Objective:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the incidence of asphyxia, therapeutic measures, the outcomes of treatment of the wounded with impaired secure airway and to assess the effectiveness of the prototype: «one-time set to eliminate asphyxia (conicotomy)» UK-02 (state defense order LLC «NOVOPLAST-M»).
Material And Methods:
The basis of the analysis was the material of 2047 case histories-clinical test data on armed conflicts of Military Field Surgery Department of the Military Medical Academy named after S. M. Kirov. Development and evaluation of the effectiveness of the prototype set of UK-02 to eliminate asphyxia in the course of experimental studies was carried out on 6 biological objects (pigs).
Results:
The incidence of asphyxia is 1.5% according to national data and 8-13% according to the results of studies by foreign authors.
Conclusion:
Complete and service equipment-a one-time set of UK-02 (to eliminate asphyxia (conicotomy) will reduce prehospital mortality and significantly improve the outcomes of treatment of the wounded with severe damage to organs and tissues of the maxillofacial region, ENT organs and pathological processes accompanied by impaired secure airway.
