An inter-service rescue exercise took place at the Pau University Hospital, focused on enhancing the technical management of victims. The operation involved the deployment of the fire department's aerial ladder to evacuate a hospital worker who sustained a back injury after a fall on the premises.
This full-scale simulation served to test and improve the rescue chain, encompassing internal alerts by the hospital's security service, initial response by the Firefighters, coordinated technical procedures and medicalization with the SMUR (Mobile Intensive Care Unit), and swift transfer to the hospital's Emergency Department.
The exercise aimed to streamline communication and decision-making among all involved parties to ensure maximum effectiveness in real-life situations. Acknowledgment was given to the professionals dedicated daily to public safety.
