casualty care
Treating the wounded
Casualty care is medical treatment given to injured people, especially in military or emergency contexts.
The term encompasses first aid through advanced trauma care, often under difficult conditions: battlefield casualty care, tactical casualty care training.
In military usage, it specifically addresses wounds from combat—hemorrhage control, airway management, and stabilization for transport.
