The delivery of combat casualty care poses numerous challenges including austere conditions, limited supplies and medical personnel, and multiple simultaneous patients. However, the exigent circumstances of the battlefield compel the development of research and the advancement of adaptive, practical medical technologies to support and sustain military health. In Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), modern changes in medical management, coupled with improved protective gear and evacuation capabilities, have facilitated the highest survival rate in combat history.
战场伤员救治面临诸多挑战,包括艰苦的环境、有限的供应和医疗人员,以及多个同时存在的伤员。然而,战场的紧急情况迫使人们开发研究并推进适应性强、实用的医疗技术,以支持和维持军事卫生。在持久自由行动(OEF)和伊拉克自由行动(OIF)中,医疗管理的现代变革,加上改进的防护装备和疏散能力,促成了历史上最高的战斗存活率。
