En Route Care Research Center Evidence to Guide Practice: Prehospital Interventions Performed in Afghanistan between November 2009 and March 2014
Abstract
Care provided to a casualty in the prehospital combat setting can influence subsequent medical interactions and patient outcomes. Both historical and recent published data reveal that most combat related deaths occur in the prehospital setting before the casualty reaches a surgical facility. A key component of combat casualty care performance improvement includes evaluating prehospital medical performance, particularly in the combat setting. This requires data regarding the interventions performed, the assessment of whether the intervention was performed correctly, and the determination if there was a missed opportunity to perform an intervention in the field.
