Before the MCI drill
MCI is a practice that was arranged this year under close monitoring from Dubai Women’s College in coordination with Dubai Police rescue, college administration, faculty staff and Students from DWC they participated by being patients . The event successfully conducted and achieved learning objectives for all students who were involved in effectively. The following is going to explain the whole operations, finding and lessons learned out of the practice.
In MCI practice I learned many things, as usual we didn’t knew about what it will be the scenario in the drill. In the drill there were different kinds of multiple injuries out which required triaging
We practiced in different places for example we did a review for our skills in practice room and divided 4 groups each doing skill’s for example one group reviewed how to check Blood Pressure (BP) for each other, the second group practiced on how to bandage different parts of the body. The third group practiced on the removal of the patient from the car by using the Kendrick Excortication Device (KED) or by doing rapid excortication. The last group practiced to splint and used the spider straps.
During the training session we went to the open just before the main MCI drill to get some handover experience. The scene we got in the training session was a man trapped in between two cars and in each car were one patient lying unconscious. We treated the first car with KED and backboard for the second along with standing implosion.
Moreover, we also went to the ambulance department which is located in Warsan area and did some drills with the professional medic people. They should the different kind of equipment used for the scene and explain the importance of it in the actual MCI. We also did few. At the end, we got some feedback and advice from leader of disaster team (Juma Al Balooshi), which was very kind of him sharing his expertise.
