==Aircare update==
2010-03-19

'''''Item #1'''''

During today’s EMS Quality Council meeting, Brian Leonard from Air Care, informed us that Air Care can transport pediatric traumas when working a code.

The reason is . . . there is enough room to work on a pediatric patient, whereas, there is not enough room for an adult.

Keep this in the back of your mind should you be on a pediatric trauma call, you have already called for and air transport is responding . . . and the patient goes into cardiac arrest.  Keep the helicopter coming . . . as they will be able to transport.


'''''Item #2'''''

All EMTs and Paramedics are invited to schedule ride time with Air Care, should you desire.


'''''Item #3'''''

Air Care will be sending out a survey link.  It will be forwarded from your Chiefs to the stations.  Please take a few minutes and complete the survey . . honestly.  They are looking for input from the field.
