摘要

Abstract

Cold regions are a special combat environment in which low temperatures have a great impact on human metabolism and other vital functions

including the nervous

motion

cardiovascular

circulatory

respiratory

and urinary systems; consequently

low temperatures often aggravate existing trauma

leading to high mortality rates if rapid and appropriate treatment is not provided. Hypothermia is an independent risk factor of fatality following combat trauma; therefore

proactive preventative measures are needed to reduce the rate of mortality. After summarizing the basic research on battlefield environments and progress in the prevention and treatment of trauma

this article concludes that current treatment and prevention measures for combat trauma in cold regions are inadequate. Future molecular biology studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms and relevant cell factors underlying bodily injury caused by cold environment

a research goal will also allow further exploration of corresponding treatments.
