Does your department have SOPs or seat assignments for extrications?
I attended an advanced ex class that preached preplanned assignments but can it work in a volly department? It seems when we roll in nobody knows for sure what their task will be. Yes, we establish command, do a 360, patient assessment, vehicle stabilization, etc., etc. and things usually click and we get the job done.
Could we improve by developing an SOP(G) with assigned tasks? The trouble I see is you're never sure of the experience level of the crew you may have on board.
