Enroute Care Research & Development (Budgeted) (AF)
Abstract
Enroute Care Research & Development (Air Force): This project area seeks to advance aeromedical transport capabilities through the research and development of rapid, more efficient, and safer patient transport from the point of injury to definitive care and to understand the effects of altitude on seriously injured war fighters. Efforts will focus on translating technological advancements and groundbreaking clinical research into transitionable products. The sub-project areas include: Physiological Effects of Aeromedical Evacuation on patients and crew, impact of transport times on En-Route Trauma and Resuscitative Care, and En-Route Patient Safety. Because patients experience multiple handoffs between teams of caregivers during transport between austere environments and definitive care, efforts in this sub-project area examine human factors considerations in en-route patient safety in order to develop new and enhance existing methods to mitigate risk in all en-route care environments.
