ANALYSIS AND REVIEW

In the Medevac, there are some things below as the summary of

medevac drill with positive and negative thing to be concerned:
1. Positive things
a. Communication which established during the evacuation quite well
with radio operators and personnel who are in Pujon
b. Medical field is near the crew at work, this is expected to be
adopted by the another medical field, in case of an emergency, the
medical field can well handle quickly.
c. Medical field has a well action spryly in handling with an
emergency situation.
2. Things that need to be considered or corrected:
a. All of channel radio user is expected to do not use the radio when
the incident occurred so that the evacuation process was not
disturbed by the radio call on the channel.
b. The accident location is a place that is difficult to reach because
the road condition from the location towards the position of
ambulance / vehicle nearby.
c. Our communication with the doctors at the Pujon Public Health
Care via Mobile Pujon classified as very difficult. Though all our
needs regarding medical cooperation must go through the health
center doctor first.
d. Pujon Public Health Care ambulance cannot be used at all times,
because the two drivers on duty are not always in place and this
makes the response time to evacuate us be long.
e. Pujon Public Health Care ambulance had experienced difficulties in
towards

the

victim's

position,

because

there

is

no

radio

communication Ambulance and our personnel are assisting.

Communication is only via mobile phones among doctors in Base
Camp with Driver of Pujon Public Health Care ambulance

f. Pujon Public Health Care ambulance cannot use all the time that we
need for the ambulance because used for public interest of local
residents.
g. Evacuation slightly hampered by a vehicle of ambulances Pujon
Public Health Care ambulance is not four wheel drive type (4x4), so
that if no vehicle transporter near the line of operation then it will
take a very long time to transfer the victims.
h. When using the transporter vehicle, victims position cannot be
laid, while in certain cases where the victim requires a reclined
position it will make the victim's condition worsened even a fatality.
i. Ambulance trip from pick-up position of the vehicle of Transporter
(EN-51) until Pujon Public Health Care ambulance takes 30 minutes.

3. Suggestions and improvements:

a. Medical improvements such as medical links between the doctor
and the Medical field and it shall be done immediately a refresh
First Aid training to the entire medical field.
b. Revised of ERP
c. The Second ambulance are considered to be add.
