A survey of triage systems in combat casualty care for providing a revised system

Purpose: Triage is a complicated and dynamic process in nature. Moreover, there are many challenges in selecting the required information about the casualties, the wounded, and the type of accident at the time of crisis. Hence, this research was undertaken to present a new strategy for efficiently triaging casualties in the battlefield. Methodology: In this review, two methods of field and library research were used. The data were collected through related books and papers. Then interviews were done to validate the collected data. Results: The analyses led to an operational, tactical model for triage, which is a step-by-step triage under enemy’s attack and vital measures to rescue the wounded. Conclusion: Learning and applying the three-step tactical combat casualty care will help the medics offer the right medical care at the right time to a larger number of the wounded within the battlefield.
