Abstract
En 中文
Prolonged evacuation intervals, infrastructure disruption, and contested environments increasingly prevent timely access to surgical care for casualties with ongoing hemorrhage or contamination. Prior operational reports, including the Joint Medical Augmentation Unit (JMAU) experience, have shown that emergency life- and limb-saving surgical intervention can occur in flight when required. The present manuscript addresses a different problem: how to train teams for intentional fixed-wing transport of a casualty whose operative needs may begin, continue, or recur during evacuation.
