WOUND - Dehiscence

A surgical wound at the knee joint with separated edges, weeping fluid, and visible inflammation. This effect communicates acute post-operative or trauma-induced failure - responders must recognise the immediate risk of infection and fluid loss, making it essential for training teams to prioritise wound management and rapid evacuation in high-pressure environments.

• Urban mass-casualty exercise: a wound-care team must rapidly assess and package a post-operative patient with sudden dehiscence during transport, deciding whether to attempt field closure or proceed directly to theatre.
• Tactical combat casualty care scenario: a soldier sustains a knee wound during movement; the training objective is for medics to recognise infection risk, manage bleeding under load, and communicate evacuation priority under time pressure.
