Objective. To improve the results of treatment of the wounded persons, suffering a combat surgical trauma, elaborating and introducing of objective scales of the trauma severity estimation into the medical evacuation system while conduction of Antiterroristic operation / Operation of Joint Forces. Materials and metods. Complex medical-statistical investigation was performed, in which 684 wounded persons, suffering a combat surgical trauma were included. Dynamical medical control and determination of the trauma severity degree in accordance to AdTS (Admission trauma Scale) were applied on all levels of medical support. Results. In the beginning of conduction of Antiterroristic operation / Operation of Joint Forces a mortallty have had occurred during transportation of wounded persons in unstable state (more than 9 points) to military-medical clinical centers. The wounded persons in a traumatic shock state were transported on forth level of medical support, what have been considered an organization defect in the help deliver process, which leaded to death of military persons. At the same time an unjustified delay of transportation of servicemen, suffering wounds of the wrist and foot (up to 5 points), on the first and second levels of medical support, leading to development of severe complications, have occurred. Taking into account the above mentioned, the authors have provided a differentiated approach for medical evacuation of wounded persons, suffering a combat surgical trauma, depending on its severity degree. Conclusion. Evacuation of wounded persons, suffering a combat surgical trauma, constitutes an integral part of the medical support system of Antiterroristic operation/Operation of Joint Forces, closely connected with a medical support process during transportation. Medical evacuation of wounded persons with injuries of the vision organ, the wrist and foot must be accomplished urgently to specialized clinic of the fourth level of medical support.

Objective. To determine the trustworthiness of the elaborated anatomic-functional scale for the trauma severity estimation (Admission trauma scale) in the wounded persons with thoraco-abdominal injuries, evacuated on the level II medical service. Materials and methods. Retrospective analysis was conducted, concerning 123 wounded persons with the gun-shot thoraco-abdominal injuries, obtained while conduction of The Joint Forces Operation. The trauma severity was determined in accordance to anatomic-functional scale (Admission trauma scale). Results. Statistical analysis was conducted concerning the point characteristic estimation in accordance to anatomic-functional scale of the general massive of the observation. Estimation in accordance to anatomic-functional scale for the wounded persons, who have survived, constituted at average (6.9 ± 2) points, while for the wounded persons, who have died, – (12.4 ± 15) points. Then, a value of the confidence interval was determined in accordance to formula M ± 3δ. Of 123 wounded persons with thoraco-abdominal injuries in 107 (87%) the state of severity estimation in accordance to anatomic-functional scale did not cross the interval of trustworthiness borders. Conclusion. Anatomic-functional scale for the trauma severity estimation permits to determine the organization of treatment peculiarities in the surgical help delivery on initial stages of medical evacuation, and, taking into account of this procedure simplicity, its application is possible without application of additional methods of examination.

Onbjective. To determine the optimal scheme of medical evacuation for the wounded persons, suffering the combat trauma of the extremities, bаsing on clinic-statistical analysis of changes in the homeostasis indices. Маterials and methods. Complex pathophysiologic investigation, concerning 378 wounded persons, suffering a combat traumas of the extremities in accordance to 26 indices of homeostasis, was conducted. Dynamic physician’s control with determination of the trauma severity in accordance to the AdTS (Admission trauma Scale) on all levels of medical support was accomplished. Results. There was established, that in a case of organization of a consequent delivery of traumatological help to the wounded persons, suffering severe and extremely severe combat trauma of the extremities, estimated by the AdTS as 5 points and more, on levels of medical support due to timely conducted antishock measures and the operative interventions performed a severe respiratory-circulatory disorders - (5.2 ± 0.6) standard units - have had changed steadily towards moderate - (7.7 ± 0.2) standard units. Меdical evacuation of a wounded persons through one or two levels leads to development of definite respiratory-circulatory disorders - (2.8 ± 0.9) standard units, significant lowering of a one-time and a minute productivity of the heart with tendency for cardio-vascular and respiratory insufficiency occurrence: a power іndex - (19.0 ± 4.1) ml/m2, the heart іndex - (2.1 ± 0.3) l/min/m2. In a wounded persons, suffering nonsevere trauma, estimated using a AdTS lesser than 5 points, the shortening of quantity of the medical support levels do not influence the patients’ general state, аnd a respiratory-circulatory disorders owes a moderate character - (8.16 ± 1.37) standard units. Conclusion. Меdical evacuation of wounded persons, suffering nonsevere trauma (lesser than 5 points in accordance to AdTS) must be conducted in accordance to a shortened scheme; while in a severe one (5-9 points in accordance to AdTS) and in extremely severe trauma (more than 9 points in accordance to AdTS) - after conduction of the antishock measures and stabilization of state on every level of medical support.

Shock, or tissue hypoperfusion, is a frequent complication from traumatic injury. Despite the etiology of the shock state, there is always some component of hypovolemia. The body’s innate ability to compensate for impaired perfusion may mask clinical signs, leading to delays in treatment. This article presents an overview of these compensatory mechanisms and resuscitation strategies from the vantage point of routine hemodynamic monitoring.

Traumatic shock is considered to be the most common clinical form of a severe patient’s condition (63%). Timely and adequate blood volume resuscitation is one of the most important procedures in providing medical care to critically injured casualties and patients at the forward medical evacuation stage. The key to this problem, especially when the infusion therapy is needed at the pre-hospital stage, is the development of alternative (extravascular) techniques of plasma volume expander administration. The article presents the results of testing of the first domestic medical devices for intraosseous infusion in critically injured casualties and patients. At present, on commission of the Russian Ministry of Defense and with the scientific support of Kirov Military Medical Academy, domestic enterprises developed test samples of medical devices to provide intraosseous infusions: a «Disposable device for intraosseous infusion of solutions if there is no intravenous access, which was designed on the basis of a spring drive» - the index «VKI-P», developed by limited liability company «Novoplast-М» and a set for intraosseous infusion using an electric drive - the index « VKI-E», developed by limited liability company «Research engineering company «Spetsproekt». Assessment of performance of test samples of the medical devices for intraosseous infusions «VKI-P» and «VKI-E» was carried out using pathophysiologic model of traumatic shock in 14 experimental animals (pigs) by creating artificial blood loss of medium severity, 25% of circulating blood volume (in average 440 ml), followed by its resuscitation with intraosseous infusion of 0,9% solution of NaCl. As a result of the performed tests it was found that the device «VKI-P» and the set «VKI-E» provide for NaCl infusion in major vessels (with an intraosseous infusion), 750 ml of volume during 45-50 min, and can be used as an alternative access to provide infusion as a part of anti-shock therapy, which solves the problem of volume resuscitation when giving care to severely injured casualties and patients at the forward medical evacuation stages. These samples may be recommended for inclusion into the medical service list of complete supplies and the Medical Corps supply support, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
