Abstract
- The US Military Joint Trauma System has been developed to mitigate the harsh conditions under which medical providers care for combat casualties and provide continuity of care from the battlefield to US medical centers. We review the components of this system with emphasis on combat trauma care under fire and the role of the anesthesiologist and intensivist in this continuum of care. An important link in the chain of survival is the Air Force Critical Care Aeromedical Transport Team, which provides critical care while transporting casualties from the theater to higher levels of care outside the war zone and home.
