The introduction of gas warfare in World War One was impactful, as it both expanded the breadth of warfare and fueled the invention of techniques required to treat these new injuries. Gas injuries were responsible for 91,000 of 1.3 million deaths in World War One. Gassed soldiers had wounds which the world had never seen. They presented in large scale to medical tents and base hospitals across Europe. As gas casualties poured in, doctors and nurses had to treat these conditions in the best way they knew. Gas warfare changed how war was performed and how casualties of this attack were treated. The techniques learned from treating the multitudes of men with gas burns led to advances in the field of burn care, which have helped to improve mortality and reduce morbidity in hospitals across the world.
第一次世界大战中瓦斯战的引入具有重大影响，因为它不仅扩大了战争的范围，还推动了治疗这些新伤所需技术的发明。瓦斯战造成了一战中 130 万人死亡中的 9.1 万人。被瓦斯熏伤的士兵所受的创伤是前所未有的。他们在欧洲的医疗帐篷和基地医院大量出现。随着瓦斯伤员的涌入，医生和护士必须尽力治疗这些伤员。瓦斯战改变了战争的进行方式，也改变了对这种袭击伤员的治疗方式。从治疗大量瓦斯烧伤患者中学到的技术推动了烧伤治疗领域的进步，这有助于降低世界各地医院的死亡率和发病率。
