ADF Health: Morbidity and mortality on RAN ships Acute medical and surgical emergencies requiring prompt medical care for sailors of both sexes include appendicitis, cholecystitis, peptic ulceration and haematemesis, pneumothorax, asthma, severe sea sickness, decompression sickness, marine envenomation, fractures, and intracranial haemorrhage after head injury. The rate of acute surgical emergencies was 1 per 40 000 man sea days, and the rate of acute medical emergencies was 1 per 18 000 man sea days. The commonest option was to evacuate acute emergency patients (21/44 cases in the Deputy Fleet Medical Officer’s log) and clearly the availability of shipborne helicopters has meant that most casualties can be transferred either to a shore-based facility or to a capital ship with better medical facilities. www.defence.gov.au /DPE/DHS/infocentre/publications/journals/NoIDs/adfhealth_sep04/ADFHealth_5_2_51-58.html   (3781 words)
