This training scenario has been automatically assigned 2 random dynamic events to enhance the realism and unpredictability of the exercise. These events are designed to simulate real-life challenges. If you’d like to generate 2 new events, Refresh this page. | ||
Introduction | ||
A vehicle has rolled over, landing upside down on a rural road. The driver is conscious but unable to exit the vehicle. The crew must stabilise the overturned vehicle, carefully access the patient, and safely extract them without causing further injury. Cones can be used to simulate road hazards or uneven terrain, and the crew will practice proper stabilisation, glass management, and patient handling techniques. Full PPE, stabilisation tools, and hydraulic cutting tools will be required. | ||
Objective(s) | ||
To stabilise an overturned vehicle and safely extricate the driver trapped inside. | ||
Learning Objectives | ||
Use stabilisation equipment to secure an overturned vehicle. | ||
Dynamic Events | ||
Tool Failure A hydraulic cutting tool malfunctions or fails during a critical moment of the extrication. The team must quickly switch to backup tools or manual methods, such as hand tools or alternative cutting equipment, while keeping the patient calm. Tool Battery Failure In the middle of a critical extrication, the battery of a key power tool (such as a battery-operated cutter or spreader) dies unexpectedly. The crew must quickly swap the battery for a charged one or switch to an alternate tool to continue the operation without losing momentum. | ||
Debrief | ||
Conduct a review at the end of the scenario. Discuss “What went well” and “What could be improved”. Be constructive and supportive – it’s not about blame, it’s about building people up and improving their skills. |
