Cbt Casualty Care Tech
Abstract
This project refines and assesses concepts, techniques, and materiel that improve survivability and ensure improved treatment outcomes for Warfighters wounded in combat and other military operations. Combat casualty care research addresses control of severe bleeding, resuscitation and stabilization, predictive indicators and decision support technologies for life support systems , treatment of burns, and traumatic injuries to hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, and extremities and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Clinical and rehabilitative medicine research addresses tissue repair and functional restoration including transplant technologies, for injuries to or loss of bone, muscle, skin, organ, nerve and eyes. Research involves extensive collaboration with multiple academic institutions to refine treatments for combat wounds through Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM). This project is coordinated with the Military Departments and other government organizations to avoid duplication. Research conducted in this project focuses on the following five areas: (1)Damage Control Resuscitation (2)Combat Trauma Therapies (3)Combat Critical Care Engineering (4)Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine (moves to ET4 in FY17) (5)Traumatic Brain Injury All drugs, biological products, and medical devices are refined in accordance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, which govern testing in animals to assess safety, toxicity, and effectiveness and subsequent human subject clinical trials. Promising efforts identified in this Project are further matured under Program Element (PE) 0603002A, Project 840. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology, focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work on this project is performed by United States Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR), the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), Silver Spring, MD; and the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM), at multiple institutions across the US.
