 Editors' Note: This new recurring section, Case Review, presents an opportunity for Air Medical Journal readers to participate in an educational case study. Each entry will follow this format. An actual patient case involving air transport will be recounted (minor details of the case may be changed solely to protect the privacy of the patient). The initial presentation and treatment will be described, followed by several questions about the patient's initial presentation and management. Readers are invited to submit responses to the questions and other comments to DRDR0682@aol.com.In the next issue, we will conclude the case with a discussion of how the patient was actually managed, the outcome, a review of the related medical literature, and interviews with medical transport experts where appropriate. Relevant reader responses also will be published.We strongly encourage reader participation. If you have a case that might be suitable, please submit the details to David Ross at DRDR0682@aol.com.
