When treating a chest wound with the potential for open hemopneumothorax using a chest seal, it is important that it efficiently drain fluid from the chest cavity. We tested the ability of commercial and novel chest seal designs to drain fluid from a simulated chest wound.Methods: Eight novel laminar chest seal designs were created and compared to six commercially available chest seals. Closed-cell foam with a hole was used to simulate a chest wound. Fluid pressures of 10, 30, and 100cmH2O were tested. Mean flow rate through the chest seals was calculated. The percentage of the laminar channels completely saturated with fluid was also measured. The effect of laminar channel width and quantity on the dependent variables was determined.Results: Novel chest seals with the highest flow rates were comparable to commercial chest seals with the highest flow rates at all pressures. Channel saturations were also similar between novel and commercial chest seals. As the width of the laminar channels increased so too did flow rate (p=.048), while the percentage of channel saturation decreased (p=.006). As the quantity of channels increased, the flow rate tended to increase (p=.02), and percentage of channel saturation decreased (p=.03).Conclusions: Laminar vented chest seals with wider channel widths and more channels had higher flow rates and lower percentages of channel saturation. Certain novel chest seal designs used in this study were comparable to commercial designs in flow rate and percentage of channel saturation.","PeriodicalId":53630,"journal":{"name":"Journal of special operations medicine : a peer reviewed journal for SOF medical professionals","volume":" ","pages":"17-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143658800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In June 2024, the Consortium for Health and Military Performance Warrior Heat and Exertion Related Event Collaborative published a Joint Clinical Practice Guideline for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of exertional heat illness, which outlines best practices in the diagnosis and management of EHI, including prevention, prehospital care, emergency department care, inpatient hospital care, and return to duty guidelines. In the Special Operations community, recognition and early treatment via rapid cooling to a body core temperature of 39.0-39.2°C (102.0-102.5°F) within 30 minutes from the time of injury recognition are the most crucial concepts to follow to reduce the morbidity and mortality of EHI.

In the DVM group, the time to complete TT was shorter than that of CTT, but the time difference was not statistically significant (CTT: 239.6 [SD 251.7] s vs. TT: 133.4 [SD 88.0] s). In the MD group, the TT damage score was statistically higher than the CTT damage score (CTT: 0 vs. TT: 1.6 [SD 0.9], P<.01).

However, no studies have evaluated the impacts of BD on warfighter performance at higher elevations. This study evaluated the effects of BD on high-altitude combat-load carry performance in acclimatized military personnel following BD.Methods: Thirteen acclimatized military personnel (age: mean 28 [SD 6] years; height mean 175 [SD 7] cm; weight: mean 78.4 [SD 9.1] kg; residence elevation 2,100m) completed two 3.2-km rucksack carries (mean 24.2 [SD 2.1] kg from 2800 to 3,050m, one without BD (control) and one after BD.

France's use of high-level physicians in hot zones contrasts with Australia's reliance on paramedics. This study evaluates the skillsets, effectiveness, and efficiency of Australia's paramedic response to intentional mass violence incidents (IMVI) compared to France's Service d'aide médicale urgente (SAMU), which deploys physicians and integrates seamlessly with hospital care. Findings reveal that trained Australian paramedics can deliver the minimal lifesaving interventions (LSIs) required at the point of injury; meanwhile, physicians can manage complicated cases in cold zones. Deploying highly trained clinicians into threat areas, as with the Queensland Ambulance Services (QAS) High Acuity Response Unit (HARU), may waste resources better allo- cated to the cold zone. Embedding clinicians within tactical groups may enhance survival rates, operational success, and cost-effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":53630,"journal":{"name":"Journal of special operations medicine : a peer reviewed journal for SOF medical professionals","volume":" ","pages":"55-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims of this systematic review were to a) profile MSK injuries sustained by SOF personnel and b) identify evidence-based injury prevention strategies.Methods: Registered with the Open Science Framework, the protocol followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Of the 3,773 studies identified, 14 met the eligibility criteria, with 6 additional studies identified following screening of the reference lists of the included studies. Extracted data were summated in five naturally occurring MSK injury themes: 1) incidence in SOF populations; 2) anatomical location; 3) nature; 4) mechanism; and 5) risk factors.Results: Injury incidence ranged from 8 to 846 injuries per 1,000 personnel per year with the lower extremities as the most reported site of injury. The leading nature of MSK injuries were strains and sprains, while the most common mechanism of injury was physical training. Smoking, physical performance, movement limitations, muscular asymmetries, and imbalances were reported as factors that can increase MSK injury risk.Conclusion: This review informs injury prevention strategies within SOF populations, notably, reducing run mileage and alternating running with weight load walking, educating Operators on proper lifting technique, and analyzing force plate testing data to guide program design and implementation.","PeriodicalId":53630,"journal":{"name":"Journal of special operations medicine : a peer reviewed journal for SOF medical professionals","volume":" ","pages":"96-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143598561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
