“To afford the wounded speedy assistance”: Dominique Jean Larrey and Napoleon
No full textDominique Jean Larrey (1766-1842) has been described as the father of modern military surgery and is considered even today as the model military surgeon. He developed a plan of rapid evacuation of wounded soldiers from the battlefield during combat, using flexible medical units which he named ambulances volantes (”flying ambulances”). He won the admiration of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), who was amazed by the results of Larrey’s sanitary system. Larrey spent almost 18 years with Napoleon, accompanying him in 25 campaigns, 60 battles, and more than 400 engagements. Napoleon’s enormous military success was due not only to his strategy and skill but also to the medical services provided by Larrey. The surgeon became a master of wound management and limb amputation. In his vivid battlefield journals, Larrey documented the course of tetanus, the pathophysiology of old injury, the effective control of hemorrhage, the drainage of empyema and hemothorax, the aspiration of pericardial effusion or hemopericardium, and the packing of sucking chest wounds. Larrey established a categorical rule for the triage of war casualties, treating the wounded according to the observed gravity of their injuries and the urgency for medical care, regardless of their rank or nationality
Statue of Dominique-Jean, Baron Larrey
No full textBas-relief of Battle of Beresina (Berezina) (Russia, 1812); Pierre-Jean David was a French sculptor and medallist. He adopted the name David d'Angers to distinguish himself from the painter Jacques-Louis David (who was an early mentor but no relation). The monument honors Dominique Jean Larrey (8 July 1766 -25 July 1842) who was surgeon-in-chief of the Napoleonic armies from Italy in 1797 to Waterloo in 1815 and an important innovator in battlefield medicine. He initiated the modern method of army surgery, triage, field hospitals and the system of army ambulance corps. The statue stands in the courtyard outside the historic Val-de-Grâce military hospital (now Musée du Service de Santé des Armées). The base is decorated with four bronze bas-reliefs (each 75 cm high) of Napoleonic battles; Beresina (Berezina), the Pyramids, Somosierra and Austerlitz. The monument was paid for by public subscription. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 4/30/2014
Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey (1766–1842): innovator of the triage
No full textBackground: During times of war, it is common for some of the most valiant physicians to practice their skills at the battlefields. Only few of them, however, manage to excel. Among those physicians who seemed like the battlefield was their natural environment, was the military surgeon of the French army, Baron Dominique Jean Larrey (1766–1842). He studied medicine and served in the French Navy. Baron Larrey was one of the most significant medical innovators. Methods: International literature was digitally searched. Discussion: Larrey optimized a variety of procedures, even early neurosurgical ones. He also wrote medical treatises and most importantly invented the world famous ‘flying ambulance’. During his 53-year service in the army he became the symbol of protection of the French warrior. That is why he was widely known as the ‘protector of the soldier’. Nevertheless, his most eminent invention was the formation of the new ‘triage’ method. Due to Larrey’s priceless impact in the domain of surgical innovation, a notable NATO award was created that is named after him. Conclusion: All references presented describe clearly Baron Larrey’s contribution to medicine. His innovations in the sphere of the medical science renovated radically the medical ideas of his era. © 2023 The Royal Belgian Society for Surgery
