🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between rescue basket, rescue litter, rescue net, and "lift" configurations in helicopter operations • When the patient is conscious vs. unconscious and injured vs. ambulatory during a hoist • Which device is specifically designed to support and immobilize a single patient during vertical hoisting

💭 Think About

• Think about the condition of the crew member: are they likely to need spinal support, full-body support, or just a way to stand/sit while being hoisted? • Which option describes an actual piece of equipment versus a hoisting method or configuration? • In a medivac, what is the safest way to lift one injured person directly from a vessel up to a helicopter?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices refer to dedicated patient-carrying devices used in helicopter hoists • Consider which device is meant for one person at a time and provides full-body support and restraint • Verify in your training or manuals which term is commonly paired with the word "litter" in helicopter medical evacuations
