Abstract：Objective To improve the Chinese overseas peacekeeping troops in the treatment level of neuro-trauma. Methods The data of 168 wounded non-effectives with neuro-trauma rescued and transported by Chinese peacekeeping level 2 hospitals from April 2014 to March 2017 were collected and analyzed. The key information including the wounded non-effectives' identity, trauma diagnosis, therapeutic methods, and degree of disability were extracted from the collected data and analyzed. Results The Improvised explosive devices (IED) including car bombs and roadside mines, were the main cause of neuro-trauma in the wounded non-effectives. The injured parts included brain, spinal cord, nerves of the arms and legs, and cranial nerves. The rescuing and therapeutic methods included the basic neurosurgeries in level 2 hospital and aero-medical evacuations to upper medical institutions. The conditions of the neuro-trauma wounded non-effectives rescued and transported by Chinese peacekeeping level 2 hospital in Malian war area were serious and the mortality and rate of severe disability was high. Conclusions The characters of the neuro-trauma cases rescued and transported by Chinese peacekeeping level 2 hospitals in West African Malian war area were obviously different from those in the domestic. To improve the success rates of rescuing and treatment of the wounded non-effectives, we should strengthen the summary and study of this field and put forward the optimizing advices.
