Summary. The objective of the study was to determine the most significant indicators of the treatment and evacuation characteristics of wounded military personnel with combat surgical trauma, who received medical care from specialists of the combined medical teams (CMT) of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency during the Special Military Operation.
Research materials and methods. The study materials include reports from the district medical centers of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency on the procedure for the formation, preparation for work, application, and functioning of the CMTs that participated in the provision of medical care and medical evacuation of wounded and injured civilians, and sick military personnel during the Special Military Operation (February 2022 – June 2025); reports (certificates-reports) of the Operational Control Center of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency and the heads of the CMTs; data from a questionnaire survey of 192 medical specialists of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency participating in the activities of the CMTs, functioning in the general system of treatment and evacuation support for participants in the Special Military Operation; Proceedings of a 2025 seminar on the exchange of experience on the topic “Procedure for the formation and operation of combined medical teams when they participate in the overall system of providing medical care to victims during a Special Military Operation”; scientific publications on the research topic.
The total number of military patients whose data were the subject of the study was 37,854, including 29,646 wounded with combat surgical trauma.
Research methods: statistical data processing and generalization methods, logical and information modeling methods, and an analytical method.
Research results and their analysis. The most significant indicators of the treatment and evacuation characteristics of military patients with combat surgical trauma who received medical care from CMT specialists during the Special Military Operation from February 2022 to June 2025 are presented. Proposals have been developed and substantiated to improve the organization of medical and diagnostic work in the CMT. Their implementation could create conditions for the rational use of available medical resources and improve the effectiveness of saving lives and preserving the health of patients, especially in military conflicts.
