In this study the cases occurred due to a direct effect of trauma and trauma-induced complications that might needed medical care and intervention in the field after the first 5 days of disaster were investigated. The cases in the field were determined by field screening and individual medical and surgical interventions have been conducted. The wounded that cannot be treated in the field were taken to the field hospital by the only available emergency ambulance, owned by Turkish Health Teams, to be treated by specialists. In the conclusion of the paper, the necessity and effectiveness of interventions provided to sick/wounded persons in the field who couldn't reach hospital was discussed.
