Navy Lt. Cmdr. C. Long, a Special Operations Forces physician assistant, performs a surgical procedure to stop the bleeding at the femoral artery on a manikin during training using augmented reality glasses, May 11, 2017. The scenario not only tested the ability of the glasses to provide a link between the physician assistant performing the procedure and a surgeon at an alternate location, but also explored training physician assistants to step in to perform lifesaving measures when there isn't the time or capability to get service members injured in theater to a surgeon in time.
