This little scenario put some more tools in the guy’s hands.  We jammed a metal ring around a dummy’s arm.  The goal was to cut the ring off without cutting the coat or dummy.

A couple points to remember that will make sense as you check out the pictures:

• A mechanism to cool the material being cut is needed so you don’t burn the patient.  In this case we ran IV fluid to cool the material.
• If the patient is pinned in a particular position, be sure to protect other body parts.
• Stabilize the material being cut.  Some of our tools spin at high speeds and could bounce or kick.
• Put something between the material being cut and the patient.  In this case we used a spatula.
