The surgery at the hospital in Slavonski Brod in war condition

Autori u članku razrađuju unaprijed definirane organizacijske probleme i ciljeve u pripremi Kirurškog odjela bolnice Slavonski Brod za funkcioniranje u ratnim uvjetima. Osnovno obilježje proteklih ratnih zbivanja su dva vremenska perioda; prvi od 25. ožujka 1992. koji obilježava relativan mir i niz organizacijskih zahvata na razinama od samog odjela, pa sve do Ministarstva zdravlja, te drugim razdobljem od 25. ožujka 1992. kada s otvaranjem bojišnice u Bosanskoj Posavini, započinju izravna ratna razaranja Broda i okolice. Ova dva razdoblja razlikuju i stope smrtnosti: 2,08% u prvom, te 2,8% u drugom. Brojevi od 387 vanjskih fiksacija, 203 rekonstruirane krvne žile te 188 operiranih bolesnika zbog kraniocerebralnih ozljeda, samo sujedan segment kazuistike od 5 910 žrtava rata evidentiranih u našoj ustanovi od početka rata do 28. kolovoza 1992. godine.The autors treat in their article the organizational problems and aims in the preparation of the Department of Surgery of the Hospital in Slavonski Brod for work in war conditions. These problems and aims were defined previously. The main feature of the recent war events are two periods. The first one from March 25, 1992 which is characterized by relative peace and a number of organizational measures beginning at the level of wards themselves up to the Ministry of Health. The second period started on March 25, 1992 after the opening of the front line in the Bosnian Posavina when direct war destruction of Brod and its surroundings started. These two periods differ also in their respective mortality rates: 2,08% in the first one and 2,8% in the second one. The numbers of 387 external fixations, 203 blood vessel reconstructions and 188 operated and brain injuries are only one segment of 5910 war victims registered in our Department since the beginning of the war on August 28, 1991
