Abstract
Objective
To review the impact of the special environment of the aeromedical evacuation on the patients with military traumatic brain injury in order to provide reference for the medical practice in the military medical service.
Literature resource and selection
The related literatures published at home and abroad were selected.
Literature quotation
Thirty-eight literatures were cited.
Literature synthesis
Military traumatic brain injury is a common injury during the war. In order to improve the success rate of the treatment of military traumatic brain injury patients, it is very important to ensure the rapid and safe evacuation. Aeromedical evacuation is a medical evacuation method that transported the sick or the wounded by aircrafts. By aeromedical evacuation, the military traumatic brain injury patients can arrive to the rear hospital in the shortest time, get effective medical treatment and guarantee the rehabilitation. However, such special circumstances of aviation medical evacuation as the changes on acceleration, air pressure, temperature, and oxygen concentration that would be experienced in flight, can lead to a series of physiological and pathological changes on the sick and the wounded. These changes may increase the risk of military traumatic brain injury, lead to certain aggravation of the sick and the wounded.
Conclusions
In the process of evacuating 3traumatic brain injury patients, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of various unfavorable factors and reduce the occurrence of complications.
Key words:
Aviation; Craniocerebral trauma; Air ambulance; Aeromedical evacuation
期刊介绍:
The aim of Chinese Journal of Aerospace Medicine is to combine theory and practice, improve and popularize, actively advocate a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, advocate seeking truth from facts, promote the development of the related disciplines of aerospace medicine and human efficiency, and promote the exchange and penetration of aerospace medicine and human efficiency with other biomedical and engineering specialties.
Topics of interest for Chinese Journal of Aerospace Medicine include:
-The content of the journal belongs to the discipline of special medicine and military medicine, with the characteristics of multidisciplinary synthesis and cross-penetration, and mainly reflected in the aerospace industry, aerospace flight safety and efficiency, as well as the synthesis of special medicine, preventive medicine, environmental medicine, psychology, etc.
-Military aeromedicine (Air Force, Navy and Army aeromedicine) and civil aeromedicine, with a balance of aerospace medicine are the strengths of the journal.
-The change in aerospace medicine from a focus on promoting physiological compensatory adaptations to enhancing human performance under extreme environmental conditions is what the journal is helping to promote.
-The expansion of manuscripts in high altitude medicine is also a special emphasis of the journal.
