Instructed by:Chelsea Sibold, Flight Nurse, Carilion Clinic Life-GuardMiranda Landrum, Critical Care Operations Manager, Carilion Clinic Life-GuardCarilion Clinic Life-Guard developed a new training program geared toward first responders that will help the flight crew in the case of an aircraft emergency. First responders have always been close partners with the flight crew in safety, but they often lack hands-on training with aircraft-related emergencies and how to assist the flight crew in the event of a crash. Thus, HEAT training was born. HEAT stands for Helicopter Emergency Accident Training. This workshop will cover the background and logistics of setting up this kind of training and will also take attendees through the practical set up including creating a smoke-filled aircraft and performing rapid crew extrication for high-fidelity training. The presenters will also be available post-conference via email/TEAMS/Zoom/etc. to support attendees in establishing their own HEAT program at their agency.
