Overview of the Hemostasis Research Program: Advances and Future Directions

Abstract

The mission of the Combat Casualty Care Research Program of the US Army Medical Research and Material Command is to reduce the morbidity and mortality resulting from injuries on the battlefield through the development of new life-saving strategies, surgical techniques, biological and mechanical products, and the timely use of telemedicine technologies. One of the major areas of focus of the Combat Casualty Care Program is hemorrhage control. This article provides an overview of the Hemostasis Research Program and its accomplishments to date, and makes suggestions for areas of basic research in the future. The Hemostasis Research Program is based at the US Army Institute of Surgical Research (ISR) and includes collaborations with extramural research laboratories.
