You know it’s gonna be bad when a first responder curses when they get on the scene 😞
RIP Grant, I hope your family has found as much peace as possible under the circumstances
right, when i heard that man say "fuck" i knew it wasn't looking good *at all* for grant 😭😭
Also telling when they say "It's bad' on scene in front of family When I heard 3.5 liters of fluid went in before they could get a pulse back - he only had about 5 liters total to start - incredible resuscitation, and not a surprise he could not survive.
To be entirely fair, most of the time, the "Fuck" is when we're getting the call. We get call notes, look at our partners go "well this is gonna fucking suck". He didn't know what was going on until he literally looked at the kid. I've walked into stuff blind that has shocked me into swearing (welfare check turned into person down, etc) for sure, and it's never good.
Rest In Peace young Grant. I am an organ recipient. It’s so terrible to hear of the loss of a young life. Thank you Grant’s family for choosing to save other lives in the middle of the loss of your dear boy.
I’m too a recipient of two lungs thanks to my Donor and their family ❤ Bless You
I am a organ recipient (kidney), 3 years ago next tuesday. Thinking of all the organ donors
I'm almost speechless.. I'm so touched on both ends of the situation. I've 😢 for both sides. It's a blessing that science has come this far, that we as human beings can save another person's life. I'm an organ donor and I hope that if God forbid something happened to me, I could save another person's life.
Rest in peace young man 🙏 . Im a registered as a organ donor when I die I hope I can give someone help to carry on 🙏
My sister's corneas let someone see. Her cartilage helped someone walk. Her body helps scientists understand spina bifida. I hope somewhere there's a person who can now see her favorite orange day lilies.
As mother of a daughter whose heart stopped twice and who was airlifted to Sydney hospital and was saved due to getting her as fast as possible to emergency and surgeons waiting on her....I will forever be grateful for this life saving service❤️
I lost a loved one in a car accident due to blood loss. The fact that this amazing man held this young mans neck for all that time just to try and keep his blood loss controlled is commendable. I could only wish we had someone like him in our area that day. He deserves so much credit for his efforts. Thank you sir for all you do!
My dad fell 13 feet from a tree stand while deer hunting in the winter. He broke his back in 2 places and 4 ribs. If it hadn't been for Care Flight, he would have died. He was deep in the woods and an ambulance couldn't get to him. Thank you for all you do!
I am flying as a critical care paramedic for 15 years now in Austria, you`ve never get "normal" for such a call !!! It is always a thrill and you do your very best !!! god bless my colleagues from the UK on every run !!!
Christian Haselwanter- Grasl

Thank you for what you do. It really means a lot, especially knowing what you go through day to day.
Great job, Christian …. God bless you, too

Bless Grant's family for the difficult decision to donate his organs. Their dedication to helping others makes them angels.
I am a retired paramedic in the United States and much respect to the dispatchers,Pilots, Medics, and doctors. It takes a special breed of people to do the things that you do and to handle each incident the way you do. Keep doing what you do best because you truly are angels sent from above. God bless everyone!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would love to do that, but hurt my spine head to toes....can I just fly the helo?? PLEASEEEEEE??
Thank you to the first responders the helicopter team and the hospital team. You all fought hard to save the young man's life!
The closest I've been to saving a life in person was helping a young man who was heavily intoxicated and passed out, smashed the side of his head on the bonnet of a car and landed on broken glass from the wine bottle he was holding. I had my young son with me at the time. I ended up sitting on the ground holding the young man in recovery position with one hand while monitoring his breathing and state of consciousness and cuddling my son close to me with the other hand all while on the phone with emergency services. I still wonder how he is and my son was very worried, but after a long talk about why I helped him he was very understanding and accepting. What these first responders see all day every day is absolutely incredible and so often heart breaking. I am in awe of them.
Andy seems like such a gentle soul. Whoever filmed all those emotions going across Andy's face while he was at the desk waiting for updates on the kid with the neck injury captured the most touching film footage I, personally, have ever seen. It was all there. The concern, compassion, fear, devastation when he heard there was no pulse, hope and relief when they got the pulse back. Watching his love for his fellow man absolutely brought me to tears. Wow!
Said it all!!!
I’m a firefighter from the United States and it’s cool seeing how medical helicopters from other countries work
Is it very different?
@@Altorac Very
@@Altorac A ride in a medevac helicopter in the USA could set you back like $40,000USD. While in the UK I think it is mostly free.
@@josef5319can confirm the $40k cost.. I was taken by helicopter to a larger hospital when I was born because I was two months early and not breathing. My parents didn’t have any insurance, they had to sell our house to pay off the bill. This was in 2005. The helicopter was something like $20k and the rest of the medical expenses (two months in nicu) was around $100k
@@josef5319several years ago my better half & I lived in a more remote area of OK & since he was disabled, we paid around $100 a month for emergency air service. Thankfully we never had to use their services; but, were thankful that we had it if we ever needed it.
I can’t imagine the thrill of saving another person’s life. All I did one time in my 70 years was find a little lost boy, close to a lake filled with alligators. It was my hero moment and the biggest thrill of my life. If I never accomplish another thing in my life, I feel like I was put here for that reason. These people are heroes in my book.
I have had the good fortune to do it two times: first, in third grade on a school field trip to a pool, my classmate jumped in to the deep end but he couldn't swim. I noticed he wasn't able to get his face above water and was panicking, so with one hand I held onto the edge of the pool and with the other I grabbed him by his hair and pulled him over. At the time I was too young to really comprehend why his mother was so grateful when he told her ans why the school gave me a special certificate for it. I just figured he was in trouble, I could help, so I helped.
Second time happened when a child I was babysitting choked on a hot dog. I'd taken first aid training a month prior in school by good fortune and I knew how to do a proper stomach blow technique.
First responders mean the world to me because they helped me through one of the scariest things to ever happen to me in college. Thank you first responders ♥️
Was really hoping Grant pulled through but sadly with such an injury theres very little chance for survival. His family made a tough but very good decision in donating his organs. I signed up on the way home from my mates funeral who also died in a very horrific accident.
Thank you! That could save any of us or our loved ones. ❤❤❤
It almost has to happen in the emergency room to have a chance.
Poor lad didn’t survive
Grants family where so brave through the whole thing, they stayed as calm and collected as one could in such a scenario. Definitely vital to first responders when time is not on the patients side, it allows everyone to focus on the patient and less on consoling the family. I just knew there was no way he could’ve survived an injury like that, but I just couldn’t help but hope that he would pull through. RIP
So sorry for Grant and his family, a life taken too young, Rip.
Great work by the Air Ambulance crew, who did everything possible to get a better outcome.
We need more SURGEONS!
Kiddies, please hit the books and make a difference!!
I wish i could go back
Grant, you may have lost your life, but so many others live because of you. You saved their lives.
This is so intense. When they're working on a patient I find myself holding my breath. If I were hurt, this is who I would want to treat me. Amazing team. The heart and compassion is out of this world! God Bless You All.
When i go to my hosand see the air ambulance i always think oh no thats bad , on the other hand people's lives are saved .. bless
Running a code with no blood available on a cramped staircase. Circumstances couldn't be worse. Bravo to these workers!
We need more teams like this where there are Dr's and nurses on scene. I believe more lives could be saved. Only problem in the USA is since Covid so many Dr's have retired that there is such a shortage of Dr's available in hospitals, that we cannot afford to have Dr's on scene. 😔 OUR world is falling apart.
I respect these medical helpers so very much.....❤
So sad that Grant was a dad-to-be.. Rest in peace & respect for the team
It is sad. Probably never heard of birth control like condoms. Now the mom possibly the same age is stuck being a single mom
@@20PINKluvr Lol
The sailor patient was a nice reprieve. Man fell from a great hight, likely broke both feet, is clearly in pain, says level is a 5.
Thats Russian for 8-9.5.
Bless the Dr and Paramedics, they really do give their all... Healing love to the young lads parents and Aunt. 😢
I love watching these air ambulance shows from the UK and other countries...I don't think they'll ever have doctors on board the helicopters in the US...I work in the ED and did flight nursing for a bit it was exciting yet emotionally draining as it gets when taking care of critical patients...kudos to all that are first responders.
This was five years ago. So sad. I lost my husband 5 years ago. They are in Heaven we each other. Prayers to this young man’s family.
I really enjoy these videos. As a retired First Responder I have worked RTC and other events and often was the first on scene requiring me to quickly assess and provide CPR until help arrived. I only lost one patient thru my efforts and was gratified to know I did my best. When God is calling a soul home no man will be able to act. I retired as a Captain in the police force. Yet every time I watch these videos my adrenaline starts pumping calling me to act. I'll never lose the instinct to act to help others so I volunteer now with a Community Emergency Response Team.
Thank you all for your dedication, and your service
Thank You Sir! For your Service to mankind!!🤗
May God Bless each of your flight team ❤
RIP to that young man.
So sorry for their loss. Rest in Peace Grant.
😢😢 So Sorry to hear about Grant. Such a young soul gone too soon. 😢But his organs were given for a good case and that’s always a good thing. My condolences 💐 to his family
I love how EMS treats each person with the dignity they deserve no matter the age!! Often times, elderly get lost in the shuffle and with EMS, if we can help it, you will live a healthy productive life until Jesus brings you to your final resting place! Good job team!
I love how he says that he'll do anything to get a person to the ER, no matter who they are and how slim their chances are. I have so much respect for them and their motivation to save lives.
These guys are amazing. The work they do is so valuable.
Absolute respect to this team.
ditto
💯 💯 💯 ‼️‼️‼️
I am impressed with the air ambulance crews . I have always dreamt of being a paramedic thinking of joining the local volunteer paramedics. But the air ambulance would be my pick over all the jobs I would want .... keep up the good work guys and keep saving those lives as they matter to someone
Get physically fit yourself. If you can't be an asset, you become a liability. Running to an accident with a full pack will take you out. Climbing a few flights of stairs to start CPR, will take you out. Environmental factors and lack of support staff add to an already touch and go situation
Bless you gentlemen, you deserve much recognition and praise. Thank you from Vermont.
May God bless the soul of Grant & all his family. 🙏❤️😥 So very sad. Sorry for all involved.
Condolences to the family of the 17 year old young man who passed away so tragically in his home, just doing his daily duties. May they have peace knowing his life meant life or health to others.
Thank God I survived getting stabbed in the carotid artery but I came damn close I live in Japan and we have something similar to the air Ambulance here but they are way more trained each doctor for the Doctor Heli unit I was transported by is trained in emergency surgical procedures and they worked on me for a bit at the scene before transporting me because of them putting some stitches In my wound I survived long enough to make it to the OR and now I work with that same unit and I am forever grateful
Amazing what can be done with modern medicine
My heart goes out to the family of the young man Grant Adams. I'll b praying for u! For peace & stability n this awful time. I'm so sry for the loss of ur loved son & possibly brother, nephew etc. He was lost way way too soon. It shows ur big hearts n donating his organs to help someone else n ur time of grief. I hope that brings some comfort knowing a part of him lives on n others. God bless all of u from Mt. Gilead Ohio. 💛🖤💛
It is crazy that falling down stairs can kill you. RIP Grant Adams
A sobering reminder of the fragility of life - to be 17 and to die suddenly from a freak accident is truly sad. Glad he became a donor. Not sure I would want my death or my son's death to be a TV show though...
I just choked on tears. I was hoping Grant would survive. 😔 how heartbreaking.
You guys and gals are top notch! I really like the way healthcare is set up in the UK. Pretty sure a helicopter ride to the er in the USA would cost more than I could pay in my lifetime.
Sad but so true
I love this documentary series of Air Ambulance ER. Repeatedly watching it again. 😍😍👍👍👍 please don't take out this documentary. 💕
This is a heartbreaking job this is something beyond human to focus and do everything you can for the person life heart my heart bleeds for all of these people lifelong work for live and the heartache of loved ones. I don’t think my mind would be able to hold this kind of pain for everyone. Thank you guys for being able to offer your life’s healing and hard work and decisions to do this. I have no words for how amazing all of you guys just incredible
How does Dr. Dion do it, working 7 days a week? Unbelievable and dedicated.
That's exactly what I thought. What an amazing human being
My thoughts exactly, Hes truly a hero IMO. He gives up all his time, dedicating himself to saving lives every day he can. What an amazing guy
Dion and the team gave it their all and more. I would entrust you with my son’s life anytime.
Such a good point about the lack of care for others when running into traffic. Really tough for the car driver and the truck driver. ❤
Dion is a great doctor and adorable!😉
In the netherlands the doctor out of the helicopter always get transported by a police car to the accident they should do that everywhere!
So sad for Grant's family
I love this show its so unreal what they go through! God bless u all!
You men, and women are doing a wonderful service to your community, and the patients you help. I salute you, and I want to thank you for your service! May God bless each and every one of you!
Yall are such a special breed of people. I admire what you do and so very thankful for everyone of you. May God bless You!
You're all so lucky having the capability and capacity to have such medical system , while in the Philippines, poor people accept their final days for they know no one can help .😢
😞
The only thing that might have saved Grant would be to have had a full on trauma surgery room in the basement of the house. With a fridge full of blood. The injury was across the main veins of his neck. Humans are designed badly; an injury THERE usually means bleeding out VERY quickly. As fast as help got there, it was still too late.
His family did a wonderful thing, donating his organs. So many other families got to keep their loved ones, because Grant's family were able to rise above their own terrible grief, to do something generous.
I have it on my Canadian health insurance card; I am an organ donor. My family knows as well, when the time comes, if any part of me can help someone else, they can have it.
Have that family discussion. I know it sounds morbid and awful, but it is also a way to let someone save others at the moment of their own passing.
So lovely that you were able to explain this situation to non medical personnel. It's clear that you are top expert in the world of trauma med. Smfh
Thank you, Sandra; couldn't have said it better myself. Utterly amazed that they got him back the once...but it's a testament to their skills and abilities. As for organ donations--YES! I've been a donor prospect since I was old enough to make that decision and my parents knew my wishes long before that.
have had my canadian one signed since age 16 will be 54 next month. my 4 kids all signed theirs at 16 as well because their father needed a heart transplant. sadly he wasn't able to get one as the team felt he wouldn't survive the after surgery issues and passed away just a few days after his 47th birthday in 2011 after 25 yrs of marriage. u can't expect someone to be willing to donate their organs to your loved ones unless u are also willing to donate yours should something bad happen. hopefully more ppl will donate their organs so others may live longer since we don't need them once we have passed.
Humans and animals are WONDERFULLY designed...
Ive seen it happen, its scary how fast someone can bleed out. Theres very little that can be done, though i was hoping he would pull through. But you know its going to be bad in this case, first they were diverted then to be told the ambo crew IMMEDIATELY rang for medivac and then the docs first reaction just shows how bad the scene really was. I feel deeply for the family its hard enough to witness it happening to anyone let alone a relative. Poor kid didnt stand a chance.
Much Respect To All Of Them
yes, indeed... Greetings to Belfast
These are terrific shows!
thank you for sharing
You guys are amazing!
God bless this team.
"A TH-cam clip comin' on here", indeed!! 😊😂😁
It really is amazing though, some of these calls they do! 😷🤒🤕😲😭
What wonderful people ,the medical teams are ,it would be lovely if all the people in the world were like that,but sadly lots of people just want to kill and maim.Thank you all you beautiful people, of the emergency teams....
@22:56 Holy shyte... that's an Edgley Optica!!! I didn't think those were still flying! Pretty interesting aircraft from an design perspective.
It’s really interesting seeing the difference between American prehospital critical care and British. We don’t typically have Doctors on our air ambulances, but specialized paramedics that can do those types of procedures.
well, unfortunately: most people don't know how many calls an Air-med can run if the 🚁 has a full tank of fuel
It's very rare in the US for intubation to be done on scene, and even rarer for some more advanced methods that UK paramedics are able to do (such as ECMO on scene). I feel like if the US was like this a ton more people would live.
@@AccidentallyOnPurpose I'm not sure where you are in the US, but I worked for 21yrs in NJ as a paramedic and we routinely did pre-hospital intubations, including RSI. In NJ paramedics are only dispatched on calls which meet the criteria for potential life/limb loss. Consequently, we are specialists -- we don't stay with patients who are BLS level. I know in some parts of the country medics staff all calls, but that means the % of pts they see in a year who need critical care skills is much, much smaller.
10:06 Bad! 9:02 This is my 2nd attempt to try and watch this particular case…! I stopped the first time knowing that cardiac arrest due to volume loss it/was a lost cause. If that’s not the case here then the advancement in, on the scene trauma is astonishing! Very recently, he wouldn’t have made it out the door alive. If they can accomplish that, WOW! That’s absolutely incredible…..and too impressive not to try and watch! I’ve got to know, regardless of the cost.
10:36 I suspect from the blank looks on the faces of the family members, they’re completely clueless to the fact that he’s dead at the moment! If he can raise the volume, stop the bleeding (left jugular and/carotid I think) and restart the heart! I’ll be blown away! I have no idea what the long term risks are because I’ve never had it come up. I hope that’s changed.
16:10 I am amazed they even got the 17 year old, male to hospital….. don’t know his short or long term prognosis, I just so impressed they got him this far.
This guy is so lucky i wish they did a follow up
One of the coolest things I've ever seen on TH-cam!
Bad ass.. "we have the skills to stay and play and not scoop and run"..
That was so painfully sad. 😢
thanks
Rip young Grant
Poor Andy back at base waiting for updates.
I don't think CPR would have helped if he had no blood to pump, he was essentially out of luck without an immediate blood transfusion on scene.
RIP Grant
37:23 oh wow you can really see how off his color is, I'm shocked he's still stable with the accident they described.
This is one of those “Nightmare” calls that are just so bad, you emotionally struggle to hold it together and can’t forget about it. As someone who wants to start an air ambulance service, this is one of those calls we hope we never have to be dispatched to.
After any call, I would require the responding flight crew(s) to spend at least an hour in our facility’s quiet space unless another call is received.
After a call like this, I would ask the flight crew to stay in the quiet space and require them to rest the remainder of their shift. The person who remains the most calm after a call like this would receive a “Zen Monk Award” with a small gift like yoga mats, incense fountains, baoding balls, and zen bowls.
I watched all episodes. Why is so short?!
The team really done very good jobs!!
Closed captioning plzzzz
poor boy was left bleeding out for hours until his body ran out of blood. they suspect he woke up during the night and fell. it was until his uncle awoke in the morning and called paramedics
Rest in peace GRANT😇
I saw this before. I remembered how it turned out.
Patient should’ve immediately gone straight to theater
I love these videos but, they are hard to watch. I’m a retired ER nurse, not because I wanted to, I miss it tremendously. I defied the Doctors but, 6 years after my 3 back surgery and severe arthritis, the Doctors won, I taught a good fight. It wasn’t my career it was my life.
I was taken off the ship in a crane bucket when I was in the Navy and became ill!. I started laughing when we were in the air. I didn't get any helicopter ride though.
Did I understand it right that at 15:03 his heart stopped beating again? If so, I dont understand their reaction. Why dont they start CPR again and instead bring him out of the ER?
I could hear the monitor sound continuing, and I didn't hear anyone say his heart stopped again at that point.
@@ahwell9984 But what happened?
Heroes, of note
Foam blocks to hold everything in place
I've seen some other episodes of this where the crews carry blood, hopefully they all do now, dont really see why they wouldn't; can be a huge benefit in some cases, doctor was definitely missing it in helping this boy
They can` t give blood without knowing his blood- type. Instead they give a special type of fluid designed for those who have lost a lot of blood.
@@helensandenskauge3469 You can give O- type blood to anyone regardless of blood type, that’s why it’s in such high demand (I have it and the local Red Cross contacts me when the reserves are low in case I can donate right then).
The problem comes with storing it, it only stays good for a short while and I believe needs to be refrigerated. This poor young man simply had so much blood loss that the few units they may have had on them would not have given them them much, if any extra time to save him. If the wound was still open likely all blood given to him would just have bled out too within minutes.
speaking as a paramedic who wondered this before i came into the field, blood products usually can’t be carried because they require specific temperatures to maintain usability. This would mean a refrigerator unit is necessary and unfortunately most ambulances and helicopters designed for premedicine don’t have nearly enough room - it sucks because it would be so helpful but slowly it’s becoming more common with vehicle/aircraft design changes :-)
Some of them do, but probably not enough to have saved the young man
People with O negative blood are universal donors they can give it to anyone. People with O positive blood are universal recipients.
I wonder why Grant died two days later. I would have thought if you get him into surgery with a pulse his chances would be pretty decent.
Or was there just too much brain damage after ~halve an hour without a working carotid artery? This would fit him qualifying for organ donation.
He was an organ donor, and yes, it was the blood loss that killed him.
Im surprised you all can fit in the flat!! Can you guys do CPR if he arrested?? Our helicopters are much smaller and they have to land if their pt goes into arrested, just too small to do CPR...
This was my dream job...but the universe said no...got to EMT
Here, if you are slow...you NEVER say the "Q" word...Quiet" ❤❤😂
Rip grant
I call all police officer and ambulance emt is paramedic is hero help any one life go to the hospital in er.if any one got very sick .
What was the need for them to go to the young man who fell on the ship? Didn’t seem that emergent
Two broken ankles, did you expect him to walk himself to the hospital? 😂
Because it was a suspected spinal injury.
Why did the police pull up a blue cloth
There's so many chopper crashes
