Hello, kids! There's a cool piece of equipment in pre-hospital trauma care: Know what a KED device is? It’s a super useful tool that has been saving lives in emergencies. Let us know more about this great device.
First, here is how the KED is a unique tool for emergency medical care. A Kendrick Extrication Device (KED), for use by paramedics and other medical assistants to stabilize patients when they are in danger, and on the move. “If you think about it, it’s a little bit like a superhero cape for patients, that kind of pinning a little kid, like, ‘Oh, you need to keep still. You’re going to get hurt more,’” he said.
Second, we’ll talk about how the KED saves lives. Seconds count when someone is injured. The KED device assists in transporting patients rapidly without further injury in a safe manner to medical personnel. This translates to meaningful improvements for patients on the ground, who are able to access care faster and start on the path to recovery sooner.
Next, how about KED device? What are their advantages to immobilize and move the patients? The KED device provides a comforting “blanket” feel for patients, holding them in one place while moving them from another. This serves to prevent further injuries, and ensures that patients feel comfortable en route to the hospital or some other medical destination.
Then, let’s discuss how being trained to use the KED device is necessary for the medical helpers. As superheros need to train, so do the medical workers who will use the KED device. Medresq offers specialized training classes for paramedics and other first-responders who want to properly and safely use the KED device.
Finally, we’ll take a look at how the KED device can assist safe removal of patients from cars and confined areas. And sometimes patients get caught in precarious places, like cars. The KED device can assist pulling patients out of these spots gently, so too find and keep them safe without hurting them more.
