Recent conflicts have led significant advancements in casualty care. Facilities serving combat wounded operate in challenging environments. Our purpose is to describe the multidisciplinary resuscitation algorithm utilized at a United Kingdom-led, Role 3 multinational treatment facility in Afghanistan focusing on injury severity and in-hospital mortality. METHODS: Data were extracted from our prospectively collected @entity130 registry on military members wounded in action. RESULTS: From November 1, 2009 to September 30, 2011, there were 3483 military @entity130 admissions. Common mechanisms of injury were improvised explosive devices (48%), followed by gunshot wounds (29%). Most @entity1 (83.1%) had an Injury Severity Score (ISS) <15. For @entity1 with complete ISS data, 8.4% had massive transfusion and 6.1% had an initial base deficit >5. @entity1 admitted with signs of life had a died of wounds rate of 1.8% with an average 1.2 day hospital stay. The mortality rate for @entity1 undergoing massive transfusion was 4.8%, and for @entity1 with a base deficit >5, mortality was 12.3%. Severely injured @entity1 (ISS > 24) had a mortality rate of 16.5%. CONCLUSION: A systematic, multidisciplinary approach to @entity130 is associated with low in-hospital mortality. The outcomes in this study serve as a measure for future care in Role 3 facilities.
