Comparative characteristics of domestic and foreign means of the first aid on the battlefield and in the epicentre of emergency situation. The results of comparative analysis of domestic and foreign means of the first aid on the battlefield and in the epicentre of emergency situation are presented. It was found that the first aid means used in the Armed Forces are effective and allow performing specified activities, regardless of the qualifications and assisting skills. Modern innovative means of providing emergency and urgent care may be used on the stages of medical evacuation of military and military hospitals.

The treatment of most severely injured patients represents a great challenge for the trauma room team. Besides the time factor, which is a crucial cornerstone of the treatment in general and of the appropriate treatment of life-threatening injuries in particular, minor injuries and non-life-threatening injuries must also be taken into account. For this task, multidisciplinary processes play a paramount role. Advanced Trauma Life Support®, Definitive Surgical Trauma Care and the European Trauma Course represent training concepts, which predefine structured diagnostic and treatment procedures. These concepts allocate the highest treatment priority to injuries that may be immediately fatal for the patient. Besides those life-threatening injuries that are commonly summarised under the term "deathly six", other minor traumas should also be assessed and treated in a structured manner as they may often considerably affect the quality of life after trauma.
