Civil War Medicine

Disease: The Number One Cause of Death Most men did not die on the battlefield, but in a bed due to disease. Union Battle Deaths/Wounds – 110,070 Disease – c. 250,000 Confederacy Battle Deaths/Wounds – 94,000 Disease – 164,000

Medical Supplies When supplies were brought to the warfront, ammunition was sent first, then rations, and then medical supplies. Medical equipment was bulky and hard to move, so they were often inaccessible. Surgical instruments were used on soldier after soldier without much more than a cleaning with water.

Surgery/Treatment Anesthesia was new and so several hundred surgeries were performed with no anesthesia. People often did not wash their hands before treating a wound. At this time people did not know about the transmission of bacteria. Men would put dirty rags over their wounds

In order to stop hemorrhaging doctors would pack the wound with powerful astringent or chemicals often causing more harm. It was expected that wounds would fester and there was no relief, no pain killers or antibiotics.

Nurses At the outbreak of the war, the armies nurses consisted of barely trained men. Approximately 2000 women in the North and South volunteered as nurses. This was a dangerous job, but many wanted to be at the frontlines. Clara Barton Dorthea Dix

The Sanitary Commission Private relief organization created in 1861 Believed that the government did a poor job of taking care of the health, comfort, and welfare of the soldiers, so they volunteered to help. Inspected cooking, clothing, and sanitation of Union soldier encampments.

Journal Predict what it might be like to be a wounded soldier during the Civil War. Describe the day. Include the following: How did you get hurt? What was the surgery like? What are the conditions like? Who did you meet? How do you feel? Are you scared of anything?
