Underwater Evacuation Briefing at Doctor’s Training Workshop

''' ' The quick itself is really rather intensive. It enters into a lot more detail. This is a sort of a summary, however it will certainly
give you an idea of the majority of the products that are discussed on the real training courses,
OK. So, the ultimate goal here is to provide you men
a confidence test gained from a ditch or an abandoning airplane, making use of the tools offered,
OK. First off, equipment-wise, we'' re going to discuss an EBS. An EBS is an Emergency Situation Breathing System, OK. And I discussed, I assume, to several of you downstairs previously, when you saw the individuals using it, the factor why it came about.Over several years,

they did a whole lot of crash analysis. They looked into casualties, OK, in the real offshore market. Helicopter incidents, and they located that among the most significant factors of potentially survivable cases was Cold Water Shock, OK, that brought about casualties, alright. Same point with the Titanic. A great deal of people assume individuals sank, they didn'' t. Cold Water Shock actually got them, so first immersion into water, OK. So therefore (they provided) they created a system. This is the most up to date manifestation for the UK market, OK, and some various other components of the globe, alright. Emergency Breathing Systems do vary, in different areas, occasionally, OK.This is not a Compressed Air System. This is generally so the individual will certainly make use of their very own air, OK. There is a little, pressed, air cylinder attached inside the jacket, inside the breathing bladder, and that'' s made (to go on, sorry).
to trigger on contact with water, OK. Although it'' s pressed air, it in fact. fills up the coat to an ambient pressure. So it doesn'' t have any type of effects to breathing. from that particular device, OK. Although it'' s putting air right into the jacket,
. you will certainly still be able to make an escape underwater, wearing this coat, out of one of the retreat.
departures, OK. You will certainly be a little much more buoyant however that'' s. all covered in the training, OK, regarding how you overcome that, OK.So, this is a consolidated unit. It'' s a lifejacket with an Emergency situation Breathing.
System developed right into it, OK. Exactly how to place it on, if you'' re mosting likely to wear. it today: Hold it, easily in your right-hand man, thus. Take your left hand. Pass it through the 2 bands at the back. Place your head right via the middle, OK. Which'' s it. Now these are training jackets. Being training jackets, they are not fitted. with that Compressed Air Cyndrical Tube. So today, the only air that you'' ll have in. the system, is the air that you place in, OK. Alright, it ' s vital that you follow instructions,.
OK. Don'' t put a breath in, you ' ve obtained nothing. ''to breathe, OK''. ''Straightforward as that, OK. ' ' Simple logic ' '. ' ' For the guys
, it is … hahah. All I ' m doing below is just attempting to protect.

it around the back so it doesn ' t slide open, OK.So, its very first clip is this on the side. Steel clip mosts likely to metal, OK. After that you have a cross strap. And the idea behind this is to quit the entire. point riding up when you enter into the water, OK. So, first off, undo the Velcro on the strap. Prolong it completely. And after that you pass it in between your legs, OK. Plastic clip mosts likely to plastic clip. There it is. Tighten it up and any loose ends, roll it.
away. Primarily, with helicopter traveling, taking place.
board a constrained location, Ok, where you'' ve got harnesses and every little thing, you do not want.
any kind of unneeded, loosened, write-ups, OK.That could cause entrapment. So put whatever away. So, there ' s the coat up. Currently, if you were travelling offshore, there.
are evaluation panels. So when these are given out, this is a requirement.
location where you would find an assessment panel with an upkeep record. Some companies actually put it on the external.
side here. This would typically be rolled in right here however.
that a person'' s been utilized in course currently. It'' s just unravelled itself somewhat, OK. Training coats, the Velcro isn'' t in fact. that solid. So, in the water today we will start to open up.
a smidgen once they obtain a bit tight. Right here we have the life vest toggle, OK. That'' s the inflation for the life vest pack.
which goes up around the sides here and behind the head, OK.Other functions you have which you won'' t locate. on the training one however would get on the overseas version is this. This is a sprayer, spray visor. As soon as you'' re outside the helicopter, having. made your getaway, if you'' re externally of the water, you intend to protect your airway. from any type of splashes, wave breaking over, anything like that. Then you wear your sprayer, OK, and that'' s. it. You can take a breath underneath it and it prevents.
water getting involved in the respiratory tract. This buoy would be affixed inside the coat,.
which'' s seawater activated.And that ' s

your little emergency light that.
flashes away, OK. There'' s likewise a light on the jacket itself. when it opens up. So these behave, little, attributes, alright. However they'' re not mosting likely to get on your jacket
. today because when you enter the water, these have a habit of dropping out. They get on the breakable touchdown, yet it.
takes a little tension to really remove them. So therefore, you won'' t have one today,. OK. Currently, the EBS itself, the breathing system. These are used when you have time. So, in case of a ditching, if you have.
prior cautioning, OK. Helicopter enters into the water. Slowly immersing, you have time, after that you.
would certainly deploy this system and you would certainly trigger it, ideally, just over the water. So, when you do finish up undersea, after that you.
have the full breath benefit. The breath put in, and also the chargers inside.
the device, OK.And it'' s there simply to regulate your breathing,.
to give you time to push out your exits, and make a getaway, OK. So, today I'' ll give you direction, when.
to deploy it, when to use it. In a genuine situation the pilots, the aircrew,.
do not provide any kind of information on this. They may provide control and details and.
instructions relating to exiting an airplane, attempting to regulate an actual ditching, OK, a regulated.
ditching however, for this, they will not tell you when to utilize it.That ' s simply up to a specific'' s selection,.
OK. So, today I'' m mosting likely to tell you how to release. it.
When you enter contact with the water,. initially point you desire to do is find. Hand onto your departure, various other hand onto your. clasp, OK.
And after that you consider up what the scenario is.
doing. If'you were to go quickly underwater, after that. you ' re only alternative is, take a'big breath. That ' s all you can do. But today we ' re mosting likely to do it so you have. time, OK. So, you ' d situate first. Consider up the scenario, examine it. Then, I ' ll notify you to deploy your EBS. Constantly maintain your exit hand chosen your exit
. That ' s your only recommendation to make a getaway,.
OK. So, the hand on the leave remains locked on that. leave. Take the various other hand, your buckle hand.
Rise to your chin, find the little tag. here.This tag on top of the EBS device. Rip the bag open, thus, OK. Currently, in fact there will certainly additionally be stitches,. OK. There are little loops, OK, on the coat. You can nearly make one available, OK.'And in these loopholes there are little, cotton.
stitches. So, you ' re not simply pulling Velcro, you ' re. also rupturing stitches also. So, it needs to be a tug, OK.
What befalls is this: breathing holes, valve. setting up, mouth item, bit, red button there which is an activation toggle, and a. collection of nose clips to block off this air passage, OK. To ensure that urges you to take a breath simply with.
your mouth, alright. For those that have scuba diving dived or made use of a.
snorkel, it'' s the same mouth item. For those that never ever used that, OK, just how you.
put this in your mouth: your teeth remainder in the little lugs below, OK. So, your teeth are inside this location, OK, leading.
and base. Your lips go right over the exterior. And the very best method to consider it, is picture.
you'' re breathing via a tube, OK.Seal your lips around it and take a breath via. the centre. Don'' t take a breath around it, as in, like that. Since, if you grimace too much or
you bite. your teeth as well hard into this, it tightens up the corners of your lips and you won'' t just. simply absorb air'yet you ' ll trap water too. So, a good seal is essential, alright. Try, easier stated than done, try and stay.
as kicked back as you can with your jaw, alright, OK. OK, obviously, prior to you do anything.
underwater you'' ll have a lot of exercise with this, before that, OK. So, you release it. You put your mouth piece in your mouth. You put your nose clips up. One essential point is, make certain, before.
you place it in your mouth, that this little, silver button right here is in as for it goes,.
right into the body, OK.The reason for that, with the silver pin in.
below, it means, when you put this in your mouth, you'' re mosting likely to breathe with your. mouth, out via the side below. That ' s where the air passage goes. If this pin is like that, out, you'' re just. breathing simply for material to the system, Ok. So, make sure, before putting it in your.
mouth, that the pin is actually in all the method. It will certainly be however inspect, OK. Then, mouth piece in, nose clips on, this.
hand on the clasp. The various other hand is on your leave, OK. So, you'' re sitting there, taking a breath typical. air from the cabin, via the side shutoff. You ' re not going to be able to make a typical. emptying or an escape just over the water.You ' re currently

submerging rather quickly however you.
still have time. So the next stage is: You need to turn on,.
OK. So you would certainly take your fastening hand, OK. You then reach up to situate this little red.
stopper between your thumb and first finger, preferably, OK. Or you can hold, with your fingertips below,.
depending exactly how you find it, yeah. Locate. The next stage and this is the vital part. Absorb as huge a breath as you can handle. OK, so you take in. Hold that breath. As you hold your breath, capture. When you hear it go '' click ', take a breath out. What you'' ll see is the bag will start to pump up. around you. The breathing bladder that you'' re breathing. from is not just in here. It begins right here, goes all the means up the side.
of the jacket, around the rear of your head and it boils down this side. It'' s horse shoe formed, OK. Large quantity in it. So currently, you'' re breathing your own air. Once you'' ve done that, hand is back to bend. Your other hand gets on your exit. When the water degree comes up, to eye-level,.
and above, what do you start to do then? Count.You ' re breathing from this, and you are counting. The length of time do you count for? Do you Know? '''' ''Seven seconds. ' ' ' ' The magic 7 secs. Why seven secs? Due to the fact that blades might still be turning. A helicopter, normally, within a 7 2nd.
duration of submersion, it'' ll be, it ' s facets will be undecided. Whether it'' s going to begin to tip over or.
it'' s mosting likely to remain in an upright position.So, you constantly give it around seven seconds. prior to you think of getting away. Now, seven secs feels like an infinity,. OK. It really does, alright.
It ' s a long 7 secs of your life, OK. Specifically when you frantically desire to get. out of there. Yet you have to stay as regulated as you. can, yeah. When it concerns our leaves today, do your. own count, alright. That ' s my ideal suggestions for you. Don ' t go ' 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7' ' and just previously.
you go you notice that the individual opposite is still sitting there.You think '

OKAY, I may be a little bit quick. I ought to recount, 1,2' ' And the individual opposite you, via the water,.
they'' re type of obscured; see the form there, '' Oh they place ' t gone yet.' I ' ll wait till they go. ' You will certainly see individuals seeing each other, sweating,.
watching out the home window, similar to this, and thinking '' They ' re not going yet '. Which ' s it. And the following point is, they begin to get worried. A little panicky, and then you fire out.
the window. Do your own matter. When you get to what you really feel is 7 secs,.
make your escape.If you go too fast I will certainly inform you, OK. When you ' re not obtaining your hair damp I will.
inform you, OK. So, the idea is an underwater escape, alright. Yet keep in mind that today is an experience. It'' s not regarding having to fulfil a set requirement,.
OK. It'' s simply to offer you an experience, alright. So, we'' re quite simple on you, OK. And we'' re rather very easy on informing you, alright. Due to the fact that the last point we desire to do is enhance.
stress and anxiety, OK. Clear enough with that, thus far? So, you'' ve activated it. Head goes underwater. Beginning your matter to seven secs. After seven secs, next thing you do is … Now you guys, today, are mosting likely to be working.
with open leaves, OK. If you had a window in position, an emergency situation.
exit in place.The initial point

you would do, after 7. secs, is jettison
that emergency situation leave. So if it ' s not out, then you need to obtain rid.
of it, OK. Only when that exit is rejected, would you.
then consider launching your seatbelt harness. And after that make a getaway. The seatbelt harness is always the last thing.
to be eliminated. Why? Due to the fact that if you undo it and you haven'' t obtained. your exit out, you ' re currently drifting up into the roofing location of the helicopter. And you are not going to have the ability to obtain your.
leave out due to the fact that you are just going to be jumping off every little thing, OK. So, you always make certain you are totally restrained. Ensure your departure'' s totally clear. Your hand is on the exterior of the airplane. Getting a good hold. Then you launch your fastening. As quickly as you launch your buckle, you'' ll. begin to increase, OK. However due to the fact that your hand is chosen your departure,.
you'' ll go horizontal. And you will make a real great retreat, out.
of that airplane, OK.That ' s the idea. Clear sufficient on that, people? Any type of questions on this? If you desire the trivialities of it, the.
one huge breath that you take into the bag. They state, theoretically, regardless of age.
or physique, you need to access least 30 secs worth of air to re-breathe, in a shallow abandoning,.
just underneath the surface area of the water, OK. You should obtain around 30 seconds out of that.
one breath, OK. The gas chargers in there, which is simply purely,.
compressed air. 79% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, that'' s it, OK. Simply similar to what we take a breath naturally. That ought to give you a minimum of around 45.
secs worth of air. So, theoretically, it claims one min, 15. You'' re not going to invest one minute, 15 seconds.
under there, OK, alright.Basically, the idea

behind it is to give you. that tidal quantity, alright.
So, when you gasp, and go like that, with.
the chilly water, you have a tidal quantity that will actually prevent you from instantly having.
a restriction of air, and panicking. That'' s the concept, OK. That'''s it.
