Management of soft-tissue wounds, burns, and hand injuries in the field setting.

Abstract:

:In combat, the tactical situation can prevent rapid evacuation to definitive care, or casualty overload can tie up the surgical teams. All medical personnel and their supporting cadre should have the ability to manage wounds and burns. Controlling bleeding and airways, cleaning and debriding wounds, and dressing or splinting injuries is essential knowledge and training for enlisted and officer personnel of all medical departments.
