The Swedish Rescue Services Agency (SRSA) has for many years strived towards an efficient and rapid extrication technique that could be used in the ongoing training of fire & rescue service personnel. In the work to achieve a high quality extrication technique, it has been found necessary to be able to measure and compare whether or not the technique actually maintained a high level of quality. Therefore a question was raised whether an evaluation method with measurable parameters in addition to time could be developed. The aim of this project is to raise the question and to suggest possible techniques helpful as a tool to evaluate critical parts of the extrication process by measurements of quantifiable parameters. This is achieved by describingextrication techniques used in Norway, Sweden and the UK; describing a typical injury pattern among RTA casualties and potential techniques that could be used to quantify critical parts of the extrication process. The results showed that physical models of the human body, existing dummies and technologies could be used in the design of a future extrication dummy. Subsystems, some special parts and components could also be of interest.
