Abstract

Battlefied is an invitable accident with different mass casualties from superficial to very serious injuries the most important point is triage and immediate manegement from fronts to the second line hospitals and a comprehensive record of some war casualties that were admitted in shohada hospital surgery ward between 1984 and 1386. In these cases we evaluated the trauma data registration and medical records. From 151 Patients medical records 69 (45.7%) were complete and 82 (54.3%) incomplete and not useful. However, the records in 96 (63.6%) cases were enough, while 55 (36.4%) cases were unsuitable to evaluate. Because of these two problems some reoperations and sometimes unnecessary operation had been happened, wich obviously had increased the number of expired patients. Unsuitable medical records in martyred was6131 percent, so we have to revise the medical guide lines and records in our military forces.
