Abstract:
In the third installment of the "Lest We Forget" series, the authors discuss a critical advance-vascular repair, pioneered by Dr. Carl Hughes-in the care of the war-wounded during the Korean War. This article reviews the management of large vessel injuries in wartime, the challenges and advances in military medicine during the Korean War, and the application of these lessons to current practices.
