Abstract

As an important medical support component for the army to preserve and enhance combat effectiveness and minimize the reduction rate of combat personnel, war trauma treatment has been highly valued. Modern war puts forward higher requirements for the pertinence, practicality, and efficiency of war trauma treatment training. With the comprehensive development of national defense and military modernization, the contradiction between the increasing demand of modern war medical service and the relatively backward training mode of war trauma treatment becomes more and more prominent. As a new practical technology, virtual reality technology can simulate the elements of war trauma treatment in a panoramic manner, enabling the trainees to have a real sense of the battlefield in the four-dimensional space of high simulation, which has unique advantage in the field of war trauma treatment training. At present, the western developed countries represented by the the United States of America have applied virtual reality technology in the field of war trauma treatment training and achieved gratifying training results through the actual combat tests. This paper reviews the application of virtual reality technology in the field of war trauma treatment training at home and abroad, in order to provide a new idea and method for improving the level of war trauma treatment training in our army.

战创伤救治作为部队保存和提升战斗力、降低战斗减员率的重要卫勤保障内容,一直受到高度重视。现代化战争对战创伤救治训练的针对性、实用性、高效性都提出了更高的要求。随着我国国防和军队现代化的全面推进,日益增长的现代化战争卫勤保障需求同相对落后的战创伤救治训练模式的矛盾越发凸显。虚拟现实技术作为一种新型的实用技术,可以全情全景模拟战创伤救治要素,使受训者在高仿真的四维空间内产生身临其境的战场真实感,在战创伤救治训练领域具有独特的优势。目前以美国为代表的西方发达国家已将虚拟现实技术运用到战创伤救治训练领域,通过实战检验,取得了可喜的训练效果。本文对目前国内外虚拟现实技术在战创伤救治训练领域的应用进行综述,旨在为提升我军战创伤救治训练水平提供新的思路和方法。.
