CalSTAR helicopter lands for Solano College training – Daily Republic

By Adrienne Harris

Students studying emergency medical response at Solano Community College got a close look of a medical transport helicopter Wednesday after it landed on campus for a brief training exercise on trauma operations.

A California Shock Trauma Air Rescue crew of two flight nurses and a pilot demonstrated the landing process before emerging from the aircraft to deliver a briefing to a group of about 22 students.

Flight nurse Michelle Starbuck said helicopter responders are trained on how to work a scene, conduct hospital transfers and deliver “safe patient care quickly, efficiently and without killing anybody basically.”
