With MMA MMH, quality significantly improved delivery time lesion hospitals reduced, as well lethality analysis effectiveness showed during reduces mortality pre-hospital stage 3.3 times, hospital stage–by two times (p<0.05). Conclusion: Russia introduced into practice aviation technology using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) rescue injured. On basis NRCERM, simulation center founded training teams, program developed participating victims situations.
