Abstract

In the spring of 2014, a team of surgeons from the Royal Danish Air force (RDAF), the Army Surgeon Team and a surgical team from Aalborg University Hospital was assembled to discuss future cooperation, joint military (Værnsfælles) medical capabilities and concept development. The outcome of the meeting was an effort to implement the Army Surgical Team (Damage Control Surgery (DCS)) team into the existing RDAF MEDEVAC Intensive Care Unit Module. The second assembly was held in the MEDEVAC SQN hangar at Aalborg Airbase and the personnel of the two teams’ networked and medical materiel and assets, including blood warmers, monitors, surgery platforms etc., was tried to incorporate / integrate in the ICU module.
