Helicopter Crash MASCAL of Surgical Team Resulting in Prolonged Critical Care CASEVAC - A Medical Review

This event highlights the importance of adaptability in extended care environments throughout multiple echelons of care. Advanced Ranger First Responder (ARFR) and other non-medical attendants provided invaluable support at the POI and CCP. SOF medics became primary providers and were able to control the chaos despite the surgical team being seriously wounded. Interestingly, two patients experienced Ketamine ?emergence reactions? during PCC transport despite sub-dissociative dosing schedules. This unique event exemplifies the ability of SOF Medics to perform as highly capable independent medical providers in even the worst situations.
