Features of a specialized aeromedical evacuation team work at providing medical support for mass sporting events (on the example of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup)

Abstract

The problem of terrorism becomes one of the main of social dangers threatening humanity. The number of terrorist attacks and the number of victims are increasing. Protection of sports competitions from terrorism is actual in modern conditions. Large international competitions create ideal conditions where international terrorists can manifest themselves. Conducting events with mass concentration of people puts the problem of ensuring public security to the forefront. At the same time, an important task arises in front of the medical service: to ensure the timely provision of medical care to victims and their evacuation to a medical organization where medical assistance can be provided in full extent. The materials of work of the specialized aeromedical evacuation brigade are being analyzed during the preparation and holding of matches of the Confederations Cup 2017 in Sochi. The reanimation brigade was separated from the medical unit (special purpose) of the 1602nd Military Clinical Hospital to carry out medical evacuation of victims in the event of possible terrorist attacks. The medical staff of the brigade provided medical assistance in an urgent and urgent form to the personnel of the air commandant's office and to the duty crews of combat helicopters. In general, when planning a medical support of major sporting events, it is advisable to allocate a medical-nursing team for airmanship evacuation. Moreover, it is preferable to use equipped sanitary helicopters for these purposes. An important task for a specialized aeromedical evacuation brigade is to monitor the degree of charging of medical equipment for medical modules (helicopter) and timely recharging. In August 2017 in Zernograd, Rostov Region, the state flight test center (Moscow) successfully tested an operation of medical modules (helicopter) in the conditions of new electrical equipment, which allows adapting the module's equipment to the on-board helicopter network.
