people [Music] one of the busiest air ambulance services in the country it's called out between three and five times every day [Music] oh no I am hospital consultant dr. David Sutton has been part of the team here for six years I've actually got a personal experience of how useful the air amethyst is because I was out on a job two years ago I should got run over myself and have my leg fractured and shattered in three places so I flew out in the front of the air ambulance and flew to the hospital in the back of it lying on the stretcher is my own patient so then when we landed and they wheeled me out everyone in the hospital could see eyes on the trolley so they thought as an exercise its stand down everybody check check check we spend a lot of our time the airbase making sure the aircraft is all set up the equipment is checked so when we get to the scene we don't have to worry about is the right equipment in the bag we know it's there check it's all we're left with it's a direct challenge of delivering care to the patient once loaded Helly made five six is effectively a mobile er carrying a hundred and eighty items of life-saving kit that's me six over six anybody okay caps if you jump in I'm ready to start copy the traffic that will be lifting is 67 smart example okay 57 contract I'm doing at 1 3 4 2 4 1 p 5 goodbye the crew were heading to Southampton docks where a sailor has fallen from height we go to instance in all manner of places I've been in the bowels of ships we've been in the heart of crashed aircraft massive car wrecks in the middle of forests on the beach in the sea you name it we've been there the landcruiser Spectre sailor has broken both ankles and may have sustained neck and back injuries so they require a doctor to do a full assessment right about the 500 foot is to the right there are high cranes adjacent to the incident [Applause] [Music] applets [Music] right now okay guys it is off the ship according to Mike it's actually off the deck you can see a cluster of people five six hampers off the ground [Music] it's the gangplank yeah Yeah right it's all crates himself mid-flight okay if its head at the Forum banquet yeah hi Ivan dr. something there were other doctors with the arrow it's chicken cross where are you from Russia yeah we have a Russian who needs us in our hospital so do you have any pain in your neck no yes just keep your head nice and still for me any tenderness there good air entry all areas Ivan how how painful ooh your ankles out of ten five okay yeah we'll give you something for the pain painkiller morphine for the pain the problem is getting them off the ship because see how high up we are the access ramp was about that vertical every jobs different in some times because they are new environment you have to be very creative about how you rescue the patient so we have to think outside the box and sometimes have some very unusual ways of rescuing people the guys have operably usually quite we could get in with a scoop the basket stretch or a crane him over the edge I didn't spot it he seems quite happy that drop that hook of his head that'd be a bad thing [Music] I wouldn't in this case is very stable and we weren't very far from Southampton which is the trauma center for the sensible thing to do was to transfer him by Road what makes the aramean special is that you've got a combination of exciting pre-hospital care and flying so if you like flying and you like exciting medicine what's not to like companies we have to do routinely one is wash the turbine blades so they get crud built up on and so we wash that so if I blows crud is a pilot word crud quite work for [ __ ] ready to go ready to save lives 4:07 the crew have been requested by another air ambulance team already on the scene of an incident involving a seriously injured cyclist let me I turned stroke poor goat I'll announce that mr. Hollis I'm just strapped please an RSI is a rapid sequence induction it's a general anesthetic the patient is put to sleep and given drugs to paralyze them if you're going to keep the patient in anesthetic in the field you have to have a doctor there because only it could have care doctor has the expertise you need to do that we got two minutes to go take if there's a helicopter there as a clue yeah somewhere might be a red one okay guys preen outer space three Amber's run out at London laser strobe all good on announce okay just let me pour down boss the trees behind thank you like a tail their shells clear I do that yeah yeah let's go behind okay guys you are clear to do what you do paramedic Clive Stevens has prepared as much as he can for the general anesthetic but the procedure can't start until trauma doctor David arrives Denis think 50s year-old found at 15:40 yes we think it must been high-speed because you had a very severe head injury and they're very severe chest injury combination of those two together made it a very serious situation dennis is semi-conscious and agitated both are signs of brain trauma how you die you die from lack of option to the brain so everything we do is to preserve that flow of oxygen to the brain and that's what they do in intensive care what we're doing is bringing that process forward maybe by an hour or more and starting it on that toe path next to the River Thames in Maidenhead so Rawls climbs your jobs that you'll know what we like to do you might be differentiation looking at the shape no next wall chin yeah so I would go just with a large blade and then bushi don't do the airway okay we take the airway I'll do airway assist so Clive took on the role of managing the airway he was gonna put the breathing tube down pat was drawing up the drugs and preparing the equipment and I direct the whole scene Denis okay Clive so tell us when you're ready to be fairly quickly rapidly so we need to get this done the reason you need to tie somebody's been seriously injured is you have to control the airway the breathing and their circulation if you don't do that they can get low on oxygen that blood pressure can drop and that will double the mortality the death rate from a head injury so he can intervene early you prevent the ongoing damage to the brain and you can increase the survival rate Fujin to bond please okay ventilate good air entry good air entry good air entry all areas what everybody although he's now stable Dennis is still in a critical condition okay so monetary yeah ECG bp's on three minutes yeah - we've got a reading rate it's a 12-minute flight - Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital and its neurosurgeons as good education climbed in the nerve thank you it look easy I'm very proud that medicine has evolved to the point where we can deliver advanced techniques right to the patient in their home or by the roadside and that just so dramatically increases their chances of survival so we'll be going at about two minutes a really rewarding day on their Amplatz is a day where we work closely as a team saved a life or he made a difference to somebody's life that's what makes a really rewarding day thank you that's a good job wasn't a very good yep [Music] paramedic Colin Clark is starting his shift beautiful not too hot not much traffic ah glorious Colin loves his motorbike it's his little baby [Applause] he's always cleaning it tinkering about with it and looking always to improve it [Music] there are mothers Jude speaking right what injuries as you go great

Halim at 6-3 is traveling over 70 miles to get to a patient in Cumbria yeah disciple of the company I need details yes so reduced level of consciousness [Music] I've had an update from them patient

light to be able to see why is pylons by the time we get over there it's gonna be Sophie don't get dark proper [Music] [Music] give you guys options to fill all obstructions around there yeah column now just I looked it apparently this it's a mortal recent circuit that you're going to and if you give me a shout when you're ten minutes out and I'll contact them and they'll make sure anyways and

which side certain [Music] okay just say ninety nine for me turn again deep breath in and out is that saw only pen down this side yeah the worried Chris might be collecting blood in his chest from his broken ribs it is possible for us to perform a procedure by the roadside and drain the fluid off but as long as he's stable and safer and better for him to fly me and as he was and he quickly took me another line Chris I'm just gonna pop another needle in you around okay where Chris was was in the region of 100 miles away from the nearest major trauma center but thankfully because we're in a helicopter we can cover the distance and a fraction of the time that you could buy land relax good man little scratch brilliant there we go brilliant okay okay he's got by lashline and truth and

probably will fluoresce my life I you know it's got an end one day but I want it to end yet [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we save hundreds of lives every year but there's nothing worse than losing the patient all we can do is keep trying to save as many as we can whenever we can [Music] we probably lost a couple units of blood into your broken leg herb chance of this injury killing her probably
