Characteristics of naval casualties in Malvinas War and World War Ⅱ and its enlightenment for naval combat casualty care of our navy
摘要
Abstract
Casualties in naval battles
such as Malvinas War and World War Ⅱ
demonstrate different characteristics from those that occur in land battles
and are characterized by higher rate of mass casualties
higher incidences of burns and inhalation injuries
and higher prevalence rates of frozen injuries
drowning
seawater immersion injuries and combat stress reaction. Enlightenments of these features for our naval combat casualties care include: ①Simple and fixed procedures should be established for mass casualties. ②For burns and inhalation injuries
treatment measures should be set up
and related facilities should be equipped in warships and hospital ships. ③Targeted strategies should be developed for frozen injuries
drowning
seawater immersion injuries and combat stress reaction. However
because of the improved killing effect of modern weapons and the changes of our national security strategy
the characteristics of casualties in our possible naval combats in the future differ from the above-mentioned features. So
in consideration of our national security strategy
features of various ships in modern naval combat
killing characteristics of different weapons and possible combat areas
we need to establish a reliable prediction model for casualties in modern offshore and far-offshore naval battles
and develop navel combat care skills and medical support strategies.
