Abstract

Early in the author's deployment in the United States Air Force to southern Iraq, his unit was exposed to the first of many mass casualties sent to his Expeditionary Medical Support System unit. Within minutes of the injured military members' arrival, the four-bed evaluation station was transformed into an open bay trauma room where patients were treated and supported until they could be evacuated to more definitive care. Patients were transitioned with awe-inspiring speed and professionalism to Critical Care Air Transport teams for care during aeromedical evacuation. The lessons learned from the frequency of these events are valuable to any similar transport case with critically ill and injured patients.

摘要

在作者随美国空军部署到伊拉克南部的早期，他所在的部队迎来了首批被送往其远征医疗支援系统部队的众多大规模伤亡人员。受伤的军事人员抵达后几分钟内，这个四张床位的评估站就变成了一个开放式创伤室，在这里对患者进行治疗和支持，直到他们能够被转移到更完善的医疗救治机构。患者们以令人惊叹的速度和专业素养被转交给重症护理空中运输团队，以便在航空医疗后送过程中接受护理。从这些频繁发生的事件中吸取的经验教训，对任何涉及危重伤病患者的类似运输情况都很有价值。
