What should a Combat Medic do if a casualty's condition worsens during transport?

When a casualty's condition worsens during transport, the appropriate action for a Combat Medic is to request an immediate MEDEVAC. This is essential because worsening conditions can indicate that the casualty is in critical need of further medical support that cannot be provided in transit. By requesting a MEDEVAC, the medic ensures that the casualty will receive advanced medical care as soon as possible, which can be the difference between life and death.

Continuing transport to maintain schedule could jeopardize the casualty's health by delaying necessary intervention. Stopping treatment and reassessing may also lead to unnecessary delays in care, while communicating only after arrival could prevent timely updates to receiving medical personnel, which is vital for proper preparation for the casualty's arrival. Therefore, taking swift action by calling for an immediate MEDEVAC allows for the best chance of a positive outcome for the casualty.
