Snowy dust off...

Today? Our CCPs completed their aircraft orientation and safety sign offs. #safety is a priority!

And now .... chest tubes and pleur evac taught by @bcalsccp one of our talented instructors.

CCP training today includes monitors and invasive lines. We learn to use these in the dark, in cramped quarters in the flight environment. Practice is key to providing high quality patient care in all environments. @critcare_medics #zoll

And more ...... IV pumps. We train hard to ensure we can provide our patients in All of BC the best possible care.
