Aerial Life-Saving Mission for Critically Burned Patients
Emergency Medical Evacuation
When two patients with extensive burn injuries required emergency transfer from Xinjiang to Henan, ground transportation posed a risk of over 30 hours of prolonged turbulence. Within 24 hours, we swiftly mobilized a medically equipped Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft with dual ICU units, assembled a three-person medical team including burn specialists, and conducted full emergency scenario rehearsals — including airway crisis management. As a result, the patients were safely transferred in just 6 hours, reducing transport time by 80% compared to ground transfer.
