Medical equipment trends during the UK military exercise SAIF SAREEA 3 in Oman.

The study showed that the 300 module accommodates 95% of Role 1 patients' needs but highlights the requirement for dedicated equipment for the treatment of heat casualties if deemed likely and blunt fill/filter needles for the administration of parenteral medication. Commanders must perform a thorough medical estimate and risk assessment prior to deployment to ensure that the 300 medical module is likely to provide the necessary equipment and supplement the module if required.
