ABSTRACT

Objective To approach the directive function of time efficiency of first-aid to war wound and trauma. Methods To analyse the relationship between time and war wound or trauma death based on the statistical data of those wounds, then to define the time window of first aid aiming at the peak value of death. Results Bleeding and asphyxia should be virtually controlled in “emergency platinum 10 minutes”, resuscitation from shock should be within 30 minutes, at the same time, a definite operation to save life should be performed in “golden an hour”. Conclusions It is important to raise the time efficiency in each stage by training and improving the military affairs. To spread the first-aid knowledge may decrease cripples and mortality.
