Prolonged Casualty Care (PCC) has become an essential component to Special Operations Forces (SOF) pre-mission training. However, it has not regularly been required in recent combat operations with the availability of medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) support. Poor weather conditions at an austere SOF outpost created an emergency unreachable by aeromedical evacuation. Herein, we report a case of an emergency bilateral above-the-knee amputation procedure performed by three Special Forces Medical Sergeants (18D(a), 18D(b), and 18D(c)) and supporting Army medics with minimal telemedicine consult and guidance.
长时间伤员救治(Prolonged Casualty Care,PCC)已成为特种作战部队(Special Operations Forces,SOF)任务前训练的重要组成部分。然而,在最近的战斗行动中,由于医疗后送(Medical Evacuation,MEDEVAC)的支持,它并没有被定期要求。在一个艰苦的 SOF 前哨恶劣的天气条件下,医疗后送变得紧急且无法到达。在此,我们报告了一个由三名特种部队军医(18D(a)、18D(b)和 18D(c))和支持的陆军医务人员在最小的远程医疗咨询和指导下进行的紧急双侧膝上截肢手术的病例。
