Abstract

Hemorrhagic shock is the leading cause of death and complications in combat casualties as well as in civilian trauma. Analysis of the historical data demonstrates that the mortality rates from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam conflict are not only very similar but have also not shown any improvement over this period. Additionally, the rates of soldiers who died of wounds (DOW; death after reaching treatment facility) during the Vietnam conflict did not improve in spite of the rapid evacuation times (Table 1) (1).
