Dr. Keyan Riley, a colonel in the Air Force Reserves, is shown working in Afghanistan. Riley has worked alongside UCHealth physicians for a few years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In music, sports or medicine, the way to perfect a skill is to practice, practice, practice.<\/p>\n

In that spirit, military doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists are working alongside UCHealth Memorial Hospital\u2019s<\/a> doctors and nurses to learn from each other, hone their skills and save lives.<\/p>\n

Many American service members alive today who have fought in recent wars would have died in previous wars. That\u2019s thanks to advances in combat medicine, medevac platforms, technology and training \u2013 practice.<\/p>\n

When our nation\u2019s military doctors and nurses are not in combat, they still need to keep their skills sharp. While Memorial Hospital<\/a> has worked with the area\u2019s military medical community since 2011, that partnership is expanding to include more physicians, nurses, medics and respiratory therapists. More trauma patients come to Memorial since it is the region\u2019s only Level I Trauma Center, giving military doctors the opportunity to treat a high number of high-acuity patients who have complex, multiple system injuries.<\/p>\n

Ron Fitch<\/a>, vice president of operations and military affairs for UCHealth\u2019s Southern Colorado Region, is spearheading the effort with the military. Fitch served 24 years in the U.S. Army as a Special Forces Officer with deployments to Afghanistan and Latin America, and he was a recent garrison commander at Fort Carson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the importance of being able to save lives over there,\u2019\u2019 Fitch said. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to provide the opportunity for more training, and we benefit too. They\u2019re bringing our trauma team insight and expertise from combat, so it\u2019s a huge benefit to our community. The partnership here will pay off in big dividends,\u2019\u2019 Fitch said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Keyan Riley<\/a>, a colonel in the Air Force Reserves, has worked alongside UCHealth physicians for a few years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis gives Air Force surgeons the experience of working in a busy medical center,\u2019\u2019 Riley said. \u201cAs a nation, we demand that our military surgeons are always ready to enter a combat zone and provide the best possible care to our injured soldiers. Therefore, there is a tangible benefit to taxpayers when these surgeons take lessons learned in our civilian trauma centers to the battlefield.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Military doctors integrate fully into the medical and trauma staffs, allowing them to keep up their skills when not in the trenches.<\/p>\n

Army Col. Eric S. Edward, the commander of Evans Army Community Hospital on Fort Carson, said Fort Carson appreciates the medical training agreement with UCHealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis agreement provides a local opportunity to rotate Fort Carson combat medics, critical care nurses, emergency nurses, internists, general surgeons, and orthopedic surgeons, into a Level I Trauma Center that offers complex cases to better prepare us for the deployed environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this has only just started, this local healthcare partner model has great promise and is another example of a city supporting our military,” Edward said.<\/p>\n

In recent years, more troops have survived injuries suffered in combat because of advances in medicine and also the speed in which the injured are transported to field hospitals or medical centers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone gets injured today, it\u2019s usually with a high-powered rifle or an improvised explosive device, and you need the ability to stabilize that person, get the medevac platform in and get him back to a hospital,\u2019\u2019 Fitch said. \u201cThey try to do that in what they call the \u2018golden hour,\u2019 which means that from the time they get the call, they pick you up in 30 minutes and you are back at a higher level of care facility within 30 minutes.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

In the coming weeks, the Air Force will send nurses, more doctors and respiratory therapists to train at Memorial. In wartime, these Air Force personnel work on critical care air transport teams, essentially an intensive care unit in the back of an airplane.<\/p>\n

Fort Carson has two surgeons working shifts at Memorial along with nurses who are working in the emergency room and in the ICU. Army medics also may begin working at the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Army is interested in the volume and in having their folks receive additional experience in triage. Memorial has high volume in the emergency department and the Army is interested in putting a little stress on people, to elevate their triage capability,\u2019\u2019 Fitch said.<\/p>\n

UCHealth is also offering medics from the 10th<\/sup> Special Forces Group the opportunity to train at the hospital. Those medics have to advance their skills and proficiencies every two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecial Forces medics (green berets) are the equivalent of a physician assistant, and they also have dental and veterinary skills,\u2019\u2019 Fitch said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
