HEMS LONDON - Condition Critical 1/3

Part 1 of 3. The service is featured in the documentary "CONDITION CRITICAL" broadcast in 2000 when the service used an Aerospatiale SA-365 Dauphin helicopter with red branding sponsored by the Virgin group. In October 2000 it was replaced by a MD 902 Explorer helicopter.

Thank you for uploading this

[@EmuFrog]

Ok thank you :D Unfortunately my old trauma VHS' were erased.

[@leegt5]

A&E features the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance !!
Condition Critical what I have uploaded was broadcast on channel 5 in 2000!

[@leegt5]

I could only find this episode after going through my old VHS tapes though Im sure I would have taped the whole series. If I do find the rest I will upload them.. I will soon upload some clips of another series I have found called "The Golden Hour" from the Discovery Channel which features HEMS.

Increased Intracranial pressure I beleive !!
It is the pressure exerted by the cranium on the brain tissue.

[@EmuFrog]

Thank you. Got a bit confused there. Do you have any more episodes of it?

[@Swissair171]

@leegt5 Which is presumably why they use Halon

[@GamingForLifeGFL]

is this youtube channel still active?

[@EmuFrog]

What channel is it aired on as 254 is now Discovery Home and Health. There's one called Critical condition? Thats a seperate one agai I think. As theres no mention of LAA

[@kirked007]

Remember this film was made 13 years ago. So before you are critical. Of the people

I think given her combatitiveness, it may have been more dangerous to transport her by air while conscious.

[@mrbearbear83]

In Ireland, at least in resus we have bougies, but I haven't seen a pre hospital intubation yet so otherwise I'd only be guessing

@digitalis112 Lining of the brain, Pia mater, Dura mater and Arachnoid.

Yes but she had to be RSI for her to travel safely in the helicopter

[@leegt5]

@MrFuwi Think its a Civil Aviation requirement to have fire cover.

[@SpassMacher2000]

@CVBGuatemala minimum is 3. You can't have a GCS below 3.

[@EmuFrog]

What condition critical is on from 5pm? I thought that was A&E! Didnt realise it was the same thing

[@EmuFrog]

[@SpassMacher2000]

does HEMS utilize Flight Nurses or is it strictly Flight Paramedics and Doctors.

[@ce9934]

Strictly HEMS Paramedics from London Ambulance Service and Speciality Registrars+ in Pre-hospital Emergency Medicine

[@polpol571]

@@ce9934 They also take consultant anaesthesiologist

[@robynmcdonald9220]

Not unless are GCS 2T - Where you have been given a T for verbal because you are intubated.
