Simulated Cold-Weather Casualty Evacuations: An Initial Comparison Between a Traditional and Novel Casualty Evacuation Ecosystem for Casualty Transport
Findings suggest that the CASEVAC Ecosystem was not inferior to the SKED system, given there were no differences in heat loss protection performance, packaging times, and transport efficiency between systems. It is anticipated that further development and testing of the novel CASEVAC Ecosystem system will benefit from this study's outcomes to improve heat loss protection performance for casualties.
