Excelsior Surgical Society Edward D Churchill Lecture. Changes in combat casualty care.

There have been many positive changes in combat casualty care since Desert Storm. The Air Force has made a major change and significant improvement in combat casualty care, which is aided by the United States Army and Navy. The current care is second to none, including rehabilitation. This improvement in care and outcomes is due to the dedication of the doctors, nurses, corpsmen, pilots, and the incredible support services that make it happen.
