Cbt Casualty Care Tech

Abstract

Applied technology development of burn recovery optimization technologies: applied technologies for acute burn treatment that remove dead tissue, prevent infection, and protect the wound from further damage until definitive burn care is available; diagnostic technologies to predict skin graft success or failure, identify patients at heightened risk for scarring, and monitor effectiveness of treatment. 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) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) (5) Prolonged Field Care 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 PE 0603002A (Medical Advanced Technology) / Project 840 (Combat Injury Mgmt). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) Science and Technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the US Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC), Fort Detrick, MD.
