Life saving surgery, part of what we do here at Charlie Med. Camp Ramadi

In some of the following video you'll see a life saving thoracotomy performed by the Navy Surgical team at Camp Ramadi. During this case there was very little cool air in the O.R., as you can see Dr. Anderson helping rehydrate some of the people scrubbed in on the case. The patient was then flown out with an En Route Care Nurse to a higher level of care where he could be more closely monitored and recover.
