”Someone's been shot”: An EMS case study
By James J Augustine
”The crew heard a 'Pop, pop, pop' nearby, and knew it wasn’t just a car backfiring. The dispatch was for ”someone shot,” and they were two blocks away. Law enforcement worked quickly to secure the area, and asked that EMS approach quickly. A young man was on the ground, unconscious. He was warm. There was no blood. A rapid assessment found multiple wounds in his chest, and he would respond to painful stimuli. He had a weak pulse, and agonal respirations.”

Thermal Angel helps flight nurse with trauma patient
”When we received the trauma patient, her core temperature was 94°F. We applied several warm blankets, turned up the heater and used the Thermal Angel. We were with the patient a total of 45 minutes and when we turned care over to the receiving facility, her core temperature was up to 98°F. That's amazing!”
