Blood by Marjorie Liu

Blood by Marjorie Liu

Selecting and preparing a helicopter air ambulance landing zone can challenge even the most seasoned professional. To prepare you for the busy and potentially chaotic environment that may follow a helicopter air ambulance flight request, author S. G. Nix familiarizes the reader with important safety topics and landing zone procedures that are accepted throughout the air medical industry.

In this guide, the reader will learn how to confidently:

• coordinate a helicopter air ambulance flight request
• select and prepare helicopter air ambulance landing zones
• supervise landing zone activities
• confidently work in a variety of key landing zone positions
• overcome challenges and respond to unusual situations that could jeopardize the safety of the flight crew, landing zone personnel, and the patient

Nix also includes three important appendixes to enhance safety in the landing zone: a sample landing zone coordinator checklist, a sample tail rotor guard instruction sheet, and a sample lift assistance instruction sheet. Each of these samples can be modified to help individuals and agencies prepare for real-life situations and emergencies that may require a helicopter air ambulance.
