Abstract

Traditional triage could not meet the needs of battlefield casualties' care in modern warfare. This paper designs of triage and medical evacuation system for casualties at sea that can quickly address mass-casualty triage, and store and transmit medical information during battlefield treatment and medical evacuation. This system consists of a high-capacity medical information card, a simulated patient generator, a triage classifier and a multifunctional airbag triage vest.
