Abstract

Compared to other types of injury, combat wounds sustained in modern warfare are more devastating in many ways. They result from the delivery of extremely high levels of energy to tissues, are highly contaminated, and occur very far from definitive care facilities. Although some civilian trauma techniques can be extrapolated to combat casualty care, war trauma remains unique and often necessitates novel approaches.
