Use of Advanced Technologies and New Procedures in Medical Field Operations (Utilisation de technologies avancees et de procedures nouvelles dans les operations sanitaires)

NATO faces several challenges if Combat Casualty Care is to be improved further, especially if a smaller foot print is one future planning factor. In 45 papers and 29 posters the RTO-HFM 182 symposium on Use of Advanced Technology and New Procedures in Medical Field Operations has presented valuable...

Description
Summary:NATO faces several challenges if Combat Casualty Care is to be improved further, especially if a smaller foot print is one future planning factor. In 45 papers and 29 posters the RTO-HFM 182 symposium on Use of Advanced Technology and New Procedures in Medical Field Operations has presented valuable and promising possibilities. Further, this symposium has presented lessons learned especially from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The volcanic eruption on Iceland served as a pertinent reminder of our own vulnerability in addition to the need to identify all limiting factors. To fully evaluate all possibilities and weaknesses more emphasis must be put on robust and relevant indicators. A NATO Trauma Registry would be key. Supporting documents are attached to the report as separate files (MS Word, PDF, HTM). Papers presented at the RTO Human Factors and Medicine Panel (HFM) Symposium held in Essen, Germany on 19 to 21 April 2010.
