Each year, the TSTC EMS program conducts an extrication exercise in which they give first year basic students a platform upon which they can display their proficiency in various skills including triage, MC incident management, placement of traction splints, c-collars, backboards, and oxygen masks and cannulas. In addition, students learn how to take vital signs under stress. This year, I played the part of the bus driver who was suffering a heart attack after a multi-vehicle accident. The exercise is supported by the AFD, Metrocare, AirEvac Lifeteam, and several other 911 response teams from surrounding communities.
