With the participation of the Center's specialists, new clinical protocols “Combat Trauma” were approved in Ukraine for the first time (MoH order No. 714 of 25.04.2024).
The documents are based on the clinical practice guidelines of the JOINT TRAUMA SYSTEM (JTS), the Center of Excellence of the U.S. Department of Defense, aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality and increasing the survival of trauma patients in wartime and peacetime.
The new clinical protocols will allow practicing physicians to become familiar with the specifics of providing care for combat trauma in the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance, and will also provide an idea of how this care is organized.
The following protocols were included:
- “Anesthesia in Trauma Patients”;
- “Acute Compartment Syndrome”;
- “Combat Thoracic Trauma”;
- “Combat Wounds: Debridement and Irrigation”;
- “High Bilateral Amputation”;
- “Vascular Trauma”.
The approval of new clinical protocols for providing care to those injured with combat trauma is an extremely important and timely decision in the conditions of war in Ukraine. It will enable every doctor in a civilian hospital or a military hospital to adopt experience and promptly treat wounded soldiers with combat trauma according to the best international practices already today.
