Subj:
Combined Injury
CCNCLUSIONS :
Combined thermal and radiation injuries represent a
relatively small fraction of the total casualty load, Combined
blast and thermal injuries represent an undetermined portion of
the total casualty load.
There is no evidence to indicate that radiant energy
burns and radiation will materially affect the clinical management of patients.
RECUMMEN DA-
Further work is required to evaluate the problem of
TIONS:
fractures complicated with burns.
