  • Welcome. Today we are back in the Netherlands, where we are about to join the police officers from Team Traffic. They are requested to assist an ambulance driving from the small town of Ter Aar to the Leiden University Medical Center. The paramedics are in need of an emergency escort to transport a young child to the hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest.
    This emergency ride will turn out to be one the worst so far, so keep watching.

    14:55 There is always communication with bridge operators to close, or keep closed the bridge. This will be investigated. Maybe the operator didn't get the call. Maybe there was a ship unable to stop in time. The outcome will be used to learn and even rewrite the procedures.
    15:35 Stress level is understandably higher the younger the patient. But the professional crew silenced the siren till they could move again.
    15:51 Checking the next bridge is down. From this point there are more than one route options.
    I travel this route often, but not nearly as fast as they did.

      If you are on the highway and there is no emergency lane I think the (unwritten) rule is to create an emergency lane. If you are in the left lane go as far left and if you are in the right lane go as far right so you create an emergency lane in the middle.

Its incredible how many people refuse to do that even if they have vehicles infront of them that do it correctly. Similar thing goes for using signals properly our pulling out infront of someone. The amount of times somebody just pulls out from behind a truck on the Autobah in the last second and force the people in the passing lane to brake hard to not rear end them is ridiculous. It happened so often to me that i can easily guess how hard I need to brake to just barely not touch them.

    I was there a few months back during a guest lecture from South Holland's mobility advisers and they are planning to rebuild both of those bridges as they are lacking in capacity and are too low. I think the Lammebrug Bridge will be a fixed bridge with more lanes, while the Trekvlietbrug Bridge will be a non-fixed one, but as it will also be lifted up, so the times it has to be opened will fall by a big amount.

On one occasion things had to go fast and they had a call about a critical patient on a camping site the "boom" on the road leading into the site was down and it wasn't automated with no operators nearby. I'm still surprised at how effective ambulances are at removing booms. went straight thru it no problem and get there on time.

      Hey,
      Normally it would be transported with a heli. But in this case, the patient can't handle transport through helicopter due to it being a bumpy ride. You can also see in the video that they are alerting the ambulance about heavy bumps.
      The goal of the motor agents is that the ambulance has a good steady pace so the ambulance doesn't have to break and of course gets as fast to the hospital.
      This is the safest way for this patient to be transported.

      @@jrobertsnz As far is I know, patients never get transported by helicopter. Emergency helicopters are meant for a doctor to get to a place as quickly as possible to try and stabilize a patient. An ambulance is actually equipped to treat someone. Hence the need for a smooth ride so the crew can tend to the patient. I always get a little sad when I see one fly over, cos they're only used in the most dire cases, most often for children/younger patients. The whole cost/benefit ratio of deploying a helicopter is quite an interesting topic as it considers a lot of factors, but basically boils down to how many years can be saved, thus why it's usually deployed for younger people.

    Nice of them to have contact with the bridge. When I worked on an ambulance in the US, the way to the nearest major hospital was over 1 of 2 possible bridges. One a gigantic elevator bridge probably 40 to 50 times the size of this one and another nearby that was maybe 15 to 20 times the size of this. When I started working, I asked what if the bridge is up? And the answer was pretty much too bad. I think dispatch could get a message to the operator, but that was about it. If the bridge needed to go up, it went up.

      You want to avoid bumps if you can, but generally shorter/faster is always better even if it means more bumps. The advance warning for the bumps is in case they are performing operations that require smooth riding, like injections or inserting IV lines, handling anything sharp, etc. You don't want to get a sudden jolt during such. Both for the success of the operation and your own safety.

    And we've got canals and streams aplenty....
    Up in the north, in (otherwise beautiful) Frisia, it's sort of become a sport to raise bridges when there's huge amounts of traffic underway. Motorways A7 or N31 in particular.
    I've seen ambulances got stuck as well, on their way to hospitals in Leeuwarden, Drachten or Sneek.
    And no matter what, recreational traffic on water always goes first.

      Really? Perhaps it's because the cycling here is less recreational and more commute. People with places to be tend to be more tense on the road. Won't deny I almost got ran over by a driver leaving the roundabout yesterday, trying to accelerate past my legal right of way, I could have handled that better for my own safety, even if I wasn't in the wrong.
      Though cyclists are definitely some of the most reckless and disregarding people on the road, often more concerned with their phones and ear plugs than paying attention to the road. Most aggression I find are from motorists not getting their illegal way.

    I like your videos. They're unique! Also, they show how things 'SHOULD' be done everywhere. I wish all drivers in North America would move over for police and ambulances as they do in Europe and obey traffic laws as much!!!
    Here in Ottawa, several years ago the idiots at the police decided to shut down the traffic unit, meaning no one was assigned to do traffic stops. Well, people knew about this and many officers here don't like doing traffic stops (I witnessed one officer ignore a very late red light runner, a very aggressive, speeding pickup and a panhandler roller skating through moving traffic. The officer was not on the way to a call since I watched him meandering around the neighbourhood!)
    Part of the problem is the paperwork they have to do. First, they have to fill out, on their in-car computers, a provincial offence form and then an Ottawa Police form. Their computers DO NOT autofill the second form! I wish the would have a scanner system like shown on "Fridays With Frank!" He timed a simple traffic stop he made, with a ticket issued, and it took him only 8 minutes from the time he stopped to the time he got back in his vehicle after handing the driver a ticket!
    It's getting ridiculous here. I live in a residential area where there are many young children. Constantly drivers (and bicycles) aren't stopping at STOP signs! Some barely slow down at all, even where their view of cross traffic is blocked!!!
    Right turns on red are legal here, unless otherwise posted; however, one is required to stop first. That rarely happens now. I always watch that I'm not about to be rear-ended when I stop at STOP signs and red lights.
    Another problem with Ottawa drivers is that 'everyone' drives differently so one doesn't know what to expect!!!

    bump in the road....
    Well, just try the A15 from Tiel to Pijnacker.
    At 84.3 you do not have a bump. You have a launching pad.
    In fact, all the way from Tiel to Delfgauw the A15 has humps and bumps.
    And if you travel in a heavy loaded truck, you seriously get launched towards the ceiling by some of em.
    And at the end where the A15 meets the A16, the left lanes, there is a viaduct and those humps and bumps over there are seriously crazy.
    I am seriously wondering how it can be that those speed bumps in the middle of a motorway, no warning signs what so ever, have not caused more casualties.
    Motor bike riders.
    If you expect flat surface but there is this speed bump which you did not expect to be there..... isn't that kinda dangerous?
    So i do not understand why these ridiculous speed bumps in the A15 motorway have not been flattened out.
    I mean, sure, the N11 has bumps.
    But just try the A15 from Tiel to Delfgauw.
    It is ridiculous for the standards we expect.
    And in my opinion dangerous to those who ride motor bikes.

      It is nice to see the collective work. Makes me remember when I as a paramedic worked together with police or another ambulances crew, if police wasn't at the scene from the beginning. Where I worked, we had two possible roads to the nearest emergency hospital. When we knew it would be necessary we called 911 from the ambulance i.e. the driver of the ambulance called, asking them to hold the bridge, 911 called the bridge operators red phone (only used for this task) asking him or her to hold the bridge. Sometimes if we were to close and it was not possible we received that information and could choose the other bridge instead. Memory lane... ❤

    • @weeardguy
      @weeardguy 21 день назад

      Usually every emergency is also broadcast by C2000 to bridgecontrollers. The C2000 network, the emergency services communication network, can be publicly monitored. It than lists something like 'BW 01432 (which is the fire department vehicle in question turning out) BR Industrie (Industrial fire) and than a name or adress (which they tend to keep hidden these days because of privacy). Directly after, a message for that same fire-call goes out, listing bridges and their accompanying controllers for as far possibly affected by the current emergency: 'BW 01432 Hoornsebrug, Sluisbrug, Kooimanbrug, Wheermolenbrug, Beemsterbrug, Jan Blankenbrug' . The city where I live has these bridges and they sit close to eachother (all in about a 950 meter radius), reason why they are usually listed all at every emergency. This lets the bridge controller know that he either can not open the bridge until further notice or has to close it as soon as possible.
      Unfortunately, the C2000-network is known for reception-problems and bad coverage. This must have gone unnoticed, although it is weird that a planned transport still ends up at an opened bridge.

    Voor degenen die Nederlsnds spreken hieronder "For the people that speaking Dutch and know more pure specific details about 2 hospitals in Leiden and one Leiderdorp. They could be much faster if they went via Woubrugge trough the Flat Lands to Alrijne Hospital. This was easily possible within 15 minutes on a clear road."
    Voor degenen die Nederlands spreken en Leiden en routes beter kennen. Waarom is de ambulance niet naar Alrijne in Leiderdorp gegaan via woubrugge. Dat is een heel stuk kortere route waar je nergens in stadsverkeer komt. Als je snel rijdt kun je daar in een kwartier zijn. Veel sneller dan helemaal naar de N11 naar het drukste deel centrum Leiden te moeten rijden. LUMC is specialistischer, maar als het zo kritisch is, wat heeft Alrijne Leiderdorp niet wat het LUMC wel heeft?

      Sterker nog, een van de specialismen die het LUMC in huis heeft is het hart long centrum. Alles wat levensbedreigend is gaat zo’n beetje naar het LUMC. Het Alrijne (ouwe Rijnland) heeft gewoon niet de juiste kennis en middelen. (Heb in een ver verleden nog een maatschappelijke stage gelopen op de hart long afdeling)

    • @LennardA320
      @LennardA320 14 дней назад

      @@HvV8446 Ja klopt helemaal wat je vertelt dat het LUMC veel meer gespecialiseerd is. Als het om een incident gaat waar iemand acuut hele specialistische zorg nodig heeft dan snap ik dat ze naar het LUMC rijden. Maar niet elke ambulance krijgt zo'n escorte wat mij de indruk geeft dat hier tijd een grote rol speelt waar iedere seconde telt, dat een ambulance zonder er misschien 10 munten langer over doet.
      Daarom vraag ik mij af als het echt op de minuut aankomt en de patiënt zien der ogen achteruit gaat, zou je dan niet kiezen om diegene eerst zo goed mogelijk te stabiliseren bij het ziekenhuis die het dichtste bij is. Van ter aar rij je gemakkelijk via Woubrugge en een stukje platteland zo Leiderdorp binnen en vrij snel je al bij 't Alrijne aankomt zonder door een hele stad te navigeren. Dus daar zat mijn vraag een beetje.
      Zou Alrijne Leiderdorp beter geweest zijn als het om tijd ging of moest het hoe dan ook de meer gespecialiseerde LUMC zijn met de juiste doktoren als er bijv direct een levensreddende operatie uitgevoerd zou moeten worden. Zou die extra tijd dan niet dermate een grote rol gespeeld hebben.
      Ben zelf december net paar weken nadat ik 30 geworden was zelf op een vrijdag middag met last rechtsachter uiteindelijk na bloedafname en verhoogde waarden 's avonds op de spoedeisende hulp geweest met een longinfarct. Uiteindelijk naar huis gestuurd. M'n bed in, heb wat uren geslapen en werd wakker en bij de allereerste beweging was het alsof je 2 lange steekmessen in m'n zij en rechtsachter waar het onderste dele van de long zit, gestoken werd. En elke keer dat ik probeerde adem te halen ze er dieper in gingen. Ik kon alleen maar wat naar lucht happen waar mijn saturatie omlaag schoot. Door onderliggend lijden heb ik oxycodon dus een hele strip ingenomen en ben uiteindelijk met de ambulance einde vd nacht naar Leiderdorp vervoerd en had dus ook nog een longontsteking daar bovenop opgelopen. Dus gevoel van stikken is niet grappig.
      Jammer dat Alphen a/d Rijn dat na de Fusie 115K inwoners telt nieteens een spoedpost heeft. Maarja zo ver ik weet is wat ze doen meerbpolikliniek overdag en kleine ingrepen. Ze hebben geen CT-scan om MRI die vaak worden ingezet om letterlijk je lichaam in beeld te krijgen

    • @LennardA320
      @LennardA320 14 дней назад

      @annemarie9602 I totally agree. However if there is a police escorte for the ambulance it means there is no time to lose. So do you prefer the more close and easy to reach hospital in pure need. Or you go the extra miles trough the city to go to the more specialistic university hospital if you need an acute surgery with special equipment and doctors.

      But the police DID NOT do it successfully, it was up to some useless clown in their "command centre" to make sure that bridge was down and it WAS NOT, so it wasn't done successfully, as the narrator said, "We have lost precious time". Given that we were not informed of the patients outcome, it CANNOT be described as successful or not, but it most certainly was NOT "a great and wonderful job" as you stated.

    There are many aspects to be considered with the use of a Helicopter.
    Availability of Helicopter.
    Distance of Helicopter from patient
    Weather
    Patient injury and condition
    One aspect of the Helicopter not being used on this case could have been the time to have the Helicopter reach the scene. This may have also included the time to have the patient transported by Ambulance to a nearby field or sportsground etc to be transfered to the Helicopter, if there was not a safe landing area near by.
    By the time all of this had occured the patient could possibly have reached Hospital by Ambulance.
    With cases of trauma such as a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) or an Industrial Accident it may take an extended time to extricate the casualty and prepare them for flight which could negate the time for the Helicopter to arrive on scene.
