Systematic review of temporary intravascular shunt use in military and civilian extremity trauma

Robert B. Laverty et al.

Summary: Temporary intravascular shunts are effective in restoring perfusion in severely injured limbs and likely contribute to limb salvage. However, there is a lack of comparative data on temporary intravascular shunts in the literature and no consistent reporting standards, leading to controversies regarding their use.

Ukraine's Experience with Management of Combat Casualties Using NATO's Four-Tier Changing as Needed Healthcare System

Anatoliy Kazmirchuk et al.

Summary: This article summarizes the issues related to care of the wounded during the conflict in Ukraine, comparing the situation in 2014-2021 and 2022. It was found that there was an increase in the percentage of patients with extremity wounds who had long bone fractures and bone defects in the 2022 conflict, possibly due to higher blast energy from the weapons used. The article also discusses the organizational viewpoint of caring for the wounded and lessons learned.
