Suspension Trauma Mock drill (Education Purpose only).

Suspension trauma is a potentially fatal condition that can happen to someone who is suspended in a harness following a fall. It is sometimes referred to as harness hang syndrome or orthostatic intolerance. A prolonged time of immobility while hanging in a safety harness is a potential consequence of using a fall arrest system, like a safety harness, to keep someone from hitting the ground. Suspension trauma is caused by the body's natural reaction to standing upright and stationary for a long time. Reduced circulation results from blood pooling in the lower extremities when hung because of gravity. Consequently, the heart receives insufficient blood flow, potentially leading to a decrease in blood pressure. Less oxygen reaches the brain and other essential organs as a result of this reduced blood flow, which can cause symptoms like lightheadedness, nausea, dizziness, sweating, paleness, and a fast heartbeat. In severe cases, if the person is not rescued quickly, it can result in unconsciousness, organ failure, and even death. Timely rescue and medical attention are essential to prevent suspension trauma. A rescue plan's significance and the dangers of suspension trauma are among the topics covered in fall protection training. Fall arrest system users and employers should be aware of the warning signs and the urgency of taking immediate action to avoid dangerous outcomes. To lower the risk until assistance arrives, self-rescue methods or equipment made to relieve pressure on the legs while suspended may also be used. In industries where working at heights is common, understanding suspension trauma is essential because it emphasizes the significance of fall prevention as well as quick response and rescue procedures to protect workers' safety and wellbeing in such circumstances. The length of suspension increases the risk of suspension trauma. People who have been rescued may still be vulnerable to complications because of the effects of decreased oxygen and blood flow during the immobilization period.
