Flight Scene Excellence!

I would like to recognize the extreme clinical expertise of our Carilion Clinic Flight Teams. Recently, while working clinically in CRMH ED, I received a patient from Carilion Flight Paramedic Taylor Powell and Carilion Flight Nurse Lindsey Bixel.

Their flight was a scene response in one of our rural counties. They partnered with local EMS/Fire on a very difficult extrication of the patient. In addition to Rapid Sequence Intubation, they also started blood products while on scene.

Their ongoing training with the Carilion Operational Medical Director in the simulation center, helps to enable them to make the extraordinary look easy. They did an amazing job in the toughest of circumstances.
