This guideline is aimed at the provider operating in an austere, limited resource setting. Providers have varying levels of knowledge, training, and experience in basic critical care concepts. It is not intended to be all inclusive, but to spur further thinking and identify areas where resource limitations or known disease specific caveats change usual practice. The management strategy described is designed for a 24-hour hold of a single critically ill patient and is tailored to the equipment and medications typically available in austere operational settings (Role 1 and Expeditionary Role 2).

 

The Joint Trauma System (JTS) is focused on the standard of care for prehospital battlefield medicine. The JTS is a Department of Defense, Center of Excellence for Trauma providing clinical practice guidelines and performance improvement for all levels of military trauma care.
