A Mobile Trauma Bay (MTB) is a containerized ambulance bay mounted on a Logistics Vehicle System Replacement LVSR. [1] [2] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4AUTWcAhpo)
The MTB consists of state-of-the-art medical equipment and carries one doctor, a nurse and three corpsmen who provide advanced resuscitative care to critically-injured service members within the first hour after a traumatic injury ("The Golden Hour"). It affords the capability to take emergency medical care farther forward, saving more lives.[3] [4] More than 98% of the wounded Marines who make it into the MTB, make it out alive. [5]
The MTB was developed and deployed by James L. Hancock in 2008. [6] From the time it was proposed to the time it was deployed there were 914 concept drawings over a period of four months.
