Abstract

The shipboard and flight deck environments are associated with high amounts of risk and have the potential to generate mass casualty incidents (MCIs). In the modern era, while combat-related casualty events aboard ships are rare, a review of shipboard mishaps demonstrates that significant injuries and even mortality continue to occur despite safety protocols and checklists. Comprehensive knowledge and understanding of recent shipboard injuries can help maritime surgeons and surgical teams prepare their operating rooms and triage teams to better take care of these patients.
