Considerable improvements have occurred in the care of injured patients since the
times of World War I and II. This has been brought about not only by
technological advances but also due to improved training of doctors and nurses in
providing trauma care. Important elements of combat trauma training are realism,
human-specific injuries and treatments, volume of trauma exposure, and team
building. In all modern armies training is imparted using human simulators and
mannequins, human cadavers, occasionally live animals but more often using animal
tissues. Worldwide trauma training courses are mandatory for both paramedics and
medical officers. There is a need to set up an organised system of trauma
training in India and we, in the Armed Forces have to capitalize on the wealth of
combat and non-combat trauma experience, in setting up such courses.
