Abstract

The traumas received by victims in the largest sea catastrophes and accidents, connected with case (hull) damage, overturning and flooding of courts from 1983 to 2010 are considered. It is established that principal views of damages at rescued and victims are sharp hypothermia of light and moderate severity, combined mechanic-cold and mechanic-burn-chemical traumas, drowning. The analysis of the received combined traumas reveals prevalence of heavy damages among the rescued victims in the sea catastrophes and accidents. The size and structure of sanitary losses depends on weight of accident, remoteness from coast, weather conditions, speed of flooding of a vessel, readiness of forces of rescue and the beginning of carrying out of a rescue operation, training of crew and passengers.
