Advances in trauma care have accelerated over the past decade, spurred by the significant burden of injury from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2005 and 2013, the case fatality rate for United States service members injured in Afghanistan decreased by nearly 50 percent, despite an increase in the severity of injury among U.S. troops during the same period of time. But as the war in Afghanistan ends, knowledge and advances in trauma care developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) over the past decade from experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq may be lost. This would have implications for the quality of trauma care both within the DoD and in the civilian setting, where adoption of military advances in trauma care has become increasingly common and necessary to improve the response to multiple civilian casualty events. Intentional steps to codify and harvest the lessons learned within the military's trauma system are needed to ensure a ready military medical force for future combat and to prevent death from survivable injuries in both military and civilian systems. This will require partnership across military and civilian sectors and a sustained commitment from trauma system leaders at all levels to assure that the necessary knowledge and tools are not lost. A National Trauma Care System defines the components of a learning health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This report provides recommendations to ensure that lessons learned over the past decade from the military's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq are sustained and built upon for future combat operations and translated into the U.S. civilian system.

Around 1 in 6 of the world’s children live in a conflict zone, and of these 357 million children, 165 million are affected by high intensity conflicts. Pediatric war injuries pose a huge challenge to health professionals treating such patients. The evidence base on the quality and scale of this challenge is scarce, and the majority of clinicians treating these patients are either not sufficiently experienced in the treatment of war injuries, are not pediatric surgeons, or both. The majority of the evidence in the literature comes from a small subset of children who were managed in well-resourced military facilities that differ drastically from the conditions in which the majority of war wounded children are treated. This book - the first of its kind - is a comprehensive and state-of-the art guide for both local and humanitarian non-pediatric specialists who are often forced to operate on and treat children with war injuries with little or no previous experience or training. It provides healthcare workers in conflict settings with knowledge and practical advice on the entire continuum of care, from point of injury, to treatment and reconstruction, to rehabilitation and mental health support. It is comprised of concise yet comprehensive overviews of the current status of the pediatric war casualty patient treatment and will help guide patient management based on evidence from the literature, clinical and surgical experience and ongoing research and will stimulate investigative efforts in this dynamic and active field of war medicine. The book draws on the knowledge and long experience of clinicians at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, one of the largest tertiary care and referral centers in the Middle East, which has been the foremost civilian academic hospital treating war injuries, both adult and pediatric, initially from the Lebanese war and then the Iraqi and Syrian wars.

Understanding the very real, life-altering condition of P.T.S.D., its treatment and cure: A product of all wars Identifying the symptoms Treatment and finding a cure Reducing or Preventing P.T.S.D. Living a normal life With thirty-two years of professional experience serving in the military at various levels of command, Colonel Paul D. Walker has himself experienced battle fatigue, also known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and has observed up-close, the devastating psychological effects that intense combat can have on trained, professional soldiers. Only during the last few years has he witnessed military doctors begin to diagnose P.T.S.D. and actively treat this condition as a legitimate combat injury. Walker chronicles some of his own military experiences and delves into the complexities of battle fatigue and traumatic brain injury, conditions that have been around since humans first engaged in mortal combat. Examining the last three major wars involving American participation, with particular attention to conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, Walker clearly illustrates examples and causes of battle fatigue via personal interviews with veterans and healthcare professionals and provides insights into the latest treatments and cures available. Filled with hope, Battle Fatigue: Understanding PTSD and Finding a Cure provides a compassionate and empathetic understanding of the causes and symptoms of battle fatigue, and creates a greater appreciation for the veteran's family and the related psychological damage and health care costs involved. It also includes resources to help those affected by this serious condition.
