Abstract
The question of determining the criteria for medical evacuation of patients with severe pneumonia from remote regions is still poorly understood. Presented a clinical case of successful evacuation of a patient with severe pneumonia with the presence of anemia. The aim of the study was to evaluate anemia as a prediction of the possible development of acute respiratory failure in patients with pneumonia. Statistically significant associations of increased respiratory index (РаО2/FiO2) with hemoglobin levels (r=0,689 p=0.001) and the number of blood erythrocytes (r=0,683 p=0,001).
