(VICTIM PACKAGING)

Victim Packaging

The process of securing a subject in a transfer device, with regard to existing and potential
injuries/illness, so as to avoid further harm during movement.

Patient packaging goal:

Immobilize the patient to minimize movement no matter what position the litter is placed in.
 Always consider the following:

 Use plenty of padding under the patient and in all voids to avoid sliding inside the stretcher.

 Bring patient with goggle and helmet to protect the head and face from debris and vegetation.

 Protect the patient from the elements both hot and cold.

 Give special consideration to vital signs and airway management.

 Lashing (internal and external) should be tight enough to avoid bouncing or moving upward.

Rapid, professional packaging will play a significant role in the entire rescue operation.
