Abstract

This project supports basic research to understand the fundamental mechanisms of severe trauma to advance treatment and surgical procedures to save lives and improve medical outcomes for the Warfighter. 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 hard and soft tissues of the eye, face, mouth, and extremities, control of severe bleeding, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Such efforts will minimize lost duty time and provide military medical capabilities for far-forward medical/surgical care of injuries. Funding for Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine basic research moved to project ET6 starting in FY17. 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) TBI (5) Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine (moves to Project ET6 in FY17) Work in this project complements and is fully coordinated with program element (PE) 0602787A (Medical Technology). 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 United States Army Dental Trauma Research Detachment (USADTRD) and the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR), Joint Base San Antonio, TX.
