So far the rehearsals have gone well. We managed to deploy our Battalion Casualty Station in twenty minutes. Still, I think we can do better than that.
Setting up is one thing. The next examinable portion is the resuscitation procedures. Basically when severely wounded casualties come in, some life-saving procedures have to be carried out stat. We are like the A&E of the battlefield. In fact, many of these procedures are indeed used in an ordinary A&E department. For example, Endotracheal Intubation (ETT) is used to ensure that a patient can breathe even though his neck muscles have failed. For next week’s exercise I will be one of the medics assisting at the resus tables, and being examined as well!
This week we have been practicing the resuscitation procedures. So far it is moving along well. I just hope I don’t make any silly mistakes.
REDCON 1!! REDCON 1!!
