Davis) KT ambulance trains for mass casualties | By SCOTT A. DAVIS Post Staff Airplane crashes, bus acci- dents, mass shootings, toxic fires; all of these events are in the headlines every day. Each in- volves the potential of multiple — injuries and deaths. What would happen if a disaster struck the Back Mountain? Members of Kingston Township ambulance asked themselves that question last week. Members of the volunteer am- bulance company meet Sunday evening for a training session in Triage, the sorting out of numer- ous casualties by severity for treatment. Kingston Township ambulance member and Registered Nurse Diane Beisel, Shavertown, in- structed the session. “Any kind of accident could happen, bus ° accidents, explosion of hazard- ous material. We have to be prepared,” Beisel said. At the session, the ambulance members learned how to ap- proach a disaster site, how to sort casualties, how to organize operations, and what to do after the disaster operation concludes. “If you are called to a situation you think has mass casualties, first call for help (from other com- panies),” she explained to the members. “You can always can- cel them if they are not needed.” She explained how tags are used to sort the wounded and dead by priority. First priority injuries include patients who have suffered a witnessed car- diac arrest, serious breathing problems, uncontrolled bleeding, certain burns, and people who have severe medical problems such as a heart attack. Second priority injuries in- clude patients with other severe burns, spinal injuries, moderate bleeding, and conscious patients with head injuries. Third priority are for patients with minor or non-emergent in- juries, except for obviously mor- tally wounded where death ap- pears reasonably certain. Fourth priority involves the obvious dead. 3 bb kk Ob ok Property transfers Property transfers recorded at Luzerne County Court House from July 21, 1989 to July 26, 1989.

The ambulance members learned not to drive the ambu- lance right up to the scene of a disaster. Beisel explained the ambulance should be parked away from the scene until they can be certain it is safe to go closer. “A dead ambulance at- tendant is no help to anyone,” she warns. The members learned how to set up a command post, how to work with other responding units, and to critique the disas- ter's handling after it is over. “Every disaster should be fol- lowed by a critique. This way, you can see what was done wrong and how to to it right the next time,” Beisel said. “But remem- ber, it is better to do something wrong than not to do anything at all,” she told the members. She explained why the dead and dying are treated last in a disaster. According to her, some- one who can be saved should be saved. Those who are going to die, can not be saved.
