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 during combat operations, as well as treatment under austere field conditions. 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). This project is coordinated with the Military Departments and other government organizations to avoid duplication. Research conducted in this project focuses on Combat Casualty Care Research in the following four areas: (1)Damage Control Resuscitation (2)Combat Trauma Therapies (3)Combat Critical Care Engineering (4)Traumatic Brain Injury All drugs, biological products, and medical devices are refined in accordance with US 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 US Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR), Joint Base San Antonio, TX, and the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), Silver Spring, MD.
