Simulation of the Alyeska Method of High Performance CPR in a rescue toboggan As discussed in the NSP Fall 2016, Volume 34, Issue 1 of Ski Patrol magazine.

Alyeska Resort​ Ski Patrol was challenged by our medical director to see if we could effectively perform Hi Performance CPR in a Cascade Rescue Company​ rescue toboggan while in transit, complete with application of an AED. Over the last few years we have developed a system that is being called the Alyeska Method. The National Ski Patrol​ magazine has published our findings and comments from our medical director. In conjunction with the development of the method, and continuing training for our pro patrol, I put together this edit that we hope illustrates some of the techniques we have incorporated. Please share far and wide!
