Abstract: Abstract The objective of this paper is to model and simulate the wartime casualty surgical treatment with a discrete simulation tool (Simio) based on treatment process analysis and medical data. Firstly, the surgical treatment process is analyzed. Then, a 3D visual simulation mode is built with Simio. Seven scenarios about different casualty arrival rates are used to test the surgical capability of the field hospital of the PLA. The results show that two hundred casualties may reach the maximum throughput in the field hospital equipped with one operation table. The modeling and simulation of wartime casualty surgical treatment contributes to obtaining the system performance indicators, and simulation model developed can support medical resources estimation and allocation optimization.
