Retrievals & Transfers
‘On retrievals, no one can hear
you scream’

The Worlds Most Boring Slide: To get it out of the way
• C Cylinder: 440L• D Cylinder: 1600L• E Cylinder 3800L
Vox pop, hear what they are saying on the street
“man, that was so boring”

Transfer & Retrieval
• Why Transfer (& when NOT to) and aim
• Modes of Transport with increasing levels of care
• The Essentials of Patient Preparation: Aim to do nothing en route with some exceptions
• Problems
![Page 5: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Choice of Mode
• Distance (Transit and Transfer)
• Escort requirements
• Geographical considerations
• Availability &
resources
![Page 6: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mode of Transport
![Page 7: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Preparing• Aim to do everything before transport
• Aim to do nothing during transport
• Prepare for all eventualities
• Early advice and communication by site• Early liaison with transport providers• Destination unit
• Empty / Check everything (tubes, lines, relatives, bladders)
• All documentation, investigations
![Page 8: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Barometric Considerations
• Oxygen: PaO2 60mmHg at 5000 ft
• Gas expansion: 1/3 at 5000 ft– ETT cuffs– Entrapped gas in body
• Equipment

RFDS National Priorities (WA figures for 2009/2010)
• Priority 1 (n=557)– Life / limb threatening– “ One for One!” time of call to doors closed <60 mins
• Priority 2 (n=2987)– Urgent– Depart for patient within 4 hrs
• Priority 3 (n=2223)– “Routine” – within 48 hrs– Timeframe can be specified

Poor preparation: Would you be happy to retrieve this ?
![Page 22: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

A solution but a problem prior
![Page 24: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Would you have pushed or objected ?
![Page 25: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
If you would have pushed!
• RFDS has ACEM and Anaesthetic accredited terms
• One term has come up at short notice for next year
• Email [email protected] if interested
• (if you objected, join the radiology training program)

An unstabilizable patient: What priority, 1, 2 or 3 ?
![Page 28: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Do you retrieve this patient?
![Page 29: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The reality: Do you retrieve this patient?

Broad Tasking Criteria
• Skill critical– Skills of RFDS MO/CCP
• Time critical– Time to tertiary hospital
• Access– No road, Rottnest, no airstrip, rescue requirement
• Resources– No fixed wing aircraft or other resources available
• Likely to improve patient outcome

Major incident
• Defined by the need for extraordinary resources (location, number, severity, type of live injuries)– Natural vs. manmade– Simple vs. compound (infrastructure intact vs.
damaged)– Compensated vs. uncompensated (whether
additional resource mobilization sufficient)
![Page 40: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Major Incident: Response based on MIMMS
• 1) Preparation: Planning/equipment/training• 2) Response: All hazards approach ‘CSCATTT’
• Command & Control• Safety: Self, scene, survivors• Communications: METHANE• Assessment• Triage/Treatment/Transport
• 3) Recovery

• REM: Radiation equivalent dose=QF*RAD=Sv• Significant exposure 0.25Sv, LD 50 with
optimum treatment 5Sv

Hospital based response
• Notification• Preparation– Equipment: Incl. disaster kits (green airway, blue
breathing, red circulation bags)– Expand resources– Area
• Receival: Greatest good for the greatest no?• Recovery
![Page 51: Retrieval Medicine and Disaster Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/559b61a31a28ab125f8b4780/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
SCGH• Code Brown– Areawide medical co-ordinator will contact duty
ED consultant• Can request disaster response team• Activation of disaster plan
– Duty ED consultant activates-contacts hospital health co-ordinator who in turn activates the emergency response team and emergency control group (exec group)
– Also Code CBR (prepare PPE, decontaminate)
