I will tell you every small unit is supposed to have a trained and certified combat lifesaver whose job is to maintain the casualty's life until the medics arrive. It is sort of an extension to the basic medical training they give you for a day or two in Basic, but you get to set your platoon members up with tourniquets and IV's and help the medics priortize the casualty and load the field ambulance. As the combat lifesaver, you are in charge of the medical bag and equipment that goes with each small unit.
Contact the Veteran's Administration Hospitals. They will be the first to treat casualties exposed to war and are the first to handle new ailments, injuries, and diseases.

The need to heal the injured has made warfare the best source of patients to test cures on, to their benefit.
Many advances were made in the field and later became SOP in hospitals, and treatment systems that were relatively new in hospitals were advanced in the hope a life may be saved.

Other than a lot of major advances in trauma surgery were developed; and still are, I'm not sure what you're looking for.
