The transcription discusses different options for extricating a patient in various situations. These options include using a sked for patients who have fallen over a trail or for aerial transport, using improvised litters made from available materials, and using a patient's own bike for transport. Walking the patient out using their bike is also mentioned as an alternative method. Select each of the following extrication options to learn more. A sked may be used to extricate a patient who has fallen over the side of a trail or to prepare for an aerial transport. It may also be used to place into a litter for further transport. Improvised litters are those that are fashioned from materials the rescuer is carrying with themselves or from the patient's belongings as well as items in the environment. Common items include ropes, trekking poles, and pack frames. For more details, refer to the NSP Mountain Travel and Rescue, or NORDIC, training manuals. A patient's own bike may be a viable mean of transport for patrons with injuries where they can maintain a sitting position. A patroller walking the patient out of the patient's bike may be an alternative method to get a patient to further care.
