Abstract:
Triage has been critical to combat casualty care by determining the order in which wounded soldiers are treated in case of mass casualties and saving as many lives as possible.Changes in the operation mode unfolded in the future will make a huge difference to casualties and combat casualty care.Given the inadequacies of current methods of triage,this article focused on triage in large-scale combat operations in the future.It is recommended that such factors be taken into consideration as the situation on the battlefield:the number and severity of wounded soldiers,health care resources and supplies,and ways of evacuation.Meanwhile,multiple triage methods should be adopted and dynamic evaluations conducted in order to save more lives and enable some previously wounded soldiers to return to the battlefield soon.In this way,combat effectiveness can be maintained,the benefits to wounded soldiers maximized,and the level of combat casualty care improved.
