Great presentation! As a retired military and civilian Physician Assistant specializing in trauma, combat, and emergency care, the concise information presented in a manner that is easy to recall for the lay person is critical. Field expedient care differs from urban care. I also felt the urging to seek additional training mentioned throughout was nicely done as to not overwhelm the viewer. Overall great job!
I loved this video! It gives a pretty good overview of what to think of during post rescue care. As a former EMT, I take issue with two details, though. Generally in first aid, people are not advised anymore to feel the pulse. This is because laypersons have a pretty hard time doing it and I think when you have cold fingers after an avalanche rescue, it's even harder. Usually you'd just assume that if the patient is breathing, there's circulation and if he doesn't, there's not. Second, when you talk about moving the patient in minute 4:00, you should reiterate that it's important to protect the spine (and any other fractures) when moving. Please add annotations to your video if you agree.
Good to get the message across that basic first aid applies to the avalanche victim and not just other situations but you missed one massive point at the beginning, and one that continues especially in this case throughout, Hazzard, making sure it's safe for you to be there.

Superb - clear concise and well delivered by a competent and authentic instructor - many thanks!

She covers scene safety in a previous video before they search for the patient.
EXCELLENT VIDEO, SOMETHING TO LOOK UP TO AS FAR AS INSPIRING,JOB WELL DONE,VERY IMPRESSIVE,WOW!
Thanks for the video, they are really great :D
In 2:05 don't you have to slice your hands behind the patient instead of moving him?
He’s dead meat
BAD ATTITUDE
