Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2012
Summary
War injury carries a high mortality, particularly for soldiers. In some individuals it may be necessary to recognize that the nature of the injury precludes any successful treatment. In the vast majority, life threatening situations can be averted by proper front-line management on the way to surgery and to the adherence by anesthetists and surgeons of the principles of war surgery which have slowly evolved over many years.
