Combat Injury Mgmt
Abstract
This Project matures, demonstrates, and validates promising medical technologies and new clinical practices for control of severe bleeding, treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI), resuscitation and stabilization of trauma patients, acute treatment of extremity (arms and legs) and facial injuries, treatment of severe burn wounds, treatment of single and multiple organ failures due to trauma, and predictive indicators and decision aids for life support systems. Emphasis is placed on provision of prolonged field care when evacuation to theater hospitals is delayed. Research conducted in this Project focuses on combat casualty care in the following four areas: (1)Damage Control Resuscitation (2)Combat Trauma Therapies (3)Traumatic Brain Injury (4)Combat Critical Care Engineering All research is conducted in compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements for licensure of medical products for human use. Promising efforts identified through Applied Research conducted under PE 0602787A (Medical Advanced Technology), Project 874 (Medical Advanced Technology), are further matured under this Project. Promising results identified under this Project are further matured under PE 0603807A (Medical Systems Advanced Development), Project 836 (Field Medical Systems Advanced Development). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) science and technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. All FY20 adjustments align program resources to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by: the United States Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC), Fort Detrick, MD.
