One of Dr. Robert Zollinger's greatest contributions during his time in the Army Medical Corps was the development and utilization of mobile surgical units during World War II. After September 11, 2001, the medical services of the United States Air Force and Army were deployed to support combat casualties incurred during the war on terrorism.
Information is based on the authors' recent experiences in Operation Enduring Freedom.
Over an 8-month period, nearly ninety combat casualties, resulting primarily from blasts and penetrating injuries, received surgical care in medical facilities in Southwest Asia provided by the joint efforts of Air Force and Army mobile surgical teams.
The importance of lessons learned from this experience and from history, as well as the joint efforts of military medical services, should be applied to the future care of combat casualties.
罗伯特·佐林格博士在陆军医疗队任职期间最大的贡献之一是在第二次世界大战期间开发并使用了移动手术单元。2001年9月11日之后,美国空军和陆军的医疗服务部门被部署以支援反恐战争中出现的战斗伤员。
信息基于作者近期在持久自由行动中的经历。
在8个月的时间里,近90名主要因爆炸和穿透伤导致的战斗伤员在西南亚的医疗设施中接受了由空军和陆军移动手术团队共同努力提供的外科治疗。
从这次经历和历史中吸取的经验教训的重要性,以及军事医疗服务部门的共同努力,应该应用于未来战斗伤员的护理中。
