abstract="The fields of emergency medicine and resuscitation are indebted to the Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey (1766-1842) for significant advances in patient care. Larrey was a great surgeon who served in the French army during Napoleon's rule. He developed one of the first ambulance services, utilized positive pressure ventilation, and introduced hypothermia as a form of therapy. He dedicated his professional life to improving the care of wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Larrey coined the term &quot;Triage&quot; to allocate resources to those most in need of emergent care. Today, many of his techniques still prevail in modern medicine.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
