Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the current emergency medical services (EMS) system in Armenia, which faces challenges due to limited training and experience in disaster medicine, particularly with a recent history of concurrent crises: the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War and the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A cross-sectional survey conducted among Yerevan EMS physicians showed a 70.6% response rate, revealing that many providers had minimal experience in treating war-related injuries or mass casualties, with most being relatively new to their roles and still in residency.
- Results indicate that greater experience in battlefield medicine correlates with older age and longer service as a physician or EMS provider, highlighting the need for improved training and preparedness in Armenia
