Analysis of the eff ectiveness of pain relief for wounded with combat surgical trauma of the extremities during medical evacuation to early care facilities

Abstract

Objective. To analyze the effectiveness of pain relief for wounded with combat surgical trauma of the extremities during medical evacuation to early medical care facilities. Materials and Methods. We analyzed the effectiveness of pain relief for 100 wounded with combat surgical limb trauma at the beginning of interhospital transportation and at the end of it. Results. An increase in the level of pain in the dynamics with a statistically significant (p < 0.05) difference between their values at the beginning of medical evacuation and at the end of it was revealed. Conclusions. Regardless of the type of surgery performed and the type of anesthetic support, the dynamics of pain levels during interhospital transportation of wounded was negative. Thus, optimization of pain relief for the wounded during medical evacuation is extremely important.
