    Abstract:
    Broad usage of helicopters for an evacuation of wounded from the battle orders and forward aid station directly to Multiprophyle Military Hospitals of 1-st level during armed conflicts on Northern Caucasus has essentially changed the purposes and nature of a medical care to wounded in Separate Medical Battalions (SMB) of divisions. The primary goal of SMB became valuable preparedness of wounded to an evacuation from the battle orders of a division, that was reached by moving out of the surgeons and anesthesiologists to regimental aid station and medical companies. For adding up during armed conflicts on Northern Caucasus of medico tactical conditions it was justified: 73% wounded, admitted in SMB with damages of minimal and mean severity and not required emergency operations, after rendering them of initial physician care were evacuated by helicopters to Multiprophyle Military Hospitals of 1-st level. The analysis of experience of three SMB in Armed conflict 1999-2002 has shown, that the measures of initial surgical care should appear only for saving life of injured under the specially designed indications and with observance of a number of the relevant technical features, directional on acceleration and decreasing of surgical operations severity.
