<p>[quote user="Overmod"](Of course it takes time to do these things, and then more time to undo them, and if there is an accident or medical emergency in that time there will still be problems... it's not precision scheduled crossing opening.)[/quote]</p> <p>Doesn't sound very practicable too in 20 minutes time frame.</p> <p>[quote user="Overmod"]Simple. You move some portion of the train between the air compressors and the failed hose. [/quote]</p> <p>What when the failed air hose is between head end and first possible crossing?</p> <p>[quote user="Overmod"]Had this been a heart attack. But it was not, and more significantly known to be not.[/quote]</p> <p>They were just lucky. Next time it could be a heart attack and matter.</p> <p>[quote user="Overmod"]However, since this argues in favor of faster and more directed first response, it is difficult to assess whether the 'right' answer is to have the necessary methods available on the response vehicles in the first place (which is where it would be most effective to apply them) or to reduce absolute transport time.[/quote]</p> <p>The answer differs from country to country I think. In Germany in case of a heart attack additionally to the paramedics an emergency medical physician is sent. Each ambulance is equipped accordingly defibrillator, ECG etc.). But the best they can usually do is to stabilize the patient for transport.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
