Abstract:
The landscape of modern warfare is undergoing profound transformation. With the large-scale, clustered application of high-kinetic weapon systems and intelligent munitions, combat trauma has exhibited distinct characteristics: diversified injury patterns, a significant increase in the proportion of complex injuries, a drastically shortened golden window for treatment, more stringent time-critical requirements, and highly fragmented allocation of medical resources. These emerging trends pose systemic challenges to traditional combat trauma care systems, highlighting deficiencies including delayed injury assessment, experience-dependent medical decision-making, and low efficiency in multi-link coordination. Intelligent technologies for combat trauma care, underpinned by artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics, and brain-computer interfaces, offer new pathways to address the limitations of traditional care systems. Starting from the new challenges in modern combat trauma care, the author elaborated on the application of intelligent orthopedics across key stages including pre-hospital, in-hospital, and post-hospital care, identified potential issues and countermeasures, aiming to provide theoretical and practical references for the development of an intelligent combat trauma care system.
