Abstract:
Vascular trauma in wartime is often accompanied by severe complications such as fractures,visceral injuries,and hemorrhagic shock,and it is a major cause of disability and death on the battlefield.In response to the high incidence and complexity of combat-related vascular trauma,"Chinese expert consensus on the management of vascular combat injuries"has been jointly formulated by the Vascular Surgery Group of the Chinese People's Liberation Army(PLA),the Vascular Medicine Professional Committee of China Research Hospital Association,and the Vascular Devices Branch of China Association for Medical Devices Industry.Leading experts in vascular surgery and medical device development for vascular trauma treatment from the PLA were invited to participate,and they integrated the latest research findings and relevant literature in the field of combat vascular trauma management.After extensive consultation with experts from military medical and research institutions,this consensus focuses on fundamental treatment concepts and principles of vascular trauma care,frontline care,early vascular damage control surgery,and bleeding management protocols for different anatomical regions.The consensus comprises 8 sections with 42 recommendation statements,aiming to establish a comprehensive,highly targeted,and operationally feasible treatment protocol covering the entire continuum of combat vascular trauma care.It provides clear and practical references for managing vascular injuries at different levels and anatomical locations on the battlefield.
