Some experiences in organization and establishing of the medical unit of a battalion in a brigade of the Croatian army
Sanitetsko odjeljenje (Sn.O) bataljuna u jednoj od brigada Hrvatske vojske (HV) ustrojeno je tijekom srpnja 1991. godine, postavljanjem referenta Sn.O. Osnovni zadatak bio je kontinuirano izvrÅ”avanje zbrinjavanja vojaka u postrojbi bataljuna. S tim u svezi organiziran je rad ambulante opÄe prakse, stomatoloÅ”ke i ambulante za fizikalnu terapiju. Organiziranje i rad sanitetskih ekipa koje prate vojake na položaju, kao i interventne ekipe pri ambulanti opÄe prakse. Osim izvrÅ”avanja navedenoga Sn.O. bataljuna upuÄuje ranjene vojake na postoperativnu rehabilitaciju u toplice, kako u Republiku Hrvatsku, tako i u inozemstvo. Ovo Sn.O. pokrenulo je inicijativu glede obeÅ”teÄenja ranjenih i poginulih vojaka na razini bataljuna. U ambulantama koje pokriva ovo Sn.O. (ambulanta opÄe prakse, stomatoloÅ”ka i ambulanta za fizikalnu terapiju), vodi se protokol bolesnika i kompjutorska obrada relevantnih pokazatelja zbrinutih vojaka. U Sn.O. bataljuna djeluju: referent sanitetskog odjeljenja, dva lijeÄnika, jedna interventna ekipa sa sanitetskim vozilom pri ambulanti, tri sanitetske ekipe koje prate postrojbu na položaju (ekipe saÄinjava: vozaÄ, bolniÄar, medicinski tehniÄar i sanitetsko vozilo), jedan lijeÄnik stomatolog i asistent u stomatoloÅ”koj ambulanti, jedan fizioterapeut i bolniÄar u ambulanti za fizikalnu terapiju. Ovdje je, meÄutim, važno pripomenuti da postrojba o kojoj je rijeÄ po broju vojaka dvostruko premaÅ”uje postrojbu normalnog bataljuna, pa je organizacija Sn.O. ove postrojbe neÅ”to drukÄija od uobiÄajene sheme organizacije sanitetske službe (odjeljenja) na razini bataljuna. I, konaÄno, sanitetsko odjeljenje organiziralo je rad bolniÄara i medicinskih tehniÄara od razine voda do satnije, Äime je u cijelosti zaokružena organizacija sanitetske službe ovoga bataljuna.Medical unit of a battalion in one of the brigades of the Croatian Army has been founded in July 1991 by the appointment of the medical officer. The main task was to perform continously the health care of the members of the battalion. At first, the work of a GPās surgery has been organized as well as that of a dentistās surgery and a surgery for physical therapy. The work of medical teams accompanying soldiers on their positions has also been organized as well as that of an emergency team in the GPās surgery. Besides of these tasks the medical officer of the battalion does also referrals of wounded soldiers to postoperative rehabilitation in rehabilitation institutes or spas both within the Republic of Croatia and abroad. This medical unit has also taken initiative concerning compensations to wounded soldiers or to families of dead soldiers at the level of the batt alion. In surgeries which are parts of this medical unit (GP, dentist, physical therapy) the patientsā records are kept as well as the computer analysis of all relevant data about treated soldiers. The members of the medical unit are: the medical officer, two physicians, one emergency team with an ambulance which is a part of the surgery, 3 medical teams who accompany soldiers on their positions (a team consists of a driver, an aidman and a male nurse equipped with an ambulance), a dentist, a dentistās assistant, a physiotherapist and a aidman in the surgery for physical therapy. It is, however, important to remark that the military unit in question has twice inore soldiers than a normal battalion, so that its medical unit differs to some extent from the usual organizational scheme of medical units at the level of a battalion. And finally, the medical unit has organized the activity of aidmen and male nurses at the level of platoons up to the level of companies. In this way the organization of the medical service of this battalion has been rounded off completely
