ABSTRACT

The relationship between medicine and war casualties has occurred always. Mortality from trauma has been, and still is, very high. The person who suffers a trauma frequently dies where the injury occurs because of lesion to vital organs, but on other occasions death is secondary to deep metabolic disorders. Since the First World War (1914-1918), all hostilities have awakened great interest in the study of metabolic problems in trauma and all knowledge acquired was utilized afterward in civilian medicine, not only for trauma casualties but also for metabolic care of the surgical patient. This research attempts to present the history of those events.
