That really bothered me...does that mean he was still conscious when they put the tube in?? I thought they completely anesthetized people before they do that and they are knocked out.
@@HaleiwaGirl808 Whew! Ok, good! I was afraid that the anesthetic hadn't worked yet and he was actually FEELING that. Poor kid. I wish they gave an update about how he was doing.
In the 1960s, my aunt helped develop the paramedic program for Los Angeles County in California USA. I often wonder what she would think of prehospital care in the 21st century.
Who let's their 16 year old epileptic child ride a bike without a helmet.. that's just a disaster waiting to happen. Kudos to the air ambulance crew for their great and fast work.
It's one thing to insist that the child wear a helmet n it's another one that they will wear it. You don't know what goes on when the parents aren't looking. Unless you know the details you don't have the right to criticise.
@@cathybenson5119 true but at 16 they know full well that they have epilepsy and cannot risk head injuries, more so than non epileptics. The slightest knock can trigger a series of seizures which in turn can cause significant issues. At that age they should know better
I would be so glad to see these folks come to my rescue, should I ever need to be!... True Heroes, right there! Huge respect to emergency medical response teams, always ready, wherever you are! You have a fan in me!..
This is so cool I’m a student paramedic and this is the dream here in Australia we have super trained paramedics who can do this scope of practice and interventions so cool
Jane is a real kick. She has a great sense of humor and is a super medic. I don’t know if she realizes it but the camera was on her while she applied her lipstick 💄while in the air ambulance. We’d get along well! Ha! Ha! 😹😹
Who the hell at that school called emergency services of ANY kind, for a child who had scratched their mouth on a lollipop? What the.. I hope they were billed...
Several years ago I spent a year flying with a medevac team documenting their work through art. As with this series, the prehospital teams were all amazing in their proficiency and speed. And like here, humor, especially like Jane, it kept a proper balance to their work.
My sister was air vacked once. She had a very serious piosonis snak bite. The hospital did not have enough venom for such a bite. So she was transfered to one of the more serious trauma hospitals just a bit away with copter. Ever second counted. She had her own hole team there in ICU and students because it was a kinda rare to happen there. She just kept how small it is in there but that the craziest thing ever. She said look, I dont need to go on vaccation to ride in one! 😂 Luckily it grazed her ankle and didn't sink in cause she jumped into her care. We live in the desert. It was under her car. If it got a good hold she would of not lasted maybe 15 minutes. Its the most moisoness rattle snake out here. We was taught about this snake in school so we would know it!!
I will assume that all of these people volunteer their talents to this great organization. I could only imagine the cost if you had to pay them what their talents would fetch in the hospital setting? God Bless these people and I can see your continuing successes!
When I was 16, I had an incident where other kids mocked me for wearing a helmet. About 10 minutes later I was lying on the road. My helmet was the difference between being picked up by my mum or the ambulance. The front of my helmet hit the road instead of my forehead. I wear a helmet no matter how short the distance or how hot the weather. The air ambulances chasing each other from the trauma pad is a bit crazy.
A helicopter is the closest thing we may ever see to the Jetson cars. I loved those little bubbles and I really assumed that is what we would be driving by now. I always envisioned flying over to the market in one. 🤣
When you consider how shite humans are as drivers in just two dimensions, you can easily see why flying cars will never be a thing until and unless flight training is added to regular school curricula starting from early grades.
After watching most of these episodes (as a person that happens to take multi medications with a few other issues) I am now looking into getting a Medical Bracelet 🏥(they also have necklaces and keychains now as well🏩😊. I didn't know)... I think it would be a grand idea as seeing sooo many people that are in "unable to talk situations" or the docs puttin people in sleepmode to save their life. That medical info is so deadly important to know, really life or death. Quite scary actually if you think about it. Something to think about for you peeps out there that have ailments that are affecting your life too
@Daniella Thoelen I worked as an ambulance attendant and believe me, Medic Alert bracelets are essential for people with medical issues, and who may become unconscious. I wear one because of allergies to pain medications (I react badly to morphine, for example) and if I cannot say anything about that I could be in big trouble if it were given to me. Medications and their doses are not listed on the bracelet, however there is a toll free number to contact the medic alert registry, and they can advise of any medications that the patient may be taking...that being said, it is up to the wearer of the bracelet to keep the registry apprised of changes to medications or other medical issues that EMS and emergency physicians should know.
Daniella Thoelen as someone with several severe medical problems you wouldn’t know it looking at me even with all of the medical expertise in the world. It doesn’t matter how much you know you can’t tell what people are allergic to, for instances I’m deathly allergic to one of the most common antibiotics used, which if you’re in a major accident the hospital would put you on in an instance that you come in with any broken skin.
@@amyfluffyfluff880 medical bracelets have been a thing for a while.. be surprised if most don't know about it. Now whether they'd search depends on individual's preferences (some will, and some won't because most times the info won't affect what they're doing/using and more likely be needed once at hospital) and situation on hand.

@@Josh-dr3fj hey josh, I’m a student paramedic in Australia and we have a similar system here.

There aren’t fires every day though so the fire department guys and girls help with patient unloading of the chopper and other tasks.
Which minute is that? Dont see any fire service back at hospital. However, as they cut people out of crashes, I am sure they have key info to pass onto next rescue team. Though that would happen at the crash site.
Im in southern ontario canada. We have public health care fujnded directly from the province and secondary federaly. Im glad to say Ohip. Funds orange air our air amulance based in toronto.

So i appriciate the work and its importance. But jt took its toll on our family. It sholkd only be a job for those with out one
Yes good point. Why wasn't he wearing a helmet? I don't know much about the condition but are there alarm/alert type devices they can wear to warn of an approaching fit, or that sends a signal to someone else when it happens? It must be the most awful thing, not knowing when the next fit will come, and of course the associated dangers with where they might be when it happens
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship Even if he is a known epileptic that isn’t a guarantee that he often has the type seizures where you lose consciousness, he may have only experienced absent seizures or small seizures, this might have been his first time losing consciousness. Most people with regular seizures can feel them coming on. There aren’t really any devices you can wear constantly, you can measure electrical impulses in the brain but that implies wearing a pretty big device similar to an ekg and is more of a temporary thing. There are seizure dogs though, but they’re often very expensive. Some epileptics who have frequent big seizures have a device similar to a pacemaker implanted in their chest to manage seizures, and most people with frequent seizures take medication to manage their seizures. Some also manage with diet. Keto is actually a medical diet, invented to help manage seizures, not weight.
@@russell7054 I know where the English language came from. I simply asked I that was typical. Outside we call it the "ground". In a house or building, we call it the "floor ". I found the difference interesting, that's all.
why do they always casually stroll up to an emergency in all these videos? are they trying not to be tired and huffed when they reach the patient or something like that??
Exactly that and to avoid injury. They have heavy kit and if you are all puffed out then you are not going to be able to think straight and they need to have energy for if they need to perform CPR (which is actually very tiring) or move the patient.
So happy they are so experienced at their job. Sadly, they are only this experienced in the UK. Unfortunately, we don’t have this experience in America. All our money and freedom and no experienced paramedics.😞
Lmfao. The USA is better. My cousin was flown in an air ambulance to shock trauma in Baltimore. A civilian saved his life with CPR before they arrived. You must not personally know anyone who is an emt or paramedic like meself.
Why do most Americans think they are free, check out this link worldpopulationreview.com/countries/freest-countries/ it might surprise you. You do have experienced medical personnel but I think the reference to money answered that query!
My better half, who was disabled, & I used to pay a monthly fee with an emergency helicopter business. It wasn't at that time that bad price wise & although we never had to use their services, it was good to know that we had it available if either of us had ever needed it.
S01 E 02 is supposed to be Teams come to the aid of a mother and daughter involved in a high-speed motorcycle crash, before helping a four-year-old girl with a serious leg fracture.. This is epsiode four
I don't know why it is, but I think the British way makes sense. Adding 'the' implies everyone knows which specific hospital is being referred to, and that's not always the case
Because they never give up an airway, even an inferior one or an IV site once its established......if something goes wrong with the et tube, that tube in the boys nose may be what saves his life.
Late reply but here's the answer. Bigger Heli-bases have dedicated night and day helicopters. Some of them need to go down during the night for reassesment and repairs. These vehicles have extremely tough safety-standars and they have a very hard limit on how many hours they can be flown each day, this can not be avoided unless there is an extreme emergency.
Pitot static tube to get into undisturbed air for airspeed and pressure altitude, maybe? That's the right location at any rate. I noticed one on one of the helicopters. Analogous to the nosebooms on fighters. I'm a retired NASA research engineer who dealt with fixed-wing aircraft so I'm not a helicopter expert in any way except as a passenger.
@@maryshafer Just a lot of gibberish here coming out from your mind; you sound schizophrenic, either that or you're just trolling. This is what another viewer wrote in the comment section: "Because they never give up an airway, even an inferior one or an IV site once its established......if something goes wrong with the et tube, that tube in the boys nose may be what saves his life." So the real answer to my question is this: the "tube" helps the person to breath and that it also acts as a safety measure if the other equipment (et tube) fail for some reason.
@@maryshafer OK, but I still don't get it how you couldn't understand what I meant, that it was the thing in the nose off the person I meant, I even added a timestamp at 22:55, and you clicked on it, and you give me an answer about the helicopter? That's just weird. haha You can give me the timestamp in the video of what you mean instead if you like.
@RAVETOR I didn't know I could click on the time, thanks. I just watched five of these shows and I'm don't remember where I saw the pitot static tube. I don't even remember which episode had the Optica and that was pretty noteworthy as I'd only seen it in Flight International about 40 years ago. I did notice the fenestron because those are less common in the US. What, this isn't a show about aviation?
Seriously, my iPhone 6 has GPS....why do they have to get out a road map?...at all?... even for the ground?...yet they’re high techie-techie in the air?...
many locations doesn't have fully digital maps. and that is aviation map, it show more than just location, they use that map combine with GPS and digital map to make sure they have as much as information as possible for landing
@Teja Deja - I thought the same thing 😁 I guess the above replies answered the question, though the second one didn't need to be quite so rude. Actually I was thinking they'd have to take an engineer to refold the map 😂😂
The UK is the worlds most completely mapped country and has been for the last 200+ years. Try using the digital OS Mapfinder on whatever phone/tablet you own. www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/shop/os-maps-online.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey Other comments correctly pointed out the air charts are designed for flying aircraft
Late comment here, mobile phone signals rarely transmit above a certain height, also paper maps do not require electricity and rarely do they fail, unlike modern tech which can and does fail, why take the risk especially when lives are at risk.
They need to quit saying that ketamine is a pain medication--it's NOT. It's an anamnestic--it makes you forget--but it does NOT relieve pain. That's why vets can't use ketamine alone for cat spays--it's not humane! Just makes me cringe when they 'give pain medication' and then hurt the hell out of them, just because they won't remember. Do it right, there's lots of meds out there that ARE pain meds. This is just inexcusable.
onafixedincome actually it does ease pain. While it is anamnestic medicine, it does ease pain as it prevent nerve receive signals in short temporary. While it not last long like other addictive pain killer like morphine, it does help to ease pain in short of time since it block your nerve from receive signal completely for short of time. It have been use as pain ease by military combine with morphine! And they are doctor as well as paramedic. I'm sure they know what they are doing! And you don't use ketamine to cat spray alone because it doesn't last long!
@@boocomban Golden words--'in combination with'. If it blocked all the signals for pain, the people or animals would not be screaming and yes, suffering, when it is used. Just because you may not remember it doesn't mean it didn't happen, or that the stress isn't there and won't affect your health and stability. And docs/parameds SHOULD know better!
Ketamine is a pain medicine when dosed correctly (much less than the sedative doses) I have used ketamine for pain many times and the patients remembered the events but had improved pain (sometimes in combination with fentanyl but often just ketamine). There a large body of evidence showing ketamine is effective for acute pain with or without concomitante opiates. It can also be given safely to patients who are unstable. see this paper: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29775117
Trust me ketamine relieves pain.....Ive had ketamine following open heart surgery I still remember everything, it doesnt work as an amenesic med for everyone and it doesnt for me....does make me trip balls though, I cant stand the stuff....but it DOES relieve pain.
@@tandiparent1906 They have many emergency helicopters, which is not what I am saying. The the emergency helicopter in England always carry doctors as part of the flight crew. I have worked as a paramedic in the US, and no company has a doctor as part of the flight crew. It makes a big difference when you have a doctor onboard train in the emergency management of a trump patient.
Was he that naked when driving? I know some patients might loose clothing to open area to get body to move, be released, but I saw nothing to that effect or blood. If blood however. I say it is best to keep clothes on with it. To not cause,increase possible rate of affection and bleeding.
They remove the clothing so they can properly examine the patient and treat any injuries that may be hidden behind clothing and not be distracted by any obvious injuries
This may blow your mind, but an important part of medicine is collecting redundant data. Got to make sure you’re not getting a quick number from somewhere and that number’s wrong! It’s important for documentation. Also, you don’t want to get in trouble for not being thorough.

However, as they cut people out of crashes, I am sure they have key info to pass onto next rescue team. Though that would happen at the crash site.
Im in southern ontario canada. We have public health care fujnded directly from the province and secondary federaly. Im glad to say Ohip. Funds orange air our air amulance based in toronto.

Has epilepsy > doesn’t wear helmet
I wouldn't want to wear a helmet everywhere...
Infernal haze i think he means on a bike
Yes good point. Why wasn't he wearing a helmet? I don't know much about the condition but are there alarm/alert type devices they can wear to warn of an approaching fit, or that sends a signal to someone else when it happens? It must be the most awful thing, not knowing when the next fit will come, and of course the associated dangers with where they might be when it happens
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship Even if he is a known epileptic that isn’t a guarantee that he often has the type seizures where you lose consciousness, he may have only experienced absent seizures or small seizures, this might have been his first time losing consciousness. Most people with regular seizures can feel them coming on. There aren’t really any devices you can wear constantly, you can measure electrical impulses in the brain but that implies wearing a pretty big device similar to an ekg and is more of a temporary thing. There are seizure dogs though, but they’re often very expensive. Some epileptics who have frequent big seizures have a device similar to a pacemaker implanted in their chest to manage seizures, and most people with frequent seizures take medication to manage their seizures. Some also manage with diet. Keto is actually a medical diet, invented to help manage seizures, not weight.
I have epilepsy with grand mal seizures. You get a few seconds warning but you would not be able to stop harm occurring.
Interesting to me how they call the ground the "floor" in these. Is that typical in the UK?
The UK being the place the English language you speak originates from.
And explain the difference.....
@@russell7054 I know where the English language came from. I simply asked I that was typical. Outside we call it the "ground". In a house or building, we call it the "floor ". I found the difference interesting, that's all.
Yes, it’s typical they call the ground the floor
Lots of other lingo too!
Dr. Dion reminds me of Eliot Gilles. Not in a mean way, in a calm kind way. When Elliot isn’t going bonkers bc of Ben.
why do they always casually stroll up to an emergency in all these videos? are they trying not to be tired and huffed when they reach the patient or something like that??
Exactly that and to avoid injury. They have heavy kit and if you are all puffed out then you are not going to be able to think straight and they need to have energy for if they need to perform CPR (which is actually very tiring) or move the patient.
@@artspooner makes sense! Thanks
So happy they are so experienced at their job. Sadly, they are only this experienced in the UK. Unfortunately, we don’t have this experience in America. All our money and freedom and no experienced paramedics.😞
Lmfao. The USA is better. My cousin was flown in an air ambulance to shock trauma in Baltimore. A civilian saved his life with CPR before they arrived. You must not personally know anyone who is an emt or paramedic like meself.
Why do most Americans think they are free, check out this link worldpopulationreview.com/countries/freest-countries/ it might surprise you.
You do have experienced medical personnel but I think the reference to money answered that query!
What freedom?
@@paleblueeyesxx4433 Better in what way?
My better half, who was disabled, & I used to pay a monthly fee with an emergency helicopter business. It wasn't at that time that bad price wise & although we never had to use their services, it was good to know that we had it available if either of us had ever needed it.
Props to them, but NPAs are a no no for head trauma cases.
Perhaps the parents said “ helmet”! The 16 yer old thought he was too cool to wear a helmet?? 16 year olds can be a bit hard headed. 😊
Where is this?
CQBify all across the UK
I might be the only person that basically is told your ok and don’t make any noice.

Hope the boy is ok !🙄
LOVEE the sassy emoji 😂
I wondered if they carry machetes and wire cutters to get through those thick fences and shrubs.
Why do British people say “go to hospital” instead of “ go to THE hospital” ?
I don't know why it is, but I think the British way makes sense. Adding 'the' implies everyone knows which specific hospital is being referred to, and that's not always the case
When you go to hospital you are the patient, when you go to the hospital you are a visitor.
Motorcycle "drivers" are the most dangerous...weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds ignorant to law abiding motorists
why do they were helmets and not just headphones?
Thats just how the equipment comes, it's also easier to do than just head phones and also provides extra protection for turbulence etc.
Why does the kid have a nosetube?
Because they never give up an airway, even an inferior one or an IV site once its established......if something goes wrong with the et tube, that tube in the boys nose may be what saves his life.
Why do the put the helicopter in the hanger at night?? Don’t they fly at night??
Late reply but here's the answer. Bigger Heli-bases have dedicated night and day helicopters. Some of them need to go down during the night for reassesment and repairs. These vehicles have extremely tough safety-standars and they have a very hard limit on how many hours they can be flown each day, this can not be avoided unless there is an extreme emergency.
I would think that it would be dangerous for a helicopter to try to land in unfamiliar places with electric lines, etc.
Looks like lots of medicine
What's the thing in the nose for? at 22:55
Pitot static tube to get into undisturbed air for airspeed and pressure altitude, maybe? That's the right location at any rate. I noticed one on one of the helicopters. Analogous to the nosebooms on fighters. I'm a retired NASA research engineer who dealt with fixed-wing aircraft so I'm not a helicopter expert in any way except as a passenger.
@@maryshafer Just a lot of gibberish here coming out from your mind; you sound schizophrenic, either that or you're just trolling. This is what another viewer wrote in the comment section: "Because they never give up an airway, even an inferior one or an IV site once its established......if something goes wrong with the et tube, that tube in the boys nose may be what saves his life." So the real answer to my question is this: the "tube" helps the person to breath and that it also acts as a safety measure if the other equipment (et tube) fail for some reason.
@RAVETOR I was referring to the nose of the helicopter, not the nose of a person. Goes to show a difference in perspective.
@@maryshafer OK, but I still don't get it how you couldn't understand what I meant, that it was the thing in the nose off the person I meant, I even added a timestamp at 22:55, and you clicked on it, and you give me an answer about the helicopter? That's just weird. haha You can give me the timestamp in the video of what you mean instead if you like.
@RAVETOR I didn't know I could click on the time, thanks. I just watched five of these shows and I'm don't remember where I saw the pitot static tube. I don't even remember which episode had the Optica and that was pretty noteworthy as I'd only seen it in Flight International about 40 years ago. I did notice the fenestron because those are less common in the US. What, this isn't a show about aviation?
Helmets all the way any age!!
Now they carry blood .
Seriously, my iPhone 6 has GPS....why do they have to get out a road map?...at all?... even for the ground?...yet they’re high techie-techie in the air?...
many locations doesn't have fully digital maps. and that is aviation map, it show more than just location, they use that map combine with GPS and digital map to make sure they have as much as information as possible for landing
@Teja Deja - I thought the same thing 😁 I guess the above replies answered the question, though the second one didn't need to be quite so rude. Actually I was thinking they'd have to take an engineer to refold the map 😂😂
The UK is the worlds most completely mapped country and has been for the last 200+ years. Try using the digital OS Mapfinder on whatever phone/tablet you own.

Other comments correctly pointed out the air charts are designed for flying aircraft
Late comment here, mobile phone signals rarely transmit above a certain height, also paper maps do not require electricity and rarely do they fail, unlike modern tech which can and does fail, why take the risk especially when lives are at risk.

They need to quit saying that ketamine is a pain medication--it's NOT. It's an anamnestic--it makes you forget--but it does NOT relieve pain. That's why vets can't use ketamine alone for cat spays--it's not humane! Just makes me cringe when they 'give pain medication' and then hurt the hell out of them, just because they won't remember.
Do it right, there's lots of meds out there that ARE pain meds. This is just inexcusable.
onafixedincome actually it does ease pain. While it is anamnestic medicine, it does ease pain as it prevent nerve receive signals in short temporary. While it not last long like other addictive pain killer like morphine, it does help to ease pain in short of time since it block your nerve from receive signal completely for short of time. It have been use as pain ease by military combine with morphine! And they are doctor as well as paramedic. I'm sure they know what they are doing! And you don't use ketamine to cat spray alone because it doesn't last long!
@@boocomban Golden words--'in combination with'. If it blocked all the signals for pain, the people or animals would not be screaming and yes, suffering, when it is used. Just because you may not remember it doesn't mean it didn't happen, or that the stress isn't there and won't affect your health and stability.
And docs/parameds SHOULD know better!
Ketamine is a pain medicine when dosed correctly (much less than the sedative doses) I have used ketamine for pain many times and the patients remembered the events but had improved pain (sometimes in combination with fentanyl but often just ketamine). There a large body of evidence showing ketamine is effective for acute pain with or without concomitante opiates. It can also be given safely to patients who are unstable.
see this paper: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29775117
Trust me ketamine relieves pain.....Ive had ketamine following open heart surgery I still remember everything, it doesnt work as an amenesic med for everyone and it doesnt for me....does make me trip balls though, I cant stand the stuff....but it DOES relieve pain.
Lol look it up on Wiki you muppet. First sentence says it's an analgesic. It's really not that hard to be informed these days.
Why do the British call the ground, the floor?
Because the Brits speak English

Unfortunately America has nothing like this.
Actually the U.S. have several emergency helicopter ambulances around the country.
@@tandiparent1906 They have many emergency helicopters, which is not what I am saying. The the emergency helicopter in England always carry doctors as part of the flight crew. I have worked as a paramedic in the US, and no company has a doctor as part of the flight crew.
It makes a big difference when you have a doctor onboard train in the emergency management of a trump patient.

Was he that naked when driving? I know some patients might loose clothing to open area to get body to move, be released, but I saw nothing to that effect or blood. If blood however. I say it is best to keep clothes on with it. To not cause,increase possible rate of affection and bleeding.
They remove the clothing so they can properly examine the patient and treat any injuries that may be hidden behind clothing and not be distracted by any obvious injuries
Who’s the tubby bird is she just a gofer
We fbff
Has he got a radial pulse as the patient is talking and has a gcs of 15. This stuff is boring
This may blow your mind, but an important part of medicine is collecting redundant data. Got to make sure you’re not getting a quick number from somewhere and that number’s wrong! It’s important for documentation. Also, you don’t want to get in trouble for not being thorough.
