| Popis: | The fierce and abrupt aggression on Croatia in 1991-1992, characterized by practically no border between the battlefield and the rear, communication breakdown, destroyed economy, and great psychological impact on both civilians and army units imposed the need of high-professional, independent mobile medical corps units qualified for providing highly differentiated health care immediately upon wound infliction, and for efficient evacuation and transportation of patients in extremely difficult conditions. The structure and work of the Medical Corps Unit working as a mobile surgical team of the Croatian Army Brigade 105 from Bjelovar, Croatia, from September 1, 1991 till October 1, 1992 is presented. With such a unit structure, the time of patient transfer to operative theater was considerably reduced, thus decreasing the overall patient morbidity and mortality, and minimizing the definitive grade of disability. During the study period, 242 operative procedures were performed in 228 patients, 222 of these in local anesthesia and 20 in general anesthesia. The overall Brigade 105 mortality was 2.16%. Snažna i iznenadna agresija na Hrvatsku tijekom 1991. i 1992. godine, praktično izjednačavanje bojišnice i pozadine, prekinute prometnice, gospodarsko osiromašenje te snažan psihološki učinak kako na civilno stanovništvo tako i na vojne postrojbe zahtijevali su osnivanje visokostručnih, neovisnih mobilnih sanitetskih timova osposobljenih za pružanje visoko diferencirane zdravstvene zaštite neposredno nakon nastanka ozljede te za evakuaciju i prijevoz ranjenika pod najtežim uvjetima. Prikazuje se rad i organizacija brigadnog sanitetskog voda 105. brigade Hrvatske vojske iz Bjelovara u razdoblju od 1. rujna 1991. do 1. listopada 1992. godine, koji je djelovao kao mobilna kirurška ekipa. Ovakav ustroj je skratio put ozlijeđenih prema kirurškoj sali i tako smanjio pobol i smrtnost ranjenika, a konačni invaliditet sveo na najmanju moguću mjeru. U navedenom razdoblju liječeno je 228 ranjenika u kojih su izvedena 242 operacijska zahvata, od toga 122 u lokalnoj, a 20 u općoj anesteziji. Ukupna smrtnost u 105. brigadi bila je 2,16%. |
