摘要

Abstract

The accurate assessment and diagnosis of combat injuries are the basis for triage and treatment of combat casualties. A consensus on the assessment and diagnosis of combat injuries was made and discussed at the second annual meeting of the Professional Committee on Disaster Medicine of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). In this consensus agreement

the massive hemorrhage

airway

respiration

circulation and hypothermia (MARCH) algorithm

which is a simple triage and rapid treatment and field triage score

was recommended to assess combat casualties during the first-aid stage

whereas the abbreviated scoring method for combat casualty and the MARCH algorithm were recommended to assess combat casualties in level II facilities. In level III facilities

combined measures

including a history inquiry

thorough physical examination

laboratory examination

X-ray

and ultrasound examination

were recommended for the diagnosis of combat casualties. In addition

corresponding methods were recommended for the recognition of casualties needing massive transfusions

assessment of firearm wounds

evaluation of mangled extremities

and assessment of injury severity in this consensus.
