Blood loss in peacetime is
mainly due to the normal menstrual cycle in women or diseases with surgical intervention. In
wartime, blood loss in military personnel is a characteristic sign of a closed
or open injury of the body during internal or external bleeding. Access to
clinical care for wounded military personnel injured on the battlefield is
limited and has long delays compared to patients in peacetime. Most of the
deaths of wounded military personnel on the battlefield occur within the first
hour after being wounded. The most common causes are delay in providing medical
care, loss of time for diagnosis, delay in stabilization of pain shock and
large blood loss. Some help in overcoming these problems is provided by the
data in the individual capsule, which each soldier of the modern army
possesses; however, data in an individual capsule is not sufficient to provide
emergency medical care in field and hospital conditions. This paper considers aproject for development of a smart real-time
monitoring wearablesystem for blood loss and level of shock stress in
wounded personson the battlefield, which provides medical staff in
field and hospital conditionswith the necessary information to give timely
medical care. Although the hospital will require additional information, thebasic information about the victims will already be
known before he enters the hospital. It is important to emphasize that the key
term in this approach is monitoring. It is tracking, and not a one-time
measurement of indicators, that is crucial in a valid definition of bleeding.
