This is simply a very sobering and unbelievable video. However, you should take away from this video all the positive things that you can learn from it. Yes there are risks to the backcountry - but with proper gear, training, and guide(s) with avalanche and EMT training - you can greatly lower your chances of getting caught in an avalanche in the first place ... and coming back alive if you ever were to get caught in a slide.

Whales Rescue Diver in China

shaniam — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:50:44 GMT

Two beluga whales saved the life of a diver at an aquarium in northeast China on Tuesday. Diver Yang Yun was taking part in a free-diving competition to apply for a whale training job at Polar Land Aquarium in the city of Harbin. But when she was 15 feet down in the icy water, her right leg cramped up. These two beluga whales, a couple named Nicola and Mila who were swimming in the aquarium with Yang, sensed her distress. They moved towards her and helped her to the surface. Yang was one of seven final candidates competing for the job and had been required to dive as deep as possible without any breathing equipment.

ARS_NAR-720x405

narescue01 — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:07:38 GMT

For the upgraded ARS™ for Needle Decompression from North American Rescue, the best minds in the field were applied to the best available data. The result? Our patented design improves the probability of success when managing casualties who present with signs and symptoms of a tension pneumothorax. To achieve this end, we participated in a two-year collaboration with pre-hospital providers. We continuously ***yzed data obtained from ongoing combat operations for patients whose symptoms suggested a collapsed lung (difficulty in breathing, chest drains, etc.). We applied the ***ytical Thinking, Evidence-based Medicine and Human Factors™ engineering model to identify inherent survival stress behaviors. Then, North American Rescue went one step further. We incorporated failsafe characteristics into the product design. For example, an easy-open container protects the needle from damage during deployment. Also, we removed the flash cap from the needle system to allow immediate confirmation of placement.

High Threat Extraction Kit- Introduction

narescue01 — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:29:01 GMT

When a casualty is wounded, it is imperative for operational personnel to have the necessary tools available to take immediate action and extract the casualty to a point of cover... This self-contained kit is designed to provide the tactical operator and rescue personnel with all of the essential tools to quickly and efficiently execute rescue operations in a Care-Under-Fire (CUF) high-threat environment. Time and efficiency are the essential keys in the performance of successful rescues.

Immediate casualty extraction becomes the vital link in casualty survival, since tactical casualty care does not take place in exposed areas. Please visit www.NARescue.com for more information.

CAT® - Introduction and Application

narescue01 — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:27:47 GMT

The C-A-T® is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the C-A-T® completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The C-A-T® utilizes a durable windlass system with a free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A Velcro® strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T®'s unique design avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under combat/survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised. Please visit www.NARescue.com for more information.
