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 basic research studies of new concepts for control of severe bleeding, studies of predictive indicators and decision aids for life-support systems; studies to identify potential new therapeutics to heal and repair burned or traumatically injured hard and soft tissues of the eye, face, mouth, and extremities; and studies to elucidate the physiological basis of combat-related 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 five areas: (1)Damage Control Resuscitation (2)Combat Trauma Therapies (3)Combat Critical Care Engineering (4)Traumatic Brain Injury (5)Prolonged Field Care Work in this Project complements and is fully coordinated with PE 0602787A (Medical Technology). Funding has been realigned to reflect the FY 2020 financial restructure and Army Modernization Priorities. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) science and technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy.
