Station 19's Medic One | REAL or FAKE?

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Have you ever wondered how often ambulances crash? We break it down in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmO1ZIp9ebKHeKs

[@funawesome2006]

I watch that video

[@michaelarkalis6172]

Here in Melbourne we have a mobile stroke unit that is staffed by 2 paramedics, radiologist, neurologist, and 2 CCRNs its a beast of a truck

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

10:50 that's why 99% of all ALS Emergency Ambulances in Germany have their stretcher on a stretcher platform: the platform can lift the stretcher and patient up in the air, either it's leveled or I can lift head / foot section only. Makes it easier to intubate but the actual purpose is that it comes with suspension to counteract the movement coming from a rough street surface when the patient has pain or is critical. It provides a smoother ride with the bouncy suspension doing its thing

[@HeroesNextDoor]

That’s awesome! Who builds that?

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@HeroesNextDoor for example the ambulance manufacturer "Wietmarscher Ambulanz- und Sonderfahrzeug Gmbh", short WAS (translates as Wietmarscher Ambulance and Special Purpose Vehicle Ltd). Here's a video of their stretcher platform: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn67hnqmbsapjpY Lifted or tilted, with suspension for smooth ride, locked position for CPR and sideway movement if you need more space on the one or other side of the patient

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@HeroesNextDoor however, not only WAS makes them. Also other German ambulance manufacturers make their versions of the stretcher platforms. Some brands to be named are Hospimobil, Fahrtec, Strobel, Ambulanzmobile. Some of the stretcher platforms also have dual use capabilities. Thus we had one (not able to lift or move sideways) which usually had a standard Stryker M1 loaded for the normal kind of patient, but the same platform was also able to secure an oversize bariatric EMS bed designed for patients of up to 1,100 lbs / 500 kg. Not common though; having a platform which is able to lift, hover, tilt and move sideways is pretty much the standard in most ambulances

[@simaruhawke922]

@@HeroesNextDoor Most of the manufacturers had problems with electric/hydraulic stretchers, but "Hoverbord" and "STEM" are providing suspended and adjustable bases for almost all available stretchers right now. It's great because most of the surgical emergencys like broken limbs might even be transported with less painkillers because you are not getting every bump from the road transferred to your body.

What a great presentation. With regards to seating, our Mercedes Sprinter ambulances in Australia basically have three seats. The main one we call the patient care seat. That's where you sit most of the time when treating. You're forward facing, just to the left of the stretcher. With a seatbelt on you can still cannulate, apply an O2 mask, grab most consumables etc. The cardiac monitor is directly in front of you. Behind the head end is another seat for IPPV/IPPB etc., The patient care seat can move forward or back and pivot as needed. One consideration with the "future of ambulances" is the service provided. Here in Australia apart from the normal critical and urgent patients going off to hospital, we also deal with the non urgent jobs (simple linb fractures, lacerations, poo pain, minor burns and ailments). Our aim with these patients is to not take them to an emergency department, but rather treat on scene/at home or transport to the local GP. Why transport a patient with a deep foot laceration to an ER when you can suture the wound, give a tetanus shot if need be and administer ABs? Ultrasounds, REBOA, stroke unit ambulances, are common here. But here's the big difference between US and Australian EMS; ours are state government owned, and so pretty flush with funding. Training isn't a financial restraint, and we don't lose money if we don't transport.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

98% of all ALS Emergency Ambulances in Germany are based on the Sprinter as well. The oney in my state have a uniform layout no matter where in the state they are used at (urban or rural, flatlands or mountain ranges). They all have 3 seats in the back, with one seat on each side of the stretcher and a 3rd seat at head position. A lot of bs is transported to the ER, however if possible and sufficient we'll advice patients to go to their GP, or on weekends and at nighttime we'll call in a mobile GP service to meet them at home instead of us bringing them to the ER for minor stuff. While it's usually just 1 or 2 units on a medical call, it might also happen than 4 to 6 EMS units are on scene of a medical call. Depends on the location and reported situation

[@coover65]

@@EnjoyFirefighting Germany has a very good EMS network. Having EMS crews being able to assess and advise alternatives to an ER visit where appropriate is crucial If an organisation is going to manage a hospital system. I saw a video from Florida where a patient had a fish hook in his finger. Four firefighters turned up who then called for an ambulance to take him to hospital! Ridiculous waste of resources.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@coover65 I work in an area which goes from urban to suburban to rural right outside our state's capital city. It's quite common that we have 4 EMS units on scene of critical conditions, but most I had in a public place was 6 units for a delivery: 2 FD First Responder Cars, ALS Emergency Ambulance, Emergency Doctor Car, Children Emergency Doctor Car and Newborn Doctor Ambulance. With the capital city's airport being in our response area we have some interesting response models there as well, every potentially critical patient will see 2 ALS Emergency Ambulances and 2 Emergency Doctor Cars responding, besides Federal Police Department, Airport FD and Airport Security in case it's within the security zone like in an aircraft at a gate. Personally I try to find the most appropriate and necessary solution for both the patient and relatives on scene. Our primary response area is roughly halfways between smaller county hospitals and hospitals of higher level or treatment and care in the city

[@johnarat9618]

@HeroesNextDoor 'Medic One" is the name of the ALS program for Kings County, Washington. You can see it on the sides of some ambulances in irl Seattle Fire Department ambulances. BLS SFD ambos are called Aid Cars. The term for an ALS SFD ambulance is Medic.

[@robgustafson8589]

Check out the GO team in Maryland. Ems providers can request it and the Maryland State Police helicopters bring a small team of surgeons to a scene for field surgery, like amputations.

[@sminem6572]

I feel like the only realistic use case would be an extremely rural department where the nearest emergency room/trauma center is an hour or more away. Even then, helicopters remedy that issue. So I'm not sure if something like this will ever exist IRL. Could be a interesting concept though if they are able to make it a sterile environment (maybe a tiny area you enter to sterilize before entering the actual operating room?).

[@jakedovey7488]

In the UK the basics and merit teams perform this role alongside the air ambulance, the HART teams can also provide some extended care capabilities!

[@simaruhawke922]

Hey Man, I hope you read this. I am a paramedic and med student from Germany. Here, we have mobile Stroke Units with CT-Scan-capability and we are even field testing mobile surgery (although the Brits with their London based helicopter with clamshell thoracotomy were first). For example, based in Heidelberg we have the "MIC", Medical Intervention Car, able of providing ECMO on scene or even Clamshellthoracotomy. Probably a second MIC might be created soon in southwest Germany. So, either on scene surgery or complicated xray-diagnostics, both is possible.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Dude this sounds awesome! We have a mobile CT scanner already in service in an area around us. We have not considered mobile surgery other that gross field amputations. I hope all goes well with your service

[@cameronallan5624]

London's air ambulance is probably at the forefront of all pre-hospital care in the world. Or at least i know they were a couple years ago.

[@cliffordbanes851]

Local procedures here are to do all intubations outside the truck - mainly from a 360˚ patient access point of view, but would solve your stretcher height issue as well.

Regarding the issue of remaining sterile...I don’t think that’s such a hard one to overcome. Air ambulance services in the U.K. perform open thoracotomy and reboa in the field, usually on a trolley bed in a car park or petrol station somewhere. I suppose if you are talking about surgery in the 911/999 context it goes back to old adage that nothing can be kept sterile here but we can do what we can to be aseptic.

Every fire department in the county provides BLS service, while 6 agencies (some fire departments, like Seattle and Bellevue, and some dedicated EMS agencies like KCMO or Evergreen) provide ALS service. Combined with citizen responders and 911 PSAPs, and you have the Medic One system. Nothing like the PRT exists in the PNW, much less in Seattle. The closest thing to it is UW Medicine's Airlift Northwest, which does have a lot of the features of the PRT but, y'know, can fly. Incidentally both it and Medic One were founded by Dr. Michael Copass, who is behind a lot of the innovation that still makes Seattle a leader in paramedical care.

Take a look at the upcoming mobile ECMO units in NM and a few other locations. While this may be extreme, but there are some interesting pilot projects in place today. And ultrasound is already here. Now as for full surgical capabilities, unlikely. But limited interventions like REBOA, Partial PEBOA, on site field amputations, ECMO, and blood product admin are all already in place in smaller programs elsewhere in the US and world, so combining them is is actually more cost-effective. You are right about staffing, but as I mentioned several programs are already solving this for mobile prehospital ECMO. The teams at Vanderbilt recently speculated a team of a ED physican/intensivist, a masters level practitioner (RN, perfusionist, PA, or even masters prepared paramedic hopefully someday) plus a standard critical care team. So if we look at Rogers early adoption/innovation curve, this is in the early innovation phase.

[@Vikingza]

Good day, I would love to see a first responders version of ways which when activated for a priority call, it gives you the most fasted direct routing, it detours the normal users away from your route to make your response easier and also alerts users ahead of you that an emergency response vehicle is approaching from the rear and to give way to them. I feel the CT Van's are a good idea for remote small clinics or community hospitals who need CT services but don't have enough patients needing a CT per month to justify the cost, but not for the road, it will be faster to package and move your patient to hospital either by road or hems than to wait for the CT vehicle and then scan and then transport to Hospital.

[@coover65]

In Australia we have community health clinic trucks (semi trailers towing a mobile clinic) of different types. There are breast screening clinics, prenatal, dental, general health mobile clinics that travel to small remote towns that don't have a clinic or hospital and set up either in the shopping centre car park or somewhere convenient. Quite often they're driven by staff who'll set it all up, while the nurse, dentist, specialist etc. will fly in on the days needed. They tend to stay for 2-7 days in any one place.

The crew is made up of 1 nurse, 1 CT Scan technician, 1 medic, 1 EMT, and they have a direct live feed camera so they can talk to a doctor from the hospital. I have been on a 911 stroke call and we were already on scene and then the Stroke Unit arrived and we transferred the patient from our stretcher to theirs and then after cat-scanning the patient they transported the patient themselves to the hospital.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

That is awesome. One question I have is how does the billing work for the transport? Does your service get paid even though you did not transport?

[@maxM38383]

@@HeroesNextDoor I'm in a Volunteer agency so billing isn't as big a deal but we still do bill for most things. In this case we were on scene long enough to get the patients insurance and billing info and when we don't transport the patient ourselves we only bill for any consumable items/medications or any equipment that was used and then in our PCR we just write that patient care was transferred to the Mobile Stroke Unit and they transported the patient.

While I do see a useful purpose in a rig like this, the implementation is another matter. The metro areas with the budget don't really have a need, and the rural areas that need this don't have the budget. I can't speak to the nature of a TV show, and the idea of having an ECMO in a mobile unit strikes me as absurd. As to the practicality of a mobile surgical unit, the military have employed a similar concept for decades. The Battalion Aid Station provides the capability to employ invasive life saving procedures that, left undone, result in death. The station isn't on wheels, but it travels with the battalion and is minutes away from the site of conflict.

Station 19 is an absolutely terrible show.

After last night's episode referring another "current event" I am done with St.19. For me, I watch this to entertain, get relaxed from today's nightmares ( not covid related) Too much police bashing. Too much stirring up political issues. Is there a social issue in reality ? Yes ,but that's already on the media of many platforms. That's where it needs to stay. Not needed in the entertainment industry. The news can and is a stresser .TV should stay in their lane and entertain. You want real news read Facebook NOT!
