It is a privilege to work with people who are so dedicated to our community, and our recent collaboration with Common Threads was a powerful reminder of that.

Common Threads does the incredible work of bringing gardening, nutrition, and environmental education to children right here in Bellingham. We were honored to provide their team of volunteers and educators with Basic First Aid and CPR/AED training.

Their commitment to not only educate, but also to protect, is truly commendable. They are building a safer and healthier community from the ground up, and we were so humbled to support their mission.

After assessing the situation, we have determined that emergency evacuation support is not required. While the injury is not life-threatening, the pain levels are high, and continuing the trek is no longer an option. Our priority is to end the trip and get our friend to a dentist as soon as possible.

However, safety remains our number one rule. We will not rush into hazardous conditions just to get back faster. If the terrain is tricky or light is fading, we will camp here for the night, ensure our friend is as comfortable as possible, and begin our safe descent first thing tomorrow morning.

Instructor Highlight: Sahale Delcampo

We’re so grateful to have Sahale on our team! She works with our Remote EMT and Wilderness First Responder students, bringing her experience as both a wildland fire responder and an Emergency Room Technician right into the classroom. Her dedication to each group that comes through shows in everything she does, and we couldn’t be prouder to have her shaping the next generation of remote medical providers.

Maintaining a patent airway is the cornerstone of emergency and critical care medicine. Mastering these fundamentals is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.

Key Principles:
• Assess for signs of airway compromise before intervention
• Position patients appropriately (head-tilt-chin-lift or jaw thrust)
• Use the least invasive effective method
• Ensure suction equipment is readily accessible
• Monitor continuously with ETCO2, SpO2, and clinical assessment

Remember: The best airway is one the patient can maintain independently. Escalate interventions only when necessary.

Following up from your questions on why consent matters: Expressed consent means your patient clearly agrees after being informed. Implied consent applies when they can’t communicate due to injury, altered mental status, or life-threatening emergency.

In remote settings where you’re the only provider, knowing this distinction protects both patient and practitioner.
