  • Title: Perioperative perspective of a United Nations humanitarian mission.
    Author: Smith SD, Smith KA.
    Journal: AORN J; 1995 Dec; 62(6):875-83. PubMed ID: 9128744.
    Abstract:
    The use of deployable medical systems is not new to the US Army, but their use in support of United Nations peacekeepers is new. This article describes one Army unit's experience near Zagreb, Croatia, in 1993. The physical location, language and cultural barriers, and difficulty obtaining supplies posed significant challenges to those involved. The focus is on the OR team: its capabilities, achievements, and importance during this mission.
