The 'Top 10' research and development priorities for battlefield surgical care: Results from the Committee on Surgical Combat Casualty Care research gap analysis

摘要

BACKGROUND The US Military has achieved the highest casualty survival rates in its history. However, there remain multiple areas in combat trauma that present challenges to the delivery of high-quality and effective trauma care. Previous work has identified research priorities for pre-hospital care, but there has been no similar analysis for forward surgical care.
