Patient-Handling at Sea in Support of the Maritime Strategy
1989
Hooper, Richard R.
Execution of the offensive phase of the Maritime Strategy will result in deaths and injuries in the battle force. Appropriate disposition of the injured will be required for moral, morale, and mission achievement purposes. This paper qualitatively examines the patient disposition methods available to support the offensive phase of the Maritime Strategy, estimates the types of injured anticipated, and makes recommendations to improve patient-handling in aircraft carrier or surface action task forces involved in such operations. Patient disposition methods include: retention; evacuation by air; shuttle ships, or disabled ships; or transfer to hospital ships and/or primary care receiving ships. Keywords: Patient-handling, Casualties, Deaths, Injuries, Retention, Evacuation, Combat stress, Trauma, Burns, Maritime operations.
