multiple organ failure, mine-blast trauma, intensive care, hostilities in UkraineAbstract
The aim of the publication was to analyze publications that investigated the features of the development of multiple organ failure in patients with mine-blast trauma, to determine the most effective treatment approaches to prevent its development. To prepare the review article, a search was conducted and 43 scientific sources were processed in the PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. The analysis included works from 2007-2025 that cover the issues of development, diagnosis and prevention of multiple organ failure due to mine-blast trauma. Thus, understanding the features of injuries caused by explosions can help in the diagnosis and treatment of this potentially fatal disease. Multiple organ failure in severely injured patients due to mine-blast trauma is a complex syndrome with high mortality. Timely prevention, early diagnosis and comprehensive intensive care significantly improve the prognosis. The experience of hostilities in Ukraine confirms the effectiveness of a multi-level system of providing assistance and the need to implement modern treatment protocols taking into account the specifics of local conditions. Further research and development of a multidisciplinary approach will improve the quality and effectiveness of medical care for the seriously wounded.
