On this week’s episode of Ambulance Australia, we meet emergency personnel at Queensland Ambulance Service, each at different stages of their career, all driven to save lives.
From a trainee call taker learning to take her first Triple Zero (000) calls, to specialist Critical Care Paramedic, Tash, from the High Acuity Response Unit faced with a difficult decision to try and save a woman’s life after a head-on collision.
The patient is severely trapped – should Tash risk further injury to the patient by removing her from the car quickly, or continue to carefully cut the car open but risk the patient going into cardiac arrest while she is entrapped?
