managers. This class is designed for all individuals who are responsible for program safety at the local level. This includes designated safety officers (pilot and non-pilot), program directors, and others. The two-day curriculum will provide both experienced and novice safety officers with resources and knowledge needed to design, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of their safety program. Participants will acquire knowledge and tools for building a robust safety culture within their organization, and will learn to identify their program's safety deficiencies and high-risk areas. The workshop will provide lecture and discussion of safety principles, case examples of successful safety program models, and hands-on practice with safety information collection, analysis, and interpretation. Exceptional air medical safety practices will be highlighted and contrasted with those that are substandard. Workshop attendees will be provided with a course manual and other support materials including: * Safety program textbook * Guidelines for implementing a safety management system * Safety analysis and incident tracking templates * Format and content guide for PAIPs * Suggested formats for safety committee structure and minutes * Internal safety audit forms * OSHA standards manual * Facility fire protection standards * A course completion certificate The Safety Officer Training Workshop is designed to meet all of the training requirements proposed for basic safety officer certification currently being considered by the AAMS safety committee.

There are two types we use primarily, Stormy Seas and Mustangs. I don't believe the Stormy Seas are Coast Guard certified but they lie flatter on the body and the women say they feel better. I use the Mustang PFD. I learned about it from one of our Rotary Wing pilots and he used them thru out his military career. They are a bit "bulkier" but have great support, roll you over automatically if you end up face down and have a heavy metal D ring for clipping onto a hoist. There are others out there but look these up on the web and see what you and the staff think. I hope this helps. Fly safe.

There are water activated jackets or ones with permanent buoyancy that are unsuitable for helicopters or aircraft. The last thing that you want is a jacket inflated in the helo that floats you up to the roof, or floor if inverted, and makes egress difficult or impossible. So if yours are that "touchy", they may not be good. We use Switlicks here for our over water work and they are fairly comfortable. All of our pilot vests will, or do, have 400mhz voice personal electronic beacons, and some other survival items. We also have emergency flotation on the helicopters with built in rafts (Apical). There are also, or will be shortly, 400mhz beacons in the rafts, and we are in the process of putting automatic activation on the floats so they deploy upon water impact automatically. Remember, if you are not wearing it or have it attached to your body, it's probably useless.

I am a Helicopter Rescue Swimmer for the USCG and our aircrews use the LPU-27/P SAR Warrior Life Vest while aviating over water. It may be a little more than what your looking for but it's supurb for missions that involve flying over water. It has an inflatable life vest that has up to 65lbs. of bouyancy when actuated by 2?CO2 bottles. It also has intergrated webbing loops near the chest for a one-time use of being hoisted from the water in the event of a?water landing. Also, it has a pocket?for a SEAS bottle, (Survival Emergency Air System) for up to 3 minutes of?breathable air in cases of shallow water EGRESS.?Also, many pockets for emergency devices such?as EPIRBs, flares, strobe lights, mirrors, etc. Anyways, thought I would just let you know! Oh yea, here is a link to get an idea of what it looks like. http://www.transaeroinc.com/LifeIIIVest.html ? Have a good one! ?

Another complaint is difficulty returning to package after use. We seldom fly over water, but when we do...

We fly in Lear's and the jackets are under the seat, and there is a raft in the jet that is deployed by the Pilots. I have to say I have never even been trained on the use of the life vests!! I have been with the company for 3 years, and don't even get briefed about emergency egress yearly! I am an old AF FN so I guess they just assume. I have been out due to back injury for 5 months now. I have begun to look at other career options. My sister has a travel agency and at least I can work in that field, phone and computer, without further back injury. thanks Amy Chancey, CFN www.coastalgeorgia.travel www.dna.travel On Sep 19, 2008, at 3:22 PM, michtanner at comcast.net wrote: > Life Flight Salt Lake City is looking for feedback on the best over > water flying life jackets (PFD).

We have them make them up special for us with extra inside pockets for survival gear (it's only a survival kit if it's on you). We send them nomex fabric that matches our flight suits. Lining is nylon, but they should still furnish some fire protection.

The Maryland State Police helicopter was en route to Prince George's Hospital with two patients who had been critically injured in a Charles County, Maryland, car crash. The copter went down in the Ritchie, Maryland, area, spokesman Mark Brady said. The pilot, a paramedic, an emergency medical services technician and one of the patients were killed, he said. The other patient -- a teenage girl -- survived the crash and is being treated at a hospital, he said. The pilot radioed that he was diverting back to his base at Andrews Air Force Base to avoid bad weather just before midnight, Brady said. Two ambulances were sent to Andrews to meet the helicopter and carry the patients to the trauma center. But radio contact with the helicopter was lost, and the wreckage was found after a two-hour search, Brady said. The helicopter crashed on a park trail in the Capitol Heights/Ritchie communities, just east of the District of Columbia, he said.
