Far Forward Life Support System.

Abstract

The objective of this cooperative agreement was to develop the concept and a specification for a Far Forward Life Support System (FFLSS) that enables medic/corpsman first responders to provide on-scene critical life-saving support during the crucial minutes after a combat casualty and during evacuation. The FFLSS is a patient ventilator integrated with state-of-the-art commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) physiologic sensors and a digitally-controlled feedback system for automated monitoring and regulation.
