  • Anestezija v Sloveniji v okviru partizanske sanitete med drugo svetovno vojno = Anasthesiology as an integral part of Slovene partisan medical services provided during the Second world war
    Manohin, Aleksander, 1946-202 ; Cibic, Ivan ; Paver-Eržen, Vesna
    Background. The aim of this work was to describe the practice of anaesthesia in partisan military hospitals in Slovenia during the Second World War. The organisation of anaesthetic services delivered ... as an integral part of partisanmedical care was unique in Europe and in the world. Healthcare givers exhibited a high level of professional knowledge as well as exceptional resourcefulness, adaptability, and willigness to cope with physical and psychological demands of their work. Conclusions. During the Second World War,a number of healthcare facilities for treatment of wounded and severly illsoldiers, run by partisan forces, were established on the territory of Slovenia. The paper deals with the first and most important, Slovene central military partisan hospital in Kočevski Rog, and the best-known, Franja and Pavla Hospitals in Primorska region (Franja was proposed for entry in UNESCOs list of World Heritage Sites). The authours used a large body of written documentation, as well as the testimony provided by the living witnesses of war events. The main characteristics of partisan fighting were constant movement of troops and absence of hinterland. Therefore, it was not possible to apply the basic principle of war medical services, i.e. evacuate wounded soldiers to the hinterland through graded units of care. No handbooks on the organization of partisan medical services were available at the time, and there were no hard and fast rules for action. Frequently, healthcare had to beprovided before any arrangements for the management of wounded soldiers had been made. The apparently unsolvable problems had to be solved on the spot.Thepaper gives information not only on anasthesia but also on general conditions characteristic of that period. It is only in the light of this dramatically different situation that the role of anaesthetic services provided during the war can be understood correctly. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)
