On July 5, the War Museum hosted a lecture and training session on tactical medicine, entitled “Pulse of War,” organized together with the 1st Separate Assault Regiment Hub.
The museum tour guide, Ihor Buchma, presented visitors with life-saving devices used during World War II. Participants learned about the advancements in military medicine and how techniques for treating wounded soldiers on the battlefield evolved. This provided them with a deeper understanding of the high cost associated with modern medical knowledge.
The second part of the event focused on practical training. Tetiana, a soldier from the 1st Separate Assault Regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, led a session on the use of tourniquets. Participants not only listened to her instructions but also practiced applying tourniquets on themselves. Under Tetiana’s guidance, the attendees learned about common mistakes to avoid and practiced the proper steps to take in the event of critical bleeding.
“Pulse of War” is an event that exemplifies how a museum can not only preserve memory but also apply knowledge in contemporary settings.
The War Museum appreciates everyone who participated in the event! We believe that a museum is not only a place to preserve history but also a space to acquire essential skills.
