Emergency Room
Airmen work with members of the Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation team to save the life of a NATO service member at the Craig Joint-Theater Hospital on Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Feb. 18, 2016. The airmen are assigned to the 455th Expeditionary Medical Group. The ECMO team, dispatched from San Antonio Military Medical Center, uses technology that bypasses the lungs and infuses the blood directly with oxygen, while removing the harmful carbon dioxide from the blood stream. The patient was airlifted to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany, where he will receive 7 to 14 days of additional ECMO treatment. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Nicholas Rau
