The patient was diagnosed with suspected septic shock, sepsis of unknown origin, suspected central nervous system infection, exceeding the capabilities of the military medical corps on Truong Sa Island, and needed to be urgently transferred to the mainland for further specialized treatment.

The patient was put on a helicopter for transport to the mainland for treatment.

Upon receiving orders from superiors to use helicopters for emergency rescue operations, the Southern Helicopter Company quickly deployed a combat-ready flight crew to carry out the rescue mission using EC225 helicopters—a specialized aircraft capable of long-range flights and performing well in complex maritime weather conditions.

The helicopter landed at Military Hospital 175 so that medical personnel could receive the patient, take him in for monitoring and treatment.

At approximately 9:30 PM on July 27th, a helicopter took off from Vung Tau airport to Tan Son Nhat airport to pick up the medical team from Military Hospital 175, then flew to Truong Sa Island to retrieve the patient. At 5:10 AM on July 28th, the helicopter landed safely on the helipad of Military Hospital 175, allowing medical personnel to receive the patient and quickly bring him in for monitoring and treatment.

This is one of many emergency medical flights in the sea and island areas that the 18th Air Force has carried out, demonstrating the unit's responsibility, courage, and professional expertise in emergency medical, rescue, and relief flights.
