We discuss general concepts and organization of combat casualty care. We identify important issues regarding physiologic monitoring of combat casualties and examine inherent limitations of this monitoring. Effective and practical techniques for monitoring the cardiovascular, pulmonary, central nervous, renal, and coagulation systems are presented in detail.
