How Conflict Zone Trauma Stabilization Points Translate to the Resource Constrained MCI Response

Abstract

Modern warfare has challenged the way in which far-forward medical assistance is provided in such settings. Since the existing approach and tools are insufficient for the changing landscape and humanitarian assistance, steps need to be taken to support an appropriate response. Of particular importance is the revision of a curriculum that fits the civilian medical system and facilitates its adaptation to the context and available resources.

Learning Objectives

Present the correlation between the asymmetry in warfare, the implementation of an integrated trauma system and its application in the management of civilian casualties.

Understand how lessons from the implementation of trauma care close to the frontlines contribute to generate a model for the provision of trauma care in asymmetric conflict.
