The leader of the Emergency Medicine Department of the Central Theater General Hospital said, "This successful case of ECMO interhospital transport not only improves the technical level of ECMO transport of troops, but also provides new treatment ideas and experience for the treatment of trauma in complex battlefield warfare in the future." ”
