At the recent<br /> Wilderness First Aid Course, the attendees learned a unique method<br /> of packaging a subject for evacuation. Basically, the subject is<br /> placed on a Thermarest which is then wrapped around him/her with<br /> strapping or ropes, following which the Thermarest is inflated. It<br /> provides comfort and a means of spinal immobilization. The subject<br /> can be handled and transported using just the Thermarest. If the<br /> weather is cool or cold, a sleeping bag can be placed over the<br /> whole package. PCSAR should have this equipment to provide one set<br /> to up to five field teams.<br /> <br /> * Recommendation:That PCSAR acquire 5 Thermarest (or equivalent) mattresses of<br /> appropriate design and size.<br /> <br /> 2004-10-26 [[PreplanCommittee]] endorses recommendation<br /> to the Board (sets quantity to 5).<br /> <br /> ==To Do:==<br /> * Equip stokes stretcher</div>
