Jan Betlach wrote that the American army studied Israeli combat medical procedures in order to increase the chances of injured soldiers' survival. According to his contribution, the share of deaths among the injured decreased from approximately 15% during the Second Lebanon War in 2006 to 7% in the Iron Sword War. Betlach stated that the Israeli army implemented doctors in every company, blood products for on-site treatment, and real-time patient data sharing. Referring to the Israeli army, he wrote that blood products have been used since 2013 and that it was the first in the world to provide plasma to the injured in the field instead of saline solution. He also mentioned rapid evacuation to hospitals, in the most severe cases by helicopter, and the availability of advanced emergency care immediately or within four minutes; in 2006, it took 15 to 20 minutes according to him. In April, according to Betlach, the American army issued a 78-page report recommending the adoption of Israeli procedures. Its authors wrote that Israel underwent a painful transformation directly in combat and that the United States can avoid it. Betlach also noted that a spokesperson for the Israeli army described the report as a result of cooperation between the two armies and stated that American officers came to gain experience. https://t.co/HFQD5mS5Rx https://t.co/CJty7LjEkh #armáda #medicína #zdravotníctví (translated)
