Share |

Native Air, a leading provider of air medical rescue services in New Mexico, will train New Mexico Department of Public Safety Officers in helicopter operations and safety for air medical rescue.

New Mexico (I-Newswire) February 8, 2011 - More than 9,600 people are transported by air medical rescue providers each year in New Mexico. New Mexico Department of Public Safety Officers from around the state will be trained in helicopter operations and safety in a vital training program hosted by Native Air.

The training covers what officers need to look for in preparing a safe landing zone for an emergency helicopter rescue team, and what information to provide to the communication center. This class will provide important education regarding safety awareness for those on the ground when a helicopter is heading to a rescue scene as well as those in the aircraft. Officers will also learn about patient criteria for transport by air instead of ground and the importance of transporting patients to the closest appropriate facility in the quickest and safest time for the patient, especially with trauma, cardiac and stroke victims.
