“…30 Fibrin glue may also be successfully applied in cases of gunshot wounds. 31 It was shown that heart lacerations are successfully healed when mattress sutures with felt strips are covered with fibrin glue. In such cases, the use of fibrin glue contributes to an efficient medical care applied in emergencies.…”

This review article describes the use of fibrin glue or fibrin sealants and their development over the past 5 years, with a focus on cardiac surgery. The roles of various types of sealants that are available in hemostasis control are reviewed briefly, together with the various potential risks and side effects of their use. The results of experimental work reported during the last 5 years, clinical data from the same period and the safety aspects of fibrin-based glues and sealants are summarized, showing many advantages of their clinical application over the use of synthetic glues or sealants that may be stronger in some cases, but less safe. It can be concluded that the widespread use of fibrin sealants is fully justified, as it benefits the patient as well as the surgeon through the improved control of hemostasis without increasing any adverse effects or complications during surgical procedures.

A penetrating chest trauma, a myocardial contusion or a myocardial infarction can lead to a cardiac rupture, which is linked to an extreme high death rate. Only few cases with delayed perforation of the myocardium have been reported in literature. We report about a penetrating gunshot injury, which led to a myocardial contusion with secondary delayed rupture of the left ventricle and the left inferior lobe of the lung. The leakage of the lesion in the left ventricle could be sealed sufficiently with fibrin-coated collagen fleeces after adapting stitches with Prolene 2-0. For additional stabilization of the vulnerable myocardium area, a bovine patch has been placed on the damaged ventricle. Fibrin fleeces are used successfully in cardiac surgery, as in our case, to seal the leakage of the lesion in the left ventricle. The implantation of a bovine patch in the pericardium could prevent a cardiac compartment syndrome with a fatal pericardial tamponade. To prohibit a thoracic compartment syndrome a modified Bogota bag could be sewed in for temporarily closure of the chest. In most cases penetrating cardiac injuries can be treated without heart-lung-machines. An immediate transfer to a cardio-surgical center is, due to the acute situation, not possible. If a surgeon with thoraco-surgical expertise is present a transfer is not absolutely necessary,

Military radiology, an integral part of military medicine, plays a pivotal role in medical triage, diagnosis, and treatment. Its significance lies in providing timely and accurate assessments in challenging situations.The utilization of contemporary sonographic techniques enables rapid identification of life-threatening conditions, ensuring prompt medical aid and facilitating regional anesthesia. Computed tomography emerges as a critical tool for assessing injury extent, planning surgeries, monitoring postoperative phases, and conducting retrospective evaluations, especially when anatomical dissection is complex.Battlefield radiology not only enhances the understanding of injury mechanisms and battlefield traumas but also contributes significantly to the overall improvement of diagnostic and treatment approaches. Ukrainian doctors actively engaged in diverse stages of patient care accumulate a wealth of knowledge, substantially elevating the survival rates of wounded individuals. This experience serves as the foundation for ongoing enhancements and the advancement of military radiology, even during periods of peace.
