    AbstractThe Joint Trauma System in Afghanistan, while designed for the care of injured patients, can provide timely, multimodal, coordinated care for nontraumatic medical emergencies as patients are evacuated from theater. To illustrate this, a case of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is presented. The patient was able to receive all recommended components of postcardiac arrest care in a timely, coordinated manner at four different medical treatment facilities and while traveling over 8,600 miles with critical care provided en route.Reprint & Copyright © 2014 Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S.
