Simulated Casualty Evacuation Performance Is Augmented by Deadlift Peak Force

Casualty evacuation timelines: an evidence-based review.

There is no tri-modal death distribution demonstrable in modern military conflict. Recent UK, Palestinian and Israeli data suggests that nine out of every ten injured soldiers that die do so within minutes of wounding from insurvivable, unsalvagable trauma. Having the surgeon on the battlefield with the soldier has been shown to make no difference to these survival rates. Early definitive airwa...

Outdoor Evacuation Experiment Augmented by Massively Multiagent Simulation

The spread of mobile terminals like cellular phones and PDAs, and positioning systems like GPS, will realize a ubiquitous environment for citydwellers. Ubiquitous/pervasive computing systems in the public space often interact with anonymous users. A large-scale evacuation navigation system, which is an example of socially embedded system, is selected as a target application in this research. An...

AORN guidance statement: mass casualty, triage, and evacuation.

The Burma Campaigns, 1942-1945; a history of casualty evacuation.

Mass Casualty Incident Response and Aeromedical Evacuation in Antarctica

Antarctica is one of the most remote regions on Earth. Mass casualty incident (MCI) responses in Antarctica are prone to complications from multiple environmental and operational challenges. This review of the current status of MCI risks and response strategies for Antarctica focuses on aeromedical evacuation, a critical component of many possible MCI scenarios. Extreme cold and weather, a lack...
