Patient Extration

This class is probably the most important class in our event, you will notice that this class is required to complete all three levels of our extrication courses.

Today as rescuers we think of extrication as cutting up cars. So many have lost sight of the real mission of extrication, being dis-entrapment and removal of the patient without further harm.
