extrication

Extrication is the process of carefully removing a person from a vehicle or crash scene when they are trapped or unable to exit on their own. It involves assessing the situation to ensure safety, stabilizing the scene, and using specialized tools like hydraulic cutters, spreaders, and stabilization equipment to gently free the individual. The goal is to minimize further injury while quickly and safely extricating the person so they can receive medical care. It requires trained emergency responders who coordinate their efforts to perform the rescue efficiently and safely.
