Sorry, accidently deleted the first thread.
At ICAR this year there was a new recommendation for positional probing in some burial situations: buried longer then 35 mins, flatish burial location, and plenty of resources available (ie not everyone is digging) The idea is to try to figure out the orientation of the patient in the snow so you can dig towards the torso and not a foot, etc. The technique is pretty simple to explain, when you get a probe strike you leave it in place, get a new probe, and using your preferred probing technique( spiral or grid) get another probe strike, and keep repeating until you get a good idea of the patients orientation and hopefully figure out where the torso is. There was a lot of discussion around this and questions of trying to do this in the chaos of a rescue. Thoughts?
