Okay question for you all that are on a volley squad and career deparments. I got on the subject of being able to lift a pt. And haveing some on the volley squad that can't lift a whole lot. so I was curious of any EMS deparments had training like the firedepartment do. I think it is call CPAT (dont know for sure). But I was thinking of doing some lifting and other stations of splinting and stuff we don't do on a daily basis like CPR on the floor where you normaly end up doing CPR. So If any one has Ideas of being good or bad. I know supposeively when we joined we were suppose to be able to lift x amount of weight and care a distance of X but other than that never getting checked and being out rages in weight and distance no one probley ever said anything. SO let me know what you think for a training night that includes alittle bit of everything and then some.
Thanks
Thanks
