Abstract
Mass events are incidents involving a large number of casualties. They are an integral part of combat operations. These events are characterized by exceeding the capabilities of the rescuers present at the scene during a specific phase of the operation. The difference in triage applied in combat compared to triage used in civilian mass events is directly related to their specific nature and intended objectives. The article presents an innovative segregation algorithm that takes into account the value of the so-called "survival function," which is a component of a medical evacuation decision support system based on the integration of monitoring and analysis of soldier's vital parameters with the medical security system.
