M*A*S*H students experienced several emergent scenarios today during camp. Survival Flight (Emergency Medical Air Transportation Services) landed at MRHS for a mock transport of a patient (MASH student). The flight nurse and paramedic shared life saving techniques for rapid medical services to preserve a patient's safety until they can be transported to the medical care they require. Following Survival Flight's departure, Southwest EMS volunteered to provide a mock arrival of a stroke victim. Sara Hale, MRHS Director of Quality Services, willingly served as a patient presenting with stroke symptoms. ER Director Tony Tackett demonstrated the AR Saves Stroke telemedicine program that links emergency room doctors to stroke specialists via live, two-way video. Proper steps must be taken before administering TPA, a clot-buster that dissolves blood clots obstructing blood flow to the brain.
Three students from Mena High School are attending MASH Camp: Skyla Kim, Blake Castor and Gaven Hooper.
