The central highlight of the seminar was a keynote presentation by Colonel Kostiantyn Humeniuk<\/strong>, Chief Surgeon of the Armed Forces of Ukraine<\/strong>. He delivered an in-depth analysis of tourniquet syndrome<\/strong> in the context of modern high-intensity warfare. The speaker emphasized that successful life-saving intervention depends on the timely conversion of the tourniquet at the stabilization point<\/strong> and on the use of\u00a0extracorporeal detoxification<\/strong>, which enables preservation of<\/span> limbs in 32.8% of patients<\/strong> previously considered beyond recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Ihor Trutiak<\/strong> from Lviv<\/strong> presented the concept of amputation not as an endpoint, but as the first stage of rehabilitation and preparation for bionic prosthetics<\/strong>. He paid particular attention to the psychological dimension, noting that while international literature reports 13\u201320% rates of depression among amputees<\/strong>, the figures in Ukrainian wartime realities appear to be significantly higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Associate Professor Myroslav Dombrovych<\/strong> of I. Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University<\/strong> initiated an important discussion on common errors at stabilization points. He stressed that tourniquets should only be applied when direct pressure and pressure dressings have proven ineffective<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A session led by Professor Arsen Hudyma<\/strong> focused on modern methods of controlling external hemorrhage<\/strong>. Together with specialists from the university\u2019s Simulation Training Center<\/strong>, he organized a large-scale demonstration of mechanical bleeding-control devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serhii Hariian<\/strong>, Head of the Orthopedic and Trauma Department at the Ternopil Regional Hospital<\/strong>, presented clinical cases from the regional supercluster hospital, demonstrating how meticulous management of soft tissues and bone structures enabled preservation of limb function even in cases of severe osteomyelitis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Rostyslav Voloshchuk<\/strong>\u00a0of the medical service addressed the topic of humane pain management<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the conclusion of the seminar, Major Liubov Kashytska<\/strong> presented complex cases of rhabdomyolysis<\/strong> based on the experience of the Mobile Hospital of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine<\/strong>, emphasizing the critical role of intensive care in preserving internal organ function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
