    La analgesia siempre se ha considerado uno de los pilares fundamentales de la asistencia médica a la baja de combate. Esta opinión sigue vigente en los actuales conflictos de Irak y Afganistán. La sanidad militar española lleva desplegada en el Hospital Militar de Herat (Afganistán) desde 2005. En este centro se han atendido a casi 30.000 pacientes (algunos de ellos bajas en combate), obteniéndose una importante experiencia en el tratamiento de este tipo de politraumatismo. Se expone el caso de un militar, que tras sufrir un atentado con herida de arma de fuego y explosivos, sufre traumatismo craneoencefálico, lesión ocular, traumatismo abdominal y en una extremidad. Se exponen las medidas de control del dolor perioperatorias prestadas a este herido.
