Stages of evacuation of the wounded. Medical triage and evacuation. Measures to improve the sustainability of the functioning of medical institutions in emergency situations

Under the stage of medical evacuation is understood forces and means of the medical service (MSGO, surviving healthcare institutions, medical formations of the civil defense troops, etc.) deployed along the evacuation routes.

The LEO is based on a system of staged treatment with evacuation according to the destination. At present, the MS GO has adopted a two-stage system of medical and evacuation support for the injured.

Rice. Schematic diagram of a two-stage system of medical and evacuation support for the affected

As the first stages of medical evacuation there may be MSGO medical detachments (OPM), preserved on the border of the focus of mass sanitary losses, health care institutions, medical units (units) of civil defense troops, etc.

The first stages of medical evacuation are designed to provide first aid, qualified emergency measures and prepare victims for evacuation to the second stages.

The second stages of medical evacuation are medical institutions (head, profiled, multidisciplinary and other hospitals) MSGO deployed as part of medical evacuation areas (BB) in the suburban area.

At the second stages, the provision of qualified medical care is completed, specialized, treatment and rehabilitation are provided.

regardless of the place in the general LEO system, all stages of medical evacuation are inherent in general tasks:

reception, registration, medical triage of incoming casualties;

conducting, according to indications, sanitization of the affected, disinfection, decontamination and degassing of their clothes;

provision of medical care;

hospitalization and inpatient treatment of the affected;

preparation for the evacuation of persons to be treated at subsequent stages;

isolation of infectious patients and persons with disorders of neuropsychic activity.

Stages of medical evacuation, regardless of the features, are deployed and equipped identical in purpose functional divisions :

for the reception of victims, their registration, sorting and placement;

for sanitation;

for temporary isolation;

to provide various types of assistance (surgery, therapy, etc.);

for temporary and final hospitalization;

evacuation;

supply and maintenance departments.

Rice. Schematic diagram of the deployment and operation of the medical evacuation stage

At each stage of medical evacuation, a certain type and amount of medical care is provided. With this in mind, the stages of medical evacuation are staffed with medical staff (including doctors of a certain qualification) and medical equipment.

Requirements for the place of deployment of the stage of medical evacuation.

For the deployment of medical evacuation stages, places (districts) are selected taking into account:

nature of hostilities

support organizations;

radiation and chemical environment;

availability of sources of good quality water.

availability of transportation and evacuation routes;

the presence of masking and protective properties of the terrain;

the absence of objects that attract the attention of artillery and enemy aircraft;

probable direction of the enemy's main attack (aside);

inaccessibility (inaccessibility) for tanks;

3. TYPES OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE - DEFINITION, PLACE OF RENDERING, OPTIMAL TERMS OF PROVIDING DIFFERENT TYPES, ATTRACTED FORCES AND FACILITIES. VOLUME OF MEDICAL CARE, CONTENT OF THE EVENT, ITS DEPENDENCE ON THE CURRENT SITUATION

Type of medical care - this is a specific list of therapeutic and preventive measures carried out by the affected (wounded, sick) in the lesion and at the stages of medical evacuation.

Currently, the system of medical and evacuation measures provides for the following types of medical care:

First aid;

Pre-medical (paramedical) assistance;

First medical aid;

Qualified medical care;

Specialized medical care;

Medical rehabilitation.

First aid it turns out (no later than 15-20 minutes from the moment of injury) directly at the place where the injury was received or the disease occurred, in the order of self-help, mutual assistance, by sanitary combatants, personnel of medical posts. In this case, first of all, the contents of the individual first-aid kit, the individual sterile dressing package (PPI), the individual anti-chemical package (IPP) are used. Use the property of the sanitary combatant's bag.

Purpose of first aid elimination of life-threatening phenomena of the wounded (patient) and prevention of dangerous complications.

Pre-medical (paramedical) assistance it turns out (no later than 2-3 hours from the moment of the defeat) by the average medical personnel (paramedics, nurses) of the medical units of the civil defense troops and the medical institutions that have survived in the outbreak in order to elimination of disorders that pose a threat to the life of the affected person, through the use of standard medical equipment, equipment for artificial lung ventilation, etc. The need for it arises in case of asphyxia, acute cardiovascular failure, shock, convulsions, uncontrollable vomiting.

First aid turns out (no later than 4-5 hours from the moment of injury, injury) to a general practitioner in the first aid unit, with the aim of elimination of the consequences of a lesion (disease) directly threatening the life of the wounded and sick, preventing the development of complications (shock, wound infection), preparing the wounded and sick for further evacuation.

For the provision of first aid, the personnel equipment of the first aid unit is used.

Qualified medical care is provided by surgeons (qualified surgical care) and therapists (qualified therapeutic care) in multidisciplinary medical institutions of the city or hospital base no later than 8-12 hours from the moment of injury, injury. She has her purpose saving the life of the affected, eliminating the consequences of the lesion, preventing the development of complications and combating already developed complications.

Specialized medical care This is a complex of therapeutic and preventive measures performed by medical specialists using special equipment and equipment. This is the highest type of medical care, which is exhaustive. The term of rendering within 24 hours from the moment of defeat.

Qualified and specialized medical care for the affected population is provided in medical institutions of the hospital base of the MS GO in the suburban area, where the treatment of the affected is carried out to the final outcome and rehabilitation measures are carried out.

medical rehabilitation - this is a set of successive and successive therapeutic and preventive measures, hygienic education and upbringing, promotion of a healthy lifestyle aimed at restoring health, disability, impaired or lost by the population due to illness or injury. Medical rehabilitation is carried out in combination with psychological, physical and professional rehabilitation.

The set of therapeutic and preventive measures corresponding to a certain type of medical care that can be provided at the stages of medical evacuation, depending on the situation, is called volume of medical care .

Depending on the general and medical-tactical situation, the scope of medical care can be full, reduced or expanded.

The decision to reduce or expand the volume of medical care in the course of medical evacuation measures is taken by the relevant head of the MS GO. For example, for OPM - this is the head of the MS GO of the city (district) on whose territory rescue work is carried out, for medical institutions (hospital base) of the MS GO of the suburban area - the head of the MS GO of the region (territory, republic) within the Russian Federation.

Stage of medical evacuation called the formation or institution of a disaster medicine service, any other medical institution deployed on the evacuation routes of the injured (sick) and providing them with reception, medical triage, provision of regulated medical care, treatment and preparation (if necessary) for further evacuation.

In turn, such an organization of medical care increases the need for the disaster medicine service in forces and means. Therefore, when organizing medical evacuation measures, it is necessary to minimize the number of stages of medical evacuation through which the injured and sick must “pass”. The best option is to evacuate the injured to a specialized medical institution after the first medical aid in the focus (zone) of emergency situations.

Stages of medical evacuation in the VSMK system can be deployed:

medical formations and medical institutions of the Ministry of Health of Russia;

medical service of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia;

medical and sanitary service of the Ministry of Railways of Russia;

medical service of the civil defense troops and other ministries and departments.

Each stage of medical evacuation has its own characteristics in the organization of work, depending on the place of this stage in the general system of medical evacuation support and the conditions in which it solves its tasks. However, despite the variety of conditions that determine the activities of the stages of medical evacuation, the organization of their work is based on general principles, according to which functional units are usually deployed as part of the stage of medical evacuation. providing the following main tasks:

reception, registration and sorting of the injured arriving at this stage of medical evacuation;

special treatment of the affected, decontamination, degassing and disinfection of their clothing and equipment;

provision of medical assistance (treatment) to the injured;

placement of the injured, subject to further evacuation;

isolation of infectious patients;

isolation of persons with severe mental disorders.

Depending on the tasks assigned to the stage of medical evacuation and the conditions of its work, the list of functional units designed to perform these tasks may be different.

Each stage of medical evacuation includes:

control;

receiving and sorting divisions;

special processing unit;

units for medical care;

hospital departments;

evacuation units;

insulators;

diagnostic departments (X-ray room, laboratory);

room for medical staff;

platform for aircraft (helicopters) and vehicles;

pharmacy; business divisions.

A schematic diagram of the deployment of the medical evacuation stage is shown in Figure No. 1.

Stages of medical evacuation must be constantly ready to work in any, even the most difficult, conditions, to quickly change the place of deployment and to simultaneously receive a large number of casualties.

Fundamentals of the organization of medical and evacuation support.

The VSMK is responsible for carrying out the following medical and evacuation measures:

participation (together with emergency rescue and other formations of the RSChS) in providing first aid to the injured (sick) and their evacuation from the lesion;

organization and provision of pre-medical and first medical aid;

organization and provision of qualified and specialized medical care to the affected (sick), creation of favorable conditions for their subsequent treatment and rehabilitation;

organization of medical evacuation of the injured (sick) between the stages of medical evacuation;

organizing and conducting (if necessary) a forensic medical examination of the dead and a forensic medical examination of the injured (sick).

The organization of medical and evacuation support largely depends on the conditions prevailing in an emergency.

If it is possible for medical units to work in the outbreak, then after extracting the injured from the rubble, providing them with first aid, they are delivered by the personnel of the emergency rescue units to collection points organized in the immediate vicinity. Here, additional first aid measures are carried out and, if possible, first aid is provided, evacuation and transport sorting is carried out (the distribution of those affected by the order of evacuation, types of vehicles and places in them), loading onto vehicles.

If it is impossible for medical units to work in the outbreak (chemical, radiation contamination, etc.), after carrying out vital first aid measures on the spot, the injured (sick) are delivered by the personnel of the rescue units to collection points organized on the border of the outbreak in a safe zone. It provides first medical and pre-medical aid, evacuation and transport sorting, loading onto vehicles for referral to the stage of medical evacuation.

If a doctor works at the collection point or he is in the vehicle on which the injured are evacuated, then he can perform certain first aid measures (resuscitation measures, oxygen therapy, etc.).

The stages of medical evacuation intended for the provision of first medical aid can be: a surviving (fully or partially) hospital in the lesion; a hospital located in close proximity to the lesion; hospital (detachment) of the territorial center for disaster medicine; medical care centers deployed by medical and nursing teams (including emergency medical care); medical posts of the medical service of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, civil defense troops and others.

Qualified and specialized medical care and treatment are carried out at the next stages of medical evacuation. Such stages for the affected (patients) can be: hospitals and hospitals (beds) of disaster medicine services, multidisciplinary, profiled, specialized hospitals, clinics and centers of the Ministry of Health of Russia, medical special forces, medical battalions and hospitals of the Ministry of Defense of Russia; medical institutions of MGTS, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the border troops, the Federal Security Service of Russia, the medical service of the Civil Defense and others.

Rice. 2. Schematic diagram of medical and evacuation support in the elimination of medical and sanitary consequences of small emergencies.

Depending on the medical and tactical situation, the nature of the lesion and the capabilities of a specialized medical institution, the injured person admitted to it can be left until the final treatment or evacuated to another medical institution (the next stage of medical evacuation). From the units of the VCMK, intended to provide qualified medical care with elements of specialized medical care, all the injured, after providing medical care and removing them from a non-transportable state, are evacuated to the next stage of medical care as directed. The outlined scheme for organizing medical and evacuation measures is not strictly mandatory.

Depending on the type and scale of emergencies, the number of people affected and the nature of the injuries, the availability of forces and means of the VSMK, the state of health care at the territorial and local levels, the distance from the zone (district) of the emergency, hospital-type medical institutions capable of performing the full scope of qualified and specialized medical measures assistance, and their capabilities, various options for providing medical care to those affected in emergency situations can be adopted (for the entire emergency area, its individual sectors and areas):

Rendering to the injured before their evacuation to hospital-type medical institutions only first medical or first aid;

Rendering to the injured before their evacuation to hospital-type medical institutions, in addition to first medical or first aid, as well as first medical aid;

Rendering to the injured before their evacuation to hospital-type medical institutions, except for first medical, pre-medical, first medical aid, as well as qualified medical care in various volumes.

From the foregoing, it is obvious that when eliminating the medical and sanitary consequences of small-scale emergencies, it is quite possible to use the existing system for providing medical care to the affected (sick) under normal conditions (the first of the named options), that is, the system "on-site treatment".

When planning (organizing) medical and evacuation support during the liquidation of emergencies, depending on the nature, scale, place of occurrence, availability and possibility of using units of the disaster medicine service and local medical institutions, the characteristics of the road (transport) network and other factors, it is necessary to develop (apply) various organizing the provision of medical care to the injured (sick).

An integral part of medical evacuation support, which is inextricably linked with the organization of medical care for the injured (sick) and their treatment, is medical evacuation.

Under medical evacuation understand the removal (export) of the affected from the focus, area (zone) of emergency situations and their transportation to the stages of medical evacuation in order to provide the necessary medical care in a timely manner and possibly early delivery to medical institutions where comprehensive medical care can be provided and treatment is carried out.

Medical evacuation is a complex set of organizational, medical and technical measures carried out at all levels of the system of medical and evacuation support for the injured.

It should be noted that medical evacuation, in addition to the specified goal, ensures the timely release of the stages of medical evacuation and the possibility of their reuse.

From a medical point of view, evacuation cannot be considered a positive factor for those affected in an emergency and is usually a forced event due to the current situation and the inability to organize the provision of comprehensive medical care and full treatment of the injured in the immediate vicinity of the emergency zone (region). Therefore, evacuation is not an end in itself, but only a means to achieve the best results in fulfilling one of the main tasks of the QMS - the fastest recovery of the health of those affected in emergencies, the maximum reduction in deaths. Obviously, the most gentle and fast vehicles should be used for evacuation.

The route along which the removal (export) and transportation of the affected from the lesion to the stages of medical evacuation is carried out is called through medical evacuation, and the distance from the point of departure of the affected to the destination is considered to be shoulder medical evacuation .

The totality of evacuation routes located in a strip (part) of the administrative territory of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, deployed on them functionally integrated stages of medical evacuation and working ambulance and other vehicles is called evacuation direction.

In case of a large-scale emergency, several evacuation routes can be created in the system of medical and evacuation support for the affected, as was the case during the elimination of the consequences of earthquakes in Ashgabat, Armenia and other natural disasters and catastrophes.

Medical evacuation begins with the organized removal, withdrawal and removal of the injured (sick) from the disaster zone and ends with their delivery to medical institutions that provide final treatment.

As a rule, the main means of evacuating the injured from the disaster zone to the nearest medical facility is road transport (sanitary and general purpose).

The places of loading of the affected on transport are chosen as close as possible to the lesion, outside the zone of contamination (contamination) and fires. To provide medical care and care for the injured in their places of concentration before the arrival of emergency medical teams (medical nursing, paramedical teams) and other units, medical personnel are allocated from the ambulance, rescue teams, and sanitary teams. In these places (collection points), a loading area is being prepared, medical care is being provided to the injured, and they are being sorted.

In some cases, aviation is used for medical evacuation from the emergency zone, in particular, helicopters.

Due to the fact that sanitary and adapted transport for the evacuation of the affected, as a rule, is not enough, it is necessary to use passenger and cargo vehicles. At the same time, it is necessary to foresee in advance measures for their adaptation for this purpose.

The characteristics and evacuation capabilities of vehicles that can be used to evacuate those affected in an emergency are presented in Table 1.

Medical evacuation is an integral part of medical evacuation support, which is inextricably linked with the process of providing medical care to the injured (sick) and their treatment.

Under the medical evacuation stage understand the forces and means of the medical service (surviving healthcare facilities, medical formations of the civil defense troops, etc.) deployed along the evacuation routes and intended for receiving, medical sorting of the injured, providing them with medical care, treating and preparing for further evacuation.

The first stages of medical evacuation (in the 2-stage LEM system) can be healthcare facilities that have survived on the border of the focus of mass sanitary losses, medical units (units) of the civil defense troops, etc.

The first stages of medical evacuation are designed to provide first aid, qualified emergency measures and prepare victims for evacuation to the second stages.

The second stages of medical evacuation are medical institutions (head, specialized, multidisciplinary and other hospitals) MSGO deployed as part of a hospital base in a suburban area.

At the second stages, the provision of qualified and specialized medical care, as well as rehabilitation, is completed.

Stages of medical evacuation regardless of the features, they deploy and equip functional units identical in purpose:

1. for the reception of victims, their registration, sorting and placement;

2. for sanitization;

3. for temporary isolation;

4. to provide various types of assistance (surgery, therapy, etc.);

5. for temporary and final hospitalization;

6. evacuation;

7. subdivisions of provision and maintenance.

Requirements for the deployment site of the medical evacuation stage

For the deployment of medical evacuation stages, places (districts) are selected taking into account:

1. the nature of hostilities;

2. organization of support;

3. radiation and chemical environment;

4. protective properties of the terrain;

5. availability of sources of good quality water;

6. near the routes of supply and evacuation;

7. on the ground with good masking and protective properties against weapons of mass destruction;

8. away from objects that attract the attention of artillery and enemy aircraft;

9. away from the probable direction of the enemy's main attack;

10. inaccessible (inaccessible) for tanks;

11. The area in the area where the medical evacuation stage is located should not be contaminated with toxic substances, bacterial agents, the level of radioactive contamination should not exceed 0.5 r/h.

The route along which the removal and transportation of the affected (sick) is carried out is called medical evacuation route, and the distance from the point of departure of the affected person to the destination is considered to be shoulder medical evacuation. The set of evacuation routes located at the stages of medical evacuation and operating ambulances and other vehicles is called evacuation direction eat.

Various vehicles are used to evacuate the injured and sick.

Medical evacuation begins with the organized removal, removal and removal of the victims and ends with their delivery to medical institutions that provide a full range of medical care and provide final treatment. The rapid delivery of the injured to the first and final stages of medical evacuation is one of the main means of achieving timeliness in the provision of medical care to the injured.

In war conditions, sanitary and unsuitable vehicles, as a rule, are one of the main means of evacuating the injured in the link - the disaster zone - the nearest medical institution, where the full scope of medical care is provided. If it is necessary to evacuate the affected to the specialized centers of the region or country, air transport is usually used. Due to the fact that sanitary and adapted evacuation transport will always be insufficient, and unsuitable transport must be used to evacuate the most seriously injured, it is necessary to strictly comply with the requirements of evacuation and transport sorting.

From air means for the evacuation of the injured (sick), various types of aircraft of civil and military transport aviation, and, in particular, specially equipped ones, can be used. In the cabins of aircraft, devices for stretchers are installed to accommodate sanitary equipment, medical equipment.

In war zones, the most difficult to implement in organizational and technical terms is the evacuation (removal, removal) of the affected through the rubble, fires. If it is impossible to advance to the locations of the affected vehicles, the affected vehicles are carried out on stretchers, by improvised means (boards, etc.) to the place of possible loading onto vehicles.

The evacuation from the affected objects usually begins with the arriving vehicles of medical institutions, transport attracted by the state traffic safety inspectorate, as well as the transport of regional disaster medicine centers, transport of economic facilities and motor depots. For the removal and loading of the victims, personnel of rescue units, the local population, and military personnel are involved.

Places for loading victims onto transport are chosen as close as possible to the affected areas, outside the zone of infection and fires. To care for the injured in their places of concentration, medical personnel are allocated from the ambulance, rescue teams until the arrival of emergency medical teams and other units. In these places, emergency medical care is provided, evacuation sorting is carried out and a loading area is organized.

Evacuation is carried out on the principle of "on oneself"(cars of medical institutions, regional, territorial centers of disaster medicine) and "Push"(transport of the affected object, rescue teams).

Medical evacuation is an integral part of medical evacuation measures and is continuously associated with the provision of assistance to the victims and their treatment. Medical evacuation is a forced event. it is impossible (there are no conditions) to organize comprehensive assistance and treatment in the area of mass sanitary losses.

Thus, medical evacuation is understood as a set of measures for the delivery of victims from the area of sanitary losses to the stage of medical evacuation in order to provide timely medical care and treatment. The head of MSGO plans and organizes medical evacuation (mainly on the principle of “on oneself”). From the area of mass sanitary losses to the OPM or to the head hospital, the victims are evacuated (in the direction) in one direction, then - according to the destination in accordance with the type of injury. For this purpose, MSGO sanitary and transport formations are used, as well as vehicles allocated by the heads of civil defense. For temporary accommodation of the affected waiting for transport at railway stations, airfields, ports, etc., evacuation receptacles are deployed.

The wounded taken from the battlefield are delivered to medical units, units and medical institutions, which are called stages of medical evacuation. The stage of medical evacuation is understood as the forces and means of the medical service deployed along the evacuation routes with the task of receiving, sorting the wounded, providing them with medical care, preparing for further evacuation of those in need and treatment.

The stages of medical evacuation are: a medical post of a battalion (if it is deployed to assist the wounded), a medical post of a regiment (a medical company of a brigade, a regiment), a separate medical battalion of a division (a separate medical detachment, a separate medical detachment of special purpose), military medical institutions - military field hospitals of hospital bases, rear hospitals of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia. Each stage of medical evacuation corresponds to a certain type of medical care (Fig. 1).

Rice. 1. Scheme of the modern system of medical and evacuation support for troops

Since the evacuation is carried out according to the principle “on oneself - (from the nests of the wounded - by the forces of the medical center of the battalion, from the battalion - by the transport of the medical center of the regiment, etc.), in a large-scale war, the wounded, as a rule, sequentially go through all stages of medical evacuation. However, whenever possible should strive to reduce multi-stage in helping the wounded, as this significantly improves the outcome of treatment.

Taking into account the probability of entering the stages of medical evacuation of the wounded in an amount exceeding their capacity, various volumes of medical care. For example, first aid may be provided in full(i.e. all the wounded who need it) or according to urgent indications, i.e. only to those wounded who need it to save their lives).

Not only volume, but even the type of medical care provided at a particular stage of evacuation can be changed depending on the specific conditions of the combat situation, the magnitude of sanitary losses, the provision of the medical service with forces and means, the possibility of further unhindered evacuation of the wounded (maneuvering the volume and type of medical care). So, upon admission to a separate medical battalion (the stage of providing qualified medical care) up to 1000 wounded per day, he can switch to providing only first medical aid.

An increase in the throughput of stages of medical evacuation in the conditions of a mass influx of the wounded is achieved by using standard schemes for the provision of medical care and a clear organization of the brigade-line method of work personnel of all functional departments. The activities performed by the wounded at each stage of medical evacuation are standardized, namely: reception and accommodation, medical triage, provision of appropriate medical care to all those in need in order of priority, preparation for further evacuation.

The most important element in the organization of medical care and treatment of the wounded in the war is triage- distribution of the wounded into groups according to the signs of need for homogeneous medical evacuation and preventive measures in accordance with medical indications, the volume of medical care provided and the accepted evacuation procedure. Medical triage (intrapoint and evacuation) contributes to the most efficient use of the forces and means of the medical service. Intra-item sorting - this is the distribution of the wounded into groups in accordance with the need for homogeneous therapeutic and preventive measures with the determination of the order and place of assistance at this stage of evacuation. Evacuation sorting provides for the distribution of the wounded into groups in accordance with the direction of further evacuation, the order of evacuation, the type of transport and the position of the wounded during transportation. The results of medical sorting are recorded using sorting marks, as well as in the primary medical card (form 100), the medical history.

On the way from the front to the rear, at each subsequent stage of medical evacuation, assistance to the wounded is always provided by other doctors. To ensure continuity and consistency in the provision of medical care all measures and methods of treating the wounded are strictly regulated by the "Instructions on military field surgery" and other governing documents. It also contributes military medical documentation accompanying the wounded throughout their evacuation: when providing first medical aid, a primary medical card (form 100) is filled out for each wounded person, during hospitalization - a medical history (form 102), when evacuating from the stage of providing qualified or specialized medical care, an evacuation envelope is formed ( form 104).

The system of medical and evacuation support for the population in emergency situations includes a set of scientifically based principles of organizational and practical measures to provide the affected population with medical care and treatment related to its evacuation outside the disaster zone (center) and the forces and means of the disaster medicine service intended for this .

The following main conditions influence the organization of the system of medical and evacuation support:

Type of disaster;

The size of the lesion;

The number of people affected;

The nature of the pathology, the degree of failure of the forces and means of healthcare in the disaster zone;

The state of the material and technical equipment of the QMS;

The level of personnel training;

The presence of dangerous damaging factors on the ground (RV, SDYAV, fires), etc.

The general principle of medical and evacuation support in emergencies is basically a two-stage system of medical care and treatment of the injured with their evacuation according to their destination.

Medical formations and medical institutions deployed on the evacuation routes of the affected areas (region) of the disaster and intended for mass reception, medical triage, medical care for the injured, preparing them for evacuation and treatment received the name "Stage of medical evacuation".

The first stage of medical evacuation, intended primarily for the provision of first medical and first medical aid, are medical institutions that have survived in the emergency zone, collection points for the affected, deployed by ambulance teams and medical and nursing teams that arrived in the emergency zone from nearby medical institutions. The second stage of medical evacuation is existing and functioning outside the emergency zone, as well as additionally deployed medical facilities designed to provide comprehensive types of medical care - qualified and specialized, and for the treatment of those affected to the final outcome. Each stage of medical evacuation is assigned a certain amount of medical care (a list of medical and preventive measures).

The main types of assistance in the outbreak or on its border are the First Medical, Pre-medical and First Medical Aid. Depending on the situation, elements of qualified medical care can be performed here for some categories of the affected.

At the 2nd stage of medical evacuation the provision of qualified and specialized medical care in full, treatment to the final outcome and rehabilitation is ensured.

The LEO system has the following types of medical care:

First aid;

First medical aid;

Qualified medical care;

Specialized medical care.

A characteristic feature of the provision of medical care to the affected is:

dismemberment,

Dispersion (separation) of its provision in time and on the ground as the injured are evacuated from the focus of the disaster to stationary medical institutions.

The degree of division (separation) of medical care varies depending on the medical situation in the disaster area. descending from it, the volume of medical care can also change - expand or narrow. However, measures should always be taken to save the life of the affected person and reduce (prevent) the development of dangerous complications.

Each stage of medical evacuation has its own characteristics in the organization of work. However, in its composition it is necessary to create conditions for reception, accommodation and honey. sorting of the affected, rooms for medical care, temporary isolation, dignity. treatment, temporary or definitive hospitalization, waiting for evacuation and maintenance units. To provide the 1st medical and first aid at the place where the injury was received or near it, as well as certain measures of the 1st medical aid, deployment of functional departments on the ground is not required. The need to organize the 1st stage of medical evacuation is due to the fact that the distance between the disaster area and stationary medical institutions can be significant. A certain part of the injured will not survive a long evacuation directly from the source of the disaster after providing them with only the first medical assistance received in the source or at its border. In the emergency medical service in emergency situations, two directions are objectively identified in the system of medical provision. assistance to the injured and their treatment in extreme conditions:
when rendering honey. it is possible to provide assistance to the affected in full by the forces of the facility and local territorial health care
when to eliminate honey. consequences of a major catastrophe, it is necessary to put forward mobile forces and means from other areas and regions. Due to the fact that with a two-stage system of LEO of the population in emergency situations, honey.

Assistance is divided into two main requirements:

Continuity in consistently carried out medical and preventive measures;

timeliness of their implementation.

Continuity in the provision of medical care and treatment is ensured by:

The presence of a unity of understanding of the origin and development of the pathological process, as well as uniform, pre-regulated and mandatory for medical personnel principles for the provision of medical care and treatment;

The presence of clear documentation accompanying the affected person.

Such documentation is:

Primary medical card GO (for wartime);

Primary medical card of the injured (patient) in an emergency (for peacetime);

Hospitalization card;

Disease history.

Primary medical card GO(primary medical card of the injured in an emergency) is issued for all the injured when they are provided with the 1st medical assistance, if they are subject to further evacuation, and if they are delayed for treatment for more than one day, it is used as a medical history (or is invested in the latter). When evacuating the injured, these documents follow with him. Timeliness in the provision of honey. help is achieved by a good organization of search, removal and removal (evacuation) of the affected from the outbreak to the stages of medical evacuation, the maximum approximation of the 1st stage to the areas of loss, the correct organization of work and the correct organization of medical triage.

Types of medical care

3.2.1. First aid aims to prevent further impact on the affected damaging factor, prevent the development of severe complications and thereby save the life of the affected. The effectiveness of this type of medical care is maximum when it is provided immediately, or as soon as possible after the injury. According to the WHO, every 20 out of 100 people killed in an accident in peacetime could have been saved if medical assistance had been provided to them at the scene.

With the increase in the period of provision of the 1st medical care, the frequency of complications in the affected also increases rapidly.

First aid- this is a complex of simple medical measures performed at the site of injury, mainly in the order of self- and mutual assistance, as well as by participants in rescue operations, using standard and improvised means in order to eliminate the ongoing impact of the damaging factor, save the lives of the victims, reduce and prevent the development of serious complications . The optimal time is up to 30 minutes after the injury.

First aid to the injured is provided syndromic, based on the nature, severity and localization of injuries.

The organization of emergency medical care for the injured is closely related to the phases of the development of processes in the disaster area.

Thus, during the isolation phase, which lasts from several minutes to several hours, first medical aid can be provided only by the victims themselves in the order of self-help and mutual assistance, while the degree of education of the population, the ability to use improvised means to provide assistance is of great importance. It should be borne in mind that the use of service equipment for first aid begins only upon arrival at the center of rescue units.

Scope of first aid:

1 - in disasters with a predominance of mechanical (dynamic) damaging factors:

Extraction of the victims from under the blockage (before releasing the limb from compression, a tourniquet is applied to its base, which is removed only after the limb is tightly bandaged from the periphery to the tourniquet);

Leading the blinded out of the hearth;

Extinguishing burning clothes or burning mixtures that have fallen on the body;

Fight asphyxia by freeing the airways from mucus, blood and possible foreign bodies. When the tongue falls, vomiting, profuse nosebleeds, the victim is laid on his side; when the tongue sinks, it is pierced with a pin, which is fixed from the side of the outer arch with a bandage to the neck or chin;

Artificial ventilation of the lungs using the “mouth-to-mouth” or “mouth-to-nose” method, as well as using an S-shaped tube;

Giving a physiologically advantageous position to the victim;

Closed heart massage o temporary stop of bleeding by all available means: pressure bandage, finger pressure, tourniquet, etc.;

Immobilization of the damaged area by the simplest means;

Applying an aseptic dressing to the wound and burn surface;l

Introduction using a syringe - a tube of anesthetic or antidote;

Giving water-salt (1/2 tsp soda and salt per 1 liter of liquid) or tonic hot drinks (tea, coffee, alcohol) - in the absence of vomiting and data for trauma to the abdominal organs;

Prevention of hypothermia or overheating o sparing early removal (export) of victims from the outbreak and their concentration in designated shelters;

Preparation and control over the evacuation of the injured to the nearest medical center or to the places of loading the injured onto transport.

2. In foci with a predominance of thermal injury, in addition to the above measures, the following is carried out:

Extinguishing burning clothes;

Wrap the victim in a clean sheet.

3. In case of catastrophes with release into the environment of highly active Poisonous Substances:

Respiratory, eye and skin protection;

Partial sanitization of exposed parts of the body (running water, 2% soda solution, etc.) and, if possible, degassing of clothing adjacent to them;

Giving sorbents for oral poisoning, milk, drinking plenty of water, gastric lavage in a “restaurant” way”;

The speedy removal of the affected from the zone of poisoning.

4. In case of accidents with the release of radioactive substances:

Iodine prophylaxis and the use of radioprotectors by the population, if possible;

Partial decontamination of clothing and footwear;

Providing first aid to the population in the listed volume during its evacuation from the zones of radioactive contamination.

5. In case of mass infectious diseases in the foci of bacteriological (biological) infection:

Use of improvised and (or) personal protective equipment;

Active identification and isolation of patients with fever, suspected of an infectious disease;

The use of means of emergency prevention;

Carrying out partial or complete sanitization.

3.2.2. First aid- a complex of medical manipulations carried out by medical personnel (nurse, paramedic) using standard medical equipment. It is aimed at saving the lives of those affected and preventing the development of complications. The optimal time for first aid is 1 hour after the injury.

In addition to first aid measures, the scope of first aid includes:

Introduction of an air duct, IVL using an apparatus of the “Ambu” type;

Putting on a gas mask (cotton-gauze bandage, respirator) on the affected person when he is in an infected area;

Control of cardiovascular activity (measurement of blood pressure, the nature of the pulse) and the function of the respiratory organs (frequency and depth of breathing) in the affected person;

Infusion of infusion means;

The introduction of painkillers and cardiovascular drugs;

Introduction and oral administration of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs;

Administration and administration of sedatives, anticonvulsants, and antiemetics

Giving sorbents, antidotes, etc.;

Control of the correct application of tourniquets, bandages, splints, if necessary - their correction and addition of standard medical equipment;

The imposition of aseptic and occlusive dressings.

3.2.3. First aid- a complex of therapeutic and preventive measures performed by doctors at the first (pre-hospital) stage of medical evacuation in order to eliminate the consequences of a lesion that directly threaten the life of the affected person, prevent the development of further infectious complications in the wound and prepare the victims for evacuation.

First medical aid should be provided in the first 4-6 hours after the injury. First medical aid for urgent vital indications will require an average of 25% of all sanitary losses. The leading causes of mortality on days 1 and 2 are severe mechanical trauma, shock, bleeding and impaired respiratory function, with 30% of those affected dying within 1 hour, 60% after 3 hours and if assistance is delayed for 6 hours , then 90% of those seriously affected die. Among the dead, about 10% receive injuries incompatible with life, and death was inevitable, regardless of how soon medical care was provided to them. Given the nature of the pathology and the severity of the injury in disasters, first medical aid should be provided as early as possible. It has been established that shock one hour after injury may be irreversible. When carrying out anti-shock measures in the first 6 hours, mortality is reduced by 25-30%.

Scope of first aid:

Final stop of external bleeding;

The fight against shock (the introduction of painkillers and cardiovascular drugs - novocaine blockade, transport immobilization, transfusions of anti-shock and blood-substituting fluids, etc.);

Restoration of airway patency (tracheotomy, tracheal intubation, tongue fixation, etc.);

The imposition of an occlusive dressing with open pneumothorax, etc.;

Artificial respiration by manual and hardware methods);

Closed heart massage;

Bandaging of bandages, correction of immobilization, carrying out transport amputation (cutting off a limb hanging on a skin flap);

Catheterization or puncture of the bladder with urinary retention;

The introduction of antibiotics, tetanus toxoid, tetanus toxoid and anti-gangrenous sera, and other agents that delay and prevent the development of infection in the wound;

Obstetric and gynecological care (hemostasis, wound dressing, preterm delivery, pregnancy maintenance, etc.) o emergency therapeutic care (stopping the primary reaction to external radiation, administration of antidotes, etc.).

Preparing casualties for medical evacuation.

The volume of first medical aid may change (expand or narrow) depending on the conditions of the situation, the number of the injured, the time of their delivery, the distance to the nearest medical institutions, the availability of transport for the evacuation of the injured.

The provision of first medical aid is the task of ambulance teams, medical and nursing teams that have not stopped their work at health facilities that have found themselves in places of concentration of the affected.

In addition, medical stations and medical evacuation points are being deployed in places where the injured are concentrated. It should be remembered that the transportation of seriously injured people over a distance of more than 45-60 km (1.5-2 hours) is possible only after the stabilization of vital functions, accompanied by medical workers, while carrying out the necessary intensive care measures. It should be remembered that, other things being equal, priority in the order of emergency medical care at the prehospital stage and evacuation belongs to pregnant women and children.

In catastrophes, 20% enter the Second stage of medical evacuation in a state of shock. For 65-70% of victims with mechanical trauma and burns and up to 80% of the therapeutic profile, qualified medical care is the final form.

In qualified and specialized medical care at the second stage of evacuation, 25-30% of the affected will need urgent medical and preventive measures for health reasons. The need for hospitalization of those affected with a mechanical injury will be up to 35%, and with a burn injury - up to 97%.

After providing the injured with first medical and first medical aid at the out-of-hospital stage, they are sent to hospitals located outside the disaster areas, where they should be provided with qualified and specialized medical care and where they will be treated until the final outcome.

These types of medical care provide for the fullest use of the latest advances in medicine. Their implementation completes the provision of a full range of medical care, they are exhaustive.

3.2.4. Qualified medical care- a complex of surgical and therapeutic measures performed by doctors of the appropriate training profile in hospitals of medical institutions and aimed at:

Elimination of the consequences of the lesion, primarily life-threatening, prevention of possible complications and the fight against developed ones,

Also, the provision of planned treatment of the affected until the final outcome and the creation of conditions for the restoration of impaired functions of organs and systems.

It should be provided as early as possible, but no later than 2 days. It turns out to be specialist doctors working in hospitals in the suburban area:

Surgeons - qualified surgical care,

Therapists - qualified therapeutic assistance.

In some cases, under a favorable situation (the cessation of the mass influx of victims and the first medical aid is provided to all those in need), qualified assistance can be provided in the PMO.

According to the urgency of providing qualified surgical care, they are divided into three groups:

The first group: urgent measures for health reasons, the refusal to perform which threatens the death of the affected person in the next few hours;

The second group: interventions, untimely implementation of which can lead to severe complications;

The third group: operations, the delay of which, subject to the use of antibiotics, will not necessarily lead to dangerous complications.

In a favorable environment, qualified surgical care should be provided in full (all three groups of operations are performed). The reduction in the volume of qualified surgical care is carried out by refusing to carry out the activities of the third group, and in an extremely unfavorable situation - by the activities of the 2nd group.

Qualified therapeutic helpaims to eliminate the severe, life-threatening consequences of the lesion (asphyxia, convulsions, collapse, pulmonary edema, acute renal failure), the prevention of possible complications and the fight against them to ensure further evacuation of the affected.

The measures of qualified therapeutic assistance are divided into two groups according to the urgency of its provision:

Measures (urgent) in conditions that threaten the life of the affected person or are accompanied by a sharp psychomotor agitation, intolerable skin itching in case of mustard gas lesions or threatening severe disability (damage to the OB of the eyes, etc.);

Activities that may be delayed.

In an unfavorable situation, the volume of qualified therapeutic assistance can be reduced to the activities of the 1st group.

3.2.4. Specialized medical care- a set of therapeutic and preventive measures performed by specialist doctors in specialized medical institutions (departments) using special equipment and equipment in order to maximize the restoration of lost functions of organs and systems, treatment of victims to the final outcome, including rehabilitation. Should be provided as early as possible, but not later than 3 days.

To organize specialized assistance, the following factors are necessary:

Availability of specialists;

Availability of equipment;

Availability of appropriate conditions (hospitals in the suburban area) 70% of all those affected will need specialized medical care:

With damage to the head, neck, spine, large vessels;

Thoraco - abdominal group;

Burn affected;

Those affected with ARS;

Affected by poisonous substances or potent poisonous substances;

infectious patients;

Affected with mental disorders;

Chronic somatic diseases in exacerbation.

With the simultaneous occurrence of mass losses among the population with a lack of medical forces and means, it is impossible to provide timely assistance to all those affected. In emergencies, there is always a discrepancy between the need for medical care and the ability to provide it. Medical triage is one of the means to achieve timeliness in the provision of medical care to victims.

3.3. medical triage- the method of distribution of victims into groups according to the principle of need for homogeneous treatment-and-prophylactic and evacuation measures, depending on medical indications and specific conditions of the situation.

It is carried out starting from the moment of first aid at the site (in the zone) of the emergency situation and in the pre-hospital period outside the affected area, as well as when the injured are admitted to medical institutions to receive the full amount of medical care and treatment until the final outcome.

Triage is carried out on the basis of diagnosis and prognosis. It determines the scope and type of medical care. Triage is a concrete, continuous (categories of urgency can change rapidly), repetitive and successive process in the provision of all types of medical care to victims. Based on diagnosis and prognosis. It determines the scope and type of medical care. In the focus of the lesion, at the place where the injury was received, the simplest elements of medical triage are performed in the interests of first aid. As medical personnel (emergency medical teams, medical and nursing teams, emergency medical teams) arrive in the disaster area, triage continues, becomes more specific and deepens.

The specific grouping of those injured in the process of triage varies depending on the type and volume of medical care provided, while the volume of medical care is determined not only by medical indications and the qualifications of medical personnel, but mainly by the conditions of the situation.

Depending on the tasks solved in the sorting process, it is customary to distinguish two types of medical sorting:

Intra-point - the distribution of the injured by units of this stage of medical evacuation (i.e. where, in what queue and in what volume will assistance be provided at this stage):

Evacuation and transport - distribution according to evacuation purpose, means, methods and sequence of further evacuation (i.e. in which queue, by what transport, in what position and where).

At the basis of sorting, the three main sorting features developed by Pirogov still retain their effectiveness.

I sign - danger to others. Depending on the danger to others, the degree of need for the victims in sanitary or special treatment, isolation is determined and they are divided into groups:

- requiring special (sanitary) treatment (partial or complete);

Subject to temporary isolation;

Not requiring special (sanitary) treatment.

II sign - curative- the degree of need of the victims in medical care, the order and place (medical unit) of its provision. According to the degree of need for medical care, three groups of the affected are distinguished:

Those in need of emergency medical care;

Not in need of medical attention at this stage (help may be delayed);

Affected in terminal conditions, in need of symptomatic care, with an injury incompatible with life.

III sign- uh vacuum sign- the need, the order of evacuation, the type of transport and the position of the victim in transport, the evacuation purpose. Based on this symptom, the affected are divided into groups:

Subject to evacuation to other territorial, regional medical institutions or the center of the country, taking into account the evacuation destination, priority, method of evacuation (lying or sitting), mode of transport;

To be left in this medical institution (according to the severity of the condition) temporarily or until the final outcome;

Subject to return to the place of residence (settlement) of the population for outpatient treatment or medical supervision.

For successful triage, it is necessary to create appropriate conditions at the stages of medical evacuation:

It is necessary to allocate the required amount of medical staff, creating sorting teams from it,

Provided with appropriate devices, apparatus, means of fixing the results of sorting, etc.

The triage teams should include experienced doctors of relevant specialties who are able to quickly assess the condition of the affected person, establish a diagnosis, determine the prognosis and the nature of the necessary medical care.

To calculate the need for sorting teams, you can use the following formula:

Ps. br \u003d K x Tt, where:

K - the number of affected admitted per day;

T t - time spent on sorting one victim (1.5-2min);

T - the duration of the sorting team (840 min - 14 hours).

Medical personnel of any level of training and professional competence must first selectively triage:

Identify the affected dangerous to others

By a cursory review of the affected, identify those most in need of medical care (the presence of external bleeding, asphyxia, convulsions, women in labor, children, etc.). Priority remains with those in need of emergency medical care.

After the selective sorting method, the sorting team proceeds to sequential examination of the affected. The team simultaneously examines two injured: one has a doctor, a nurse and a registrar, and the second has a paramedic (nurse and registrar). The doctor, having made a sorting decision on the 1st affected, goes to the 2nd and receives information about him from the paramedic. Having made a decision, he moves on to the 3rd affected, receiving information from the nurse. The paramedic at this time examines the 4th affected person, etc. The porter unit implements the doctor's decision in accordance with the sorting mark. With such a “conveyor” method of work, one sorting team can sort up to 30-40 stretchers affected by a traumatological profile or affected by SDYAV (with emergency care) per hour.

In the process of triage, all victims, based on an assessment of their general condition, the nature of injuries and complications that have arisen, taking into account the prognosis, are divided into 5 sorting groups:

- I sorting group - victims with extremely severe, incompatible with life injuries, as well as those in a terminal state (agonistic), who need only symptomatic treatment. The prognosis is unfavorable.

- II sorting group- victims with severe injuries, accompanied by rapidly growing life-threatening disorders of the main vital functions of the body, the elimination of which requires urgent therapeutic and preventive measures. The prognosis can be favorable if they receive timely medical care. Patients in this group need help for urgent vital signs.

- III sorting group - victims with severe and moderate injuries that do not pose an immediate threat to life, for whom assistance is provided in the 2nd stage or it can be delayed until they enter the next stage of medical evacuation;

- IV sorting group - victims with injuries of moderate severity with mild functional disorders or they are absent;

- V sorting group- Victims with minor injuries requiring outpatient treatment.

3.4. medical evacuation - this is a system of measures to remove from the disaster zone the affected, in need of medical care and treatment outside it.

It begins with the organized removal, withdrawal and removal of victims from the disaster zone, where they are provided with first aid, and ends with their delivery to medical institutions of the second stage of medical evacuation, which ensures the provision of a full range of medical care and final treatment. The rapid delivery of the injured to the first and final stages of medical evacuation is one of the main means of achieving timeliness in the provision of medical care and combining medical evacuation measures dispersed in the area and in time into a single whole.

The ultimate goal of evacuation- hospitalization of the victim of the appropriate profile in a medical institution, where the victim will be provided with a full amount of medical care and final treatment (evacuation as directed).

Evacuation is carried out according to the principle “to oneself” (ambulances of medical institutions, emergency medical care centers, etc.) and “away from oneself” (by transport of the injured object, rescue teams, etc.).

The general rule for transporting the injured on a stretcher is:

Irremovability of stretchers, and their replacement from the exchange fund

Loading vehicles, if possible, single-profile in nature (surgical, therapeutic, etc. profile) and localization of the lesion greatly facilitates evacuation not only in the direction, but also for the intended purpose, minimizing inter-hospital transportation.

During the evacuation of the injured in a state of mental arousal, measures are taken to exclude the possibility of their falling from the transport (fixation to the stretcher with straps, the introduction of sedative drugs, the observation of the lightly injured, and sometimes the selection of accompanying persons).

The evacuation of the affected from the foci of SDYAV is organized in accordance with general principles, although it has some peculiarities. The evacuation of patients from the centers of especially dangerous infectious diseases, as a rule, is not carried out or is sharply limited.

If it is necessary to implement it, compliance with the requirements of the anti-epidemic regime should be ensured in order to prevent the spread of infection along evacuation routes:

Allocation of special evacuation routes;

Non-stop movement through settlements, along the streets of cities;

Availability of disinfectants in vehicles and collection of secretions from patients;

Transport escort by medical staff;

Organization of sanitary checkpoints when leaving the outbreaks, etc.
