Mataram, W Nusa Tenggara (ANTARA) - Some 15 staff members of the medical team of the Mataram City Regional General Hospital (RSUD), West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), will partake in a patient handling simulation at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit.
The simulation is conducted in preparing for the implementation of World Superbike (WSBK), with attendees comprising 25 thousand spectators on November 19-21, 2021.
“Our medical staff will participate in the simulation held on Tuesday," Director of the Mataram City RSUD, Ni Ketut Eka Nurhayati, stated here on Monday.
The activity is a rehearsal to check the staff members' preparedness as well as to demonstrate technical emergency evacuation – both by air or by land -- without any escort.
The city hospital's director noted that the 15 staff members were a medical team comprising specialist doctors, general practitioners, and nurses.
"They will join the medical team of the NTB Provincial Hospital and other district or city hospitals," she stated.
Earlier, on Sunday, Nurhayati and President Director of the NTB Provincial Hospital, Herman Mahaputra, had conducted a trial flight and landing using a helicopter of the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) on the helipad of the provincial hospital.
The helicopter will be used for air medical evacuation if any rider meets with an accident and is referred from the circuit’s medical center to the NTB Provincial Hospital.
"If we use the air route, it will only take about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, using the land route through the bypass road without any escort will take about 40 minutes," Nurhayati stated.
Hence, Nurhayati assessed that Basarnas’ helicopter is an effective form of assistance, as it can expedite the handling of emergency patients.
"Earlier, we just attempted to figure out about the distance between the circuit and the hospital as well as how the route plan and landing process would be. Meanwhile, the simulation on Tuesday will also involve the medical team and patient handling process," she added.
