DECISION MAKING WITHIN THE DEPLOYED ENVIRONMENT

The damage control approach is vital in a proportion of war injuries, but thought must be given to available resources.

In this mode of care. In contrast, decision making becomes more crucial within the austere environment. Theatre space, intensive care beds, - equipment and blood products may be limited. Long e vacua - tion times may contraindicate per missive hypotension. Limited resources, such as blood, may need to be divided among casualties. Within a role 1 or role 2 facility , immediate evacuation may be undertaken in preference to more thorough stabilisation. Decision making of this na ture is complex and di ffi cult and requires practice in the context of simulation, exercises and courses. - DECISION MAKING WITHIN THE DEPLOYED ENVIRONMENT
