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 being 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; studies to control severe bleeding; and studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI). Such efforts will minimize lost duty time and provide military medical capabilities for far- forward medical/surgical care of injuries. Research conducted in this project focuses on combat casualty care in the following four areas: (1)Damage Control Resuscitation (2)Combat Trauma Therapies (3)Combat Critical Care Engineering (4)TBI 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.
