	Casualty lifting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Casualty lifting is the first step of casualty movement, an early aspect of emergency medical care.
		The stretcher is slid besides the casualty, the pole against the thigh of the chief.
		The third of the stretcher that is the closest to the casualty is folded on the middle third.

	First Aid: Appendix B. Rescue and Transportation Procedures: Manual Carries
		Casualties should not be moved before the type and extent of injuries are evaluated and the required emergency medical treatment is given.
		The exception to this occurs when the situation dictates immediate movement for safety purposes (for example, it may be necessary to remove a casualty from a burning vehicle); that is, the situation dictates that the urgency of casualty movement outweighs the need to administer emergency medical treatment.
		If the casualty is taller than the bearers it may be necessary for the bearers to lift the casualty's legs and let them rest on their forearms.

		Helicopter evacuation of casualties in Mogadishu was not feasible because of the threat of RPG fire and a lack of adequate landing zones due to the narrow streets.
		If these substitutes are not readily available, and the risk of hostile fire injury to the casualty requires immediate movement, the casualty may be grabbed by the shoulders of his uniform, the head stabilized by the forearms, and the casualty dragged along the ground to cover.
		Improved casualty retrieval and area denial methods to include smoke, diversions, custom-made or field-expedient casualty retrieval devices (such a length of line with a snap link), pursuit deterrent munitions, use of vehicles for cover, and improved gunfire support plans for the urban environment need to be developed and employed.

		This means that if the situation permits, splint the fractured part before any movement of the casualty is attempted and without any changes in the position of the fractured part.
		When there is bleeding from the mouth and throat, position the casualty on his side so that the blood will drain out of his mouth and not down his windpipe.
		Movement may be restricted by the confined space of some tunnels but it may be the quickest, safest and least congested option.

	Legacy of McCarthyism
		With their demise, the nation lost the institutional network that had created a public space where serious alternatives to the status quo could be presented.
		Moreover, with the disappearance of a vigorous movement on their left, moderate reform groups were more exposed to right-wing attacks and thus rendered less effective.
		McCarthyism further contributed to the attenuation of the reform impulse by helping to divert the attention of the labor movement, the strongest institution within the old New Deal coalition, from external organizing to internal politicking.

		The more dependent the evacuation of casualties is on the forward transport of combat personnel or material (rather than separate, dedicated casualty evacuation units, such as medevac helicopters or ground ambulances), the more difficult it is to deliver medical treatment in a reasonable time.
		Efficiency dictates a shore-based casualty sorting mechanism for both physiologic stabilization of the wounded and prioritization of casualties for further, over-the-water evacuation.
		Movement of patients onto and off the ship by this means is slow, even under the best conditions.

		For many of the Marines and Sailors participating in the exercise this was their first time conducting a mass casualty drill and most spent time prior to the exercise receiving classes on field medicine and mass casualties from the II Marine Expeditionary Force's Special Operations Training Group.
		This simulation allowed the Marines and sailors of the MEU to practice the processes and procedures for conducting a ship-to-shore movement of Marines and sailors as well as a ground movement to the objective area.
		During the exercise speed is essential so the mass casualty team worked through the systematic actions on the objectives as well as command and control.

		Her arrest moved the leaders of the movement to boycott the city's bus lines, which largely served fl people.

		Treatment: * If the casualty is conscious and capable of swallowing, immediately give sugar lumps, a sugary drink, chocolate or other sweet food in order to raise the level of sugar in the blood.
		The recover position ensures that a casualty maintains an open airway, that the tongue cannot fall to the back of the throat, that the head and neck remain in an extended position so that the air passage is widened, and any vomit or fluid will drain freely.
		Where there are fractures in the upper or lower body, where the casualty is lying in a confined space, or where it is not possible to use the bent limbs as supports, the Recover Position can be modified.

		On the battlefield, rapid systematic assessment of a casualty increases the likelihood that life threatening injuries are identified and prioritized.
		If the casualty is unable to move, the medic may need to assist the casualty using manual evacuation.
		If the casualty is not currently receiving fire and a C-spine injury is likely, you may elect to delay movement until it can be done safely.

		Depending on the concept of operations, flow and availability of airlift and AE support, the patient may be evacuated directly to definitive care.
		All medical aspects of patient movement management in the AE system (e.g., mission diversions for medical reasons, nonmedical diversions that affect patient management, etc.) should be referred to the supporting PMRC.

	Occasional Paper No. 17
		Engaged in a widespread and multifaceted struggle for social justice, many Chicano movement participants were inspired by the belief that cultural pride and ethnic unity were together the raw stuff of political mobilization and empowerment.
		How did Mexican-Americans who were not in the movement react to anti-war activism on the part of Chicanos?7 I quickly found that accounts of the anti-war movement during the Vietnam era did not have much to say about the Chicano Moratorium.8 Fortunately, during the course of my research, Carlos Muñoz, Jr.
		By mentioning casualty rates and by referring to the ideas of World War II, moratorium members anchored their appeal to the same grave injustice that Mexican-Americans had noted since World War II: they were dying overseas for the United States while still subject to discrimination at home.

		If the casualty is conscious and talking, you know they have an open airway and are breathing.
		You do this by observing the casualty and seeing if he or she is breathing, is coughing, if there is any kind of movement of the casualty and by checking the carotid pulse for not more than 10 seconds.
		The carotid pulse is taken by placing two fingers on the carotid artery found on either side of the casualty’s neck just parallel to the windpipe (trachea).

	Casualty movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The casualty movement is the procedures used to move a casualty from the initial location (street, home, workplace, wilderness, battlefield) to the ambulance.
		In wilderness or combat conditions, it may first be necessary to stabilize the patient prior to moving them to avoid causing further injury.
		Once the patient is ready to be moved, the first step is the casualty lifting, to put him/her on a stretcher.

	Concern has been voiced regarding the financial viability of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The social insurance perspective maintains that PBGC should encourage the maintenance of defined benefit pension plans and function as a transfer agency in a social insurance system where the insured cross-subsidize one another in the event that a definable loss should occur.
		The casualty insurance perspective argues that the PBGC insurance scheme is flawed in its design and that these flaws are the cause of any existing deficit problems.
		A balance between social insurance and casualty insurance principles is most likely to sustain an overall strong and continuing defined benefit pension system, providing a continuing base of premium payers for the PBGC.

		A computer system deployed nearly two years ago to monitor the movement of casualties out of a combat zone will be upgraded to make it compatible with the Defense Department’s global transportation network.
		In a typical scenario, commanders on the ground determine that casualties need to be evacuated and transported to a medical facility.
		The Transportation Command operates four patient movement requirement centers: one is located at the command’s headquarters, at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. The others are based at Ramstein Air Base, in Germany, and at Yokota Air Base, in Japan.
