Preface

It is known that a war or even at the low levels conflict, we cannot avoid falling victims or casualties. The victims should receive good treatment. Health facilities on the front lines are generally very limited. Therefore, victims should immediately evacuate to a higher-level equipped hospital in the rear. One of the best choices to rapid and relatively safe evacuation is using air transportation, as known as aero medical evacuation (aero medevac). The movement of seriously ill or injured patients to medical facilities was pioneered and to a large extent perfected by military forces. From the “flying ambulances” of Napoleonic times to modern jet aircraft flying intensive care wards, a major part of our experience with the transport of patients over the years derives from military medical care. ==> Download here
