Abstract

Ambulance exchange points are preidentified sites where patients are transferred between evacuation platforms while en route to enhanced medical care. We propose a new capability for maritime medical evacuation, which involves co-opting underway watercraft as overwater ambulance exchange points to transfer patients between medical evacuation aircraft. We partnered with the US Army's 25th Combat Aviation Brigade to demonstrate the use of Army watercraft as overwater ambulance exchange points. A manikin was transferred between 2 HH-60M medical evacuation Black Hawk helicopters conducting hoist operations over Army Logistics Support Vessel 3, which was traveling south of Honolulu, HI. The demonstration was enabled by a decision support system for dispatching aircraft, hoist stabilization technology, commercial satellite internet, military geospatial infrastructure applications, and digital medical documentation tools, the benefits of which are all discussed. Three extensions of the overwater ambulance exchange point are introduced, and civilian applications are considered.
船只作为水上救护交换点以加强空中医疗后送
救护车交换点是预先确定的地点,病人在前往加强医疗护理的途中在疏散平台之间转移。我们提出了一种新的海上医疗后送能力,其中包括选择正在航行的船只作为水上救护车交换点,在医疗后送飞机之间转移病人。我们与美国陆军第25战斗航空旅合作,演示使用陆军船只作为水上救护车交换点。2架HH-60M医疗后送黑鹰直升机在陆军后勤支援船3号上执行提升作业,这艘船正在夏威夷檀香山以南行驶。演示通过调度飞机的决策支持系统、提升机稳定技术、商业卫星互联网、军事地理空间基础设施应用和数字医疗文档工具实现,并讨论了这些工具的好处。介绍了水上救护交换点的三种扩展形式,并考虑了其民用应用。
