SCI BS/CBT CAS CARE RS
Abstract
This project supports basic research to understand the fundamental mechanisms of severe trauma in order to advance treatment and surgical procedures to save lives and improve medical outcomes for the Soldier. Experimental models are developed to support in-depth trauma research studies. This project includes studies of predictive indicators and decision aids for life-support systems, studies to heal and repair burned or traumatically injured tissue, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), sight and face trauma, and transplant technology. Such efforts will minimize lost duty time from and provide military medical capabilities for far-forward medical/surgical care of injuries, as well as post-evacuation restorative and rehabilitative care. 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 (5) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Work in this project complements and is fully coordinated with PE 0602787A, Project 874. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), Silver Spring, MD; the U.S. Army Dental Trauma Research Detachment; the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR), Fort Sam Houston, TX; and the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM), Fort Detrick, MD.
