National Defense New Tactics and Disaster Drone Simulation Rescue Experience Camp | Medical Ultrasound Empowers Battlefield Rescue

To strengthen emergency medical care capabilities on the battlefield, the Health and Well-being Sustainable Development Association held the “National Defense New Tactics and Disaster Drone Simulation Rescue Experience Camp” on July 8th. The event invited experts from the Hualien General Hospital of the National Armed Forces, the Chinese Taipei Search and Rescue Association, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei Medical University School of Nursing, and New Taipei City Fire Department to participate in a practical exercise and discussion on battlefield first aid, triage, and medical evacuation.

Drones Carry Medical Supplies, Medical Ultrasound Assists

The exercise simulated a situation where a casualty needs emergency medical care during a military attack and defense. The military-civilian medical system immediately dispatched drones from the rear to conduct reconnaissance. After confirming the location of the casualty, they carried mobile ultrasound and other medical supplies to the front line for emergency medical treatment by military personnel. During the exercise, in order to stabilize the vital signs of the casualty, the soldiers first used medical ultrasound to assess the casualty’s condition and then performed hemostasis and bandaging. Even under the threat of the enemy, the soldiers completed the medical treatment in an orderly manner, demonstrating the results of their regular training, and also allowing the students participating in the event to witness the professionalism of the military medical personnel.

Battlefield POCUS and Emergency ultrasound

The exercise simulated a scenario where casualties requiring urgent medical attention appeared during a military engagement.

The military-civilian medical system promptly deployed drones from the rear for reconnaissance.

After confirming the injured personnel’s locations, the drones transported Apache Wireless Ultrasound and other medical equipment, handed over to the military officers and soldiers on the front lines for urgent medical treatment.

During this process, to stabilize the vital signs of the casualties, the officers and soldiers first used ultrasound to assess the condition of the injured personnel and then proceeded with hemostasis and bandaging. Despite considerations for the simulated enemy situation, the officers and soldiers systematically completed medical care, shows not only the results of routine training but also allowing participating students to witness the professionalism of the military medical personnel.
