Communication How it should work. Contact ski patrol dispatcher – we have 3 ways Using ski patrol radio to “Ski Patrol Dispatcher” Cell to Dave Childs 413 464 4056 (Patrol Director) How things will work Ask for “ski patrol dispatch” be sure to tell him who you are. Describe the nature of the injury (“23 year old male with an injured knee”) Describe the location (such as “I am on the big bend near letter C”) Dispatch we will then repeat the information and log it The patrollers at the summit will announce they will be sending a toboggan to the location Dispatch will then notify the ambulance and fire services (fire services will be next to ski patrol dispatch) Dispatch will notify the timing crew of the problem Dispatch will notify the race director of the problem Ambulance and fire services can then dispatch their resources (EMTs, ambulance, helicopters, etc) If the patrol feels it necessary to temporarily suspend the race – contact the dispatch Dispatch can then contact timing and have them stop sending people until further notice If DCR needs to be contacted Contact dispatch and they can talk to fire services and they can pass the traffic Or call DCR directly on a cell phone

Preparation for the Race The Climb

• Be prepared to walk up or skin up the mountain. Average time to climb to the summit is 2 hrs. • Snowmobile rides will be available. Take one if you want to. • The hike up is beautiful!! Do it!!! • If you hike up:

o You should start feeling cool or even cold. o If you feel like you are getting sweaty, stop and drop a layer. o If you get wet on the way up you will be cold and damp all day. o Bring an extra shirt to change into if need be. o Be prepared to stand out in the cold! o If climbing up the thunderbolt trail stay to the edge!

Clothing Recommendations

• Light weight poly or wool top – this is all you typically need for the climb up • Tights for bottoms work well. • Ski pants that have side zips – zips are critical if they are insulated. Unzip the top of the pant when

climbing • Insulating top layer or 2 for the summit • Water proof and wind proof layer to go over your insulation. • I like a using glove liners for the climb • Heavy gloves or mittens for the top. Hand warmers are a good idea if you are standing around

outside • Ski boots should be loose fitting when standing around and climbing – liners should be dry before

you start the day • I go with a lighter weight sock – this gives me more room in the boot – resulting in warmer feet • If standing around – warmer to stay on your skis – or stand on a blanket or closed cell foam pad • I don’t like skiing with big boots on my back so I hike in telemark boots • It is a good idea to have a neck gator or balaclava with you • Sun glasses or goggles would be a good idea

The summit is windy and is often 5 to 10 degrees cooler than the base area. Limit your exposure to the wind. Do not stand around after you climb up – change right away!!! You can take pictures after you change your clothing.


11

Preparation for the Race Food

• Bring food with you • Bring water with you

o Wide mouth Nalgene works best in the cold - pack it upside down • I like using a camelback with a valve on the end of the tube. The keeps it from leaking in your pack.

o Bladders work if they do not freeze – blow water back after drinking • Cliff bars work well. If they get cold they get hard. They are good for the climb up. • Bread and cheese and some sausage or something like that are real nice. Good for lunch. • If you blow back into the tube after drinking out of it you may able to keep tube from freezing. • Keeping the tube in your pack and next to your back will help a lot when the temp is below 20F. • Breakfast provided by Old Forge at the Roost – get there early! • Post race party – you are welcome to join us – catered by Old Forge at the PNA - $15 a good deal

Pack

• I would recommend a back pack • Pack should be large enough to take your clothing, food, and first aid supplies • Take a look at the first aid pack sheet for recommendations

Radio

• Bring a 2 way radio. o If you can program your radio with the patrol frequency

• Use cell phones if you do not have a radio


12

Your Job You Job

• You are ski patrol. • Your first responsibility is taking care of yourself • Your second responsibility is care of fellow rescuers • Your third responsibility is the care of an injured person • Walk up to the starting area – check the Time Line page for exact patrol check in time. • Eat something • Pick up bag of goodies • Pick up radio if available – we should have them assigned. • Put your name in the logbook and sign out radio in comment area. • Be ready to head up the hill at 8:00 AM be at your location before 11:00AM • We will have a meeting somewhere near the check in area on the day of the race • Steve will give you your positions on the hill - if you do not already know • We will send all of the patrollers up that hill first thing. • I anticipate 30 to 40 patrollers showing up and ready to handle the assigned tasks • We put about 5 to 10 or more people at the summit to run sleds • We will put a number of patrollers at the 4 corners (Bellows, Tbolt) • 1 or more patrollers will monitor the climbing route • 1 or more patrollers at the finish line • 1 or more patrollers at the base area • Once you leave your location there is no one to fill in for you • Go back to your location once your are done providing care • Patrollers at the top must feel 100 percent confident in hauling a toboggan • We may not have radios for all the patrollers at summit • Patrollers along the edge of the trail will not necessarily need to be able to run a sled • We will do what we can to give radios to patrollers along trail edges • Use a cell phone if all else fails (call patrol director or dispatch) • Patrol will sweep trail at end of day. Remove equipment on trail as you go.

Toboggan and trauma Bags

• All sleds will be equipped with back board, straps, C collar, cardboard splints (leg and arm), blanket, triangular bandage, and tarp.

• I don’t think we will have a proper bag to put all this in so you will need to use some caution unpacking

• I think we will use a garbage bag to store the supplies • I hope to have 6 toboggans setup • 3 to 4 will be at the summit • 1 will be at the top of the big bend and if available 1 at the top of the schuss. • We will need to make every effort to repack and get the toboggans back to the summit ASAP. • Additional supplies to repack the toboggans will be at the base area. • We will have 2 to 3 trauma bags – O2, traction splint if available, etc – they will be at the summit.

Tail roper will carry the bag if needed.


13

How Things Will Work on Race Day Protocol

• Use yellow cards to warn skiers that there is an injury below you • Look at for spotters and other patrollers holding yellow cards out below you • Any life threatening injury takes priority over the event. • Halt the race if necessary. You will need to communicate this over the radio. Do not go into detail

over the radio. • Know approximately where the helicopter LZ is (it is near to Roost in the field) • You will hand off your patient to the Cheshire Fire department at the Bellows Pipe Thunderbolt

intersection or the Lanesboro Fire Department at the finish line. • The patient will be moved by the fire departments to the ambulance that will be near the Roost • We will need to record patient name, race number, and injury as a minimum. We may need to pass

this info on to someone looking for them. • We will sweep the super highway and the thunderbolt after the race. We will not officially sweep

other trials. We need to take note of spotters and spectators on the way down. • Patrollers along edge of trail will identify injury first, radio back what they have. We will need to

know if you need O2 • Alcohol issues needs to be reported to the police (only if you think it is a problem) • Destruction of state property or snowmobile accidents need to be reported to DCR • Race related issues need to be reported to the race director. • Avoid use of patient names over the radio unless necessary • State the nature of the injury, age, gender, and location. • When working on a patient move them to the side of the trail as soon as you can safely do so. • Use spotters to help direct race traffic around you if necessary • Spotters should have bib on • You should have a patrol coat on – it should have a cross on it. You need to be easy to identify • Spotters may have a whistle. If they have an injury they will blow the whistle. Look for the spotter,

and respond. Spotters should have yellow card to act as warning of injury. Trail information

• Trail will be broken down into letters. A letter should be visible from any point along the trail. • The trail in also broken down into larger named sections, Big Bend, Steps, Needle Eye, Big Schuss,

Bumps (Become familiar with these names and locations) • Try to know where you are when you report an injury. • It would be helpful if you identify the location by both name and letter. • The race course is well marked – try to note where you are if you are standing at the edge of the trail.

Parking

• A shuttle bus will run from the Meehan Parking lot on Hoosac St. in Adams to the Glen all day long. The ride is free of charge. Please see the map for additional locations for parking and shuttle pick locations.

• The Meehan lot will be staffed by local Boy Scouts from 7 AM until the end of the race day. • If you get there EARLY you can park on one side of Gould Rd. Once parking is filled you will not

be allowed to dive up this road. The road must be kept open for the ambulance and fire services.

Helicopter Berkshire Medical Center is a trauma 3 center. If you know you have significant trauma that will likely require neurological surgery If you have a pediatric with significant trauma Consider contacting dispatch and asking for a helicopter Do this early – we would prefer to send them back then not have them when we need them Flight time from Albany is about 20 min The LZ

• Mark corners with weighted cones (must not blow away!!!)

• Never shine light towards aircraft • If using head lights to mark LZ be prepared to

shut them off at pilots request • Once LifeFlight is called incident command

will establish LZ officer • LZ should be flat level ground (no more than

5 degrees of slope • No loose debris • Chin straps should be put on if helmets or hats

are used near LZ • Radio communication will be established just

prior to helicopter landing • Any hazards should be communicated (wires,

poles etc) • Helicopter will likely circle before landing • “LifeFlight – STOP” will result in pilot aborting landing

Any questions concerning LZ preparation or safety should be directed to the Communication Center at (800) 343-4354. Helicopter Safety

• The most important function of the LZ officer is to maintain security and safety • Do not approach the aircraft unless directed by flight crew • All personnel should remain outside the diameter of the rotor blades at all times unless directed or

accompanied by a flight crew member • Never approach a helicopter from the rear of the aircraft. Always approach and depart from the front

of the aircraft and only when signaled by the pilot to do so • Do not allow unauthorized personnel within 200 feet of the aircraft • Keep vehicles at least 100 feet away from the aircraft • No smoking within 100 feet of the aircraft • Remember, helicopter safety is nothing more than good common sense. All movement around the

helicopter should remain unrushed

APPENDIX J: AIR MEDICAL TRANSPORT PROTOCOLS Introduction: The use of air medical services has become the standard of care for many critically ill or injured patients who require transport to specialized medical facilities such as Trauma Centers. The purpose of these Guidelines is to establish a clinical framework for prehospital EMS personnel upon which to make decisions regarding when to access air medical support services. The following constitute the philosophical foundation for these Guidelines.

• EMS personnel should consider requesting ground advanced life support (ALS) and air medical support when operational conditions listed below exist and the following patient conditions are present;

• Patients with an uncontrolled or compromised airway should be brought to the nearest appropriate facility unless

advanced life support (ALS) service (by ground or air) can intercept in a more timely fashion; and:

• Patients in cardiac arrest subsequent to blunt trauma should be taken to the nearest facility. These guidelines have been established so that air medical support does not require prior Medical Control approval. However, Medical Control contact should be considered whenever appropriate for patient management issues. OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS: 1. When a patient meets patient criteria defined below and scene arrival time to estimated arrival time at the nearest

appropriate hospital, including extrication time, exceeds 20 minutes: 2. Patient location, weather or road conditions preclude the use of standard ground ambulance; or 3. Multiple casualties / patients are present which will exceed the capabilities of local hospital and agencies. PATIENT CONDITIONS: 1. Physiologic Criteria:

a. Unstable Vital Signs -Blood Pressure less than 90. -Respiratory Rate greater than 30 or less than 10. 2. Anatomic Injury: a. Evidence of Spinal Cord injury including paralysis or paresthesia. b. Severe Blunt Trauma: -head injury (Glasgow Coma Scale of twelve [12] or less) -severe chest or abdominal injury. -severe pelvic injury excluding simple hip fractures. c. Burns:

- greater than 20% Body Surface Area (BSA) second or third degree burns; - evidence of airway or facial burns; - circumferential extremity burns; or - burns associated with trauma. d. Penetrating injuries of head, neck, chest, abdomen or groin.


17

APPENDIX J: AIR MEDICAL TRANSPORT PROTOCOLS (Cont.) e. Amputations of extremities, excluding digits.

Special Conditions: The following should be considered in deciding whether to request air medical transport, but are not automatic or absolute criteria: 1. Mechanism of Injury

a. Motor Vehicle Crash: -patient ejected from vehicle. -death in same passenger compartment. b. Pedestrian struck by a vehicle and thrown more than 15 feet, or

run over by a vehicle. 2. Significant Medical History

a. Age greater than 55 or less than 10. b. Significant coexistent illness.

c. Pregnancy.

Patroller Location Information 2014

TOBOGGAN CREW: We have 4 to 6 tobos and 6 to 8 members on the crew. 2 to 4 tobos will be stationed at the summit and 2 on the trail. If your ski area provided a toboggan, you should drive it. TRAIL PATROL CREW: You're locations are marked by letters stapled to trees along the course. Try to find a spot where you have the best line of sight up and down the trail well out of the path of the racers. There are a few locations where the next patroller will be within your line of sight but most are not. (The uphill side – do not stand in the slide path – racers fall!) Note: There may be prearranged plans for someone pulling a toboggan to pick up a tail roper along the way. Racing patrollers will proceed to their stations after their run via snowmobile or hiking. There will be spotters along the course to assist in keeping the trail clear of spectators, etc. Take note of who your uphill patrol neighbor is (next station uphill) that's who you'll be calling for skilled assistance in the event of an accident.
