As humans plan for missions beyond the reach of real-time communication supported by terrestrially-based crews (i.e., increasingly earth-independent spaceflight missions), we need to consider how to maximize this effectiveness despite asynchronous communication with Earth. Medical events – especially those involving the sparing of life, limb, or eyesight - often need to be acted on immediately, in real-time. Often the expertise necessary to successfully complete such action covers an enormous range of training that is unrealistic to expect from crews engaged in exploration spaceflight. Thus, the medical support paradigm for asynchronous environments must account for both the limitations and coordinate seamlessly among ground-based expertise, the need for real-time interventions, and the limited crew time and knowledge resources.
