ABSTRACT
Face to various disaster and dilemma, the tasks of national rescue team were fast and effective rescue, and reducing the harm of life and damage of property, and decreasing each damage to the lowest point. The ability of national rescue team could reflect the strength and developed degree of a national, it further more manifested the levels of medical rescue team. Face to major disasters, it was vital to provide humanitarian assistance for the affected people in disaster areas at the first time. Many developed countries have established national rescue teams and equipped various kinds of rescue equipment, and the disaster relief of medical team was regarded as the main force in emergency health rescue for disaster. refer to the constitution and equipment of national rescue team of developed countries has an important guiding role for perfection of emergency medical rescue in China.

ABSTRACT
After the outbreak of the Korean war, the Kingdom of Sweden, a permanent neutral nation, dispatched the Swedish Red Cross Field Hospital(SRCFH) instead of armed forces for humanitarian support to the allied forces in South Korea. The Hospital consisted of about 170 Swedes, all volunteers. From the early part of the Korean War, SRCFH took part in the medical assistance in Busan. When the frontline advanced to northern Korea, the number of inflowing casualties to this field hospital decreased. At that time, earnest medical aid for civilians commenced, and many Koreans were treated in available beds in SRCFH. After the armistice in July 1953, SRCFH became the Swedish Hospital in Busan, serving not only the military but also civilians, and continued its humanitarian mission until April 1957 for the Korean who were suffering from a collapsed medical system inthe midst of war. When the Hospital returned to Sweden, it had treated over two million patients from twenty countries, including wounded UN allied force, Korean (south and north), Chinese prisoner of war and Korean civilian. Moreover, it left a transformative legacy, the National Medical Center in Seoul which was established in collaboration with other Scandinavian countries who dispatched medical assistance during the Korean War.

Objective To study the value of ultrasound in operation for traumatic brain injury (TBI) in simulation field hospitals where computed tomography (CT) equipment is unavailable.Methods The wartime conditions were simulated, and the patients at age of 18-60 years were randomly selected.According to the principles of medical ethics, all patients received CT scanning.Two neurosur-geons from the field hospital who did not know the result of CT examination cooperated with another two neurosurgeons who got the results of the CT examination to determine whether operation should be ap-plied.Forty-five patients who needed emergency craniotomy were finally selected.The operations were performed by two neurosurgeons from the field hospital, with real-time ultrasound monitoring.The results of ultrasound were compared with that of CT scanning.Results A total of 64 lesions were found by ul-trasound , and 60 of which should be treated by operation.In the meantime, 82 lesions were found by CT scanning, 64 of which should be treated operatively.Epidural hematoma and subdural hematoma had high ultrasound detection rate, followed by intracerebral hematoma, subdural effusion and brain contusion.The overall detection rate of ultrasound was 87.1%.Conclusion Ultrasound plays an important role in correctly finding the focus so as to reduce blind operation and avoid omission of the focus in field hospi-tals, where CT equipment is usually unavailable.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the injuries in Jiangyou Field Hospital first week after Wenchuan earthquake,and accumulate experience for better medical services and better-built field hospitals to meet the demands of the earthquake-stricken areas.Methods Classification was performed in 1 905 patients with emergency treatment.The medical records of those with hospital stay were retrospectively analysed,including geographical distribution,trauma type,diagnosis,initial treatment and outcomes.Results Six hundred and twenty-nine(33%)patients were hospitalized,with an average of 2 to 100 years old(median,41.2).Three hundred and eighty-four patients(61%)were admitted within the first three days after earthquake.The patients were mainly from Jiangyou City(245,39%),Beichuan County(194,31%)and Pingwu County (158,25%).The most common types of injuries were superficial lacerations(326,51.8%),fractures(202,32.1%) and soft tissue contusions/sprains(87,13.9%),among whom 15 experienced severe squeeze.There were 318 injuries to pelvis and extremities(50.6%),117 to head(18.6%)and 43 to back(6.8%),and 73 cases had multiple injuries (11.6%).Of 376 patients(59.8%)with operation,326 received debridement,21 external fixation,19 internal fixation, 11 amputation,4 laparotomy,4 fasciotomy and 2 craniotomy.The incidence of postoperative infections was 11.8%.Death occurred in 39 patients due to cerebral trauma,pelvic fracture,abdominal hemorrhage and multiple injuries.Conclusion When the earthquake has destroyed the major medical facilities,rapid organization of medical rescue teams,making full use of remaining medical resources and recovering electricity play an important role in the rescue of victims and reduction of mortality.Orthopaedic surgeons must dominate the medical teams as most of the earthquake victims suffer from injuries to the extremities.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE Based on the epidemiologic data, to provide the effective measures to control nosocomial infection in field hospital. METHODS The views in literatures on medical treatments in war conditions and the practical measures for control and prevention of nosocomial infection were summarized. RESULTS Nine steps must be taken in order to effectively control and prevent nosocomial infection, including making plans and measures, preparing important materials, training medical staff, prevention educating, sterilizing, cutting off pathogenic source, monitoring, reasonable antibiotics applying, and protecting susceptible people. CONCLUSIONS In field hospital, effective prevention and control of nosocomial infection is the premises of improving healing rate and rejoining rate of the wounded.

ABSTRACT
The XCY2002-1/200 field battle X-ray diagnosis vehicle is widely applied in earthquake rescue in field hospital. This vehicle has the advantages of rapid deploying and retraction, simple and stable installation, flexible operation, powerful function, secure protection, etc. It also has the disadvantages in power supply system, filter and film development apparatus. The XCY2002-1/200 field battle X-ray diagnosis vehicle can be widely applied in field hospitals, but improvement is needed to meet the requirements in multiple military affairs.
