 PTAR members who served as judges for the Basic Life Support (BLS) competition at the 52nd Annual 2008 NCAREMS Convention in Hickory, N.C. were (L-R) EMT-I Lindsay Crater, EMT-I Janice Pearn and RN Phillip "Skip" Bradford. They performed those duties along with a couple dozen other judges from Rescue Squads all across the State of North Carolina. Each judge must attend special training classes and become certified in order to judge NCAREMS events. |
personnel worked to free "victims" who were trapped under a large concrete slab. Once they removed the "victims", and secured them on a backboard, they turned the "victims" over to a different team of EMTs who examined and treated the "victims" and prepared them for transport to a medical facility. One of the "simulated" wounds the "victims" suffered was a piece of metal rebar impaled through their leg. The photo below shows an unidentified rescue squad member participating in Part-1 of the 2-Part scenario. |
 The remainder of the photos below show 3 teams of Piedmont Triad Ambulance & Rescue (PTAR) Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) participating in Part-2 of the 2-Part scenario. |
