AbstractAdvances in medical technology provide the modern day field anesthetist with the extra edge to meet the challenges faced in the harsh environment of the battlefield and enhance the survivability of casualties. The tasks of triage, resuscitation, and administration of anesthesia can be facilitated with the use of new airway devices, portable ventilators, and monitoring devices. Before such equipment is used in the field, the anesthetist must carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages and must be cognizant of the limitations of individual devices in different environmental settings. These devices should ideally be portable, lightweight, rugged in construction, durable, easy to use (requiring minimal training and supervision), readily replaceable, and cost-effective.
