[The treatment of combined gunshot and blast injuries at the medical evacuation stages]
Abstract
The article summarizes the experience of medical care to 3980 wounded with gunshot and blast injuries. It was found out that a number of fatal cases in concomitant traumas (23.4% of all other types of wounds) had come to 32.4%, and a number of medical discharges for unfitness--62.7%. The basic trends for the improvement of medical aid for this category of wounded are the following: rational systematization of injured, elaboration of integral prognostic systems which could be applied for concomitant gunshot injuries, differentiated approach to the problems of surgical, reanimatological and anesthesiological procedures.
