| Description:: | A. Research Areas of Interest SOF medical personnel place a premium on medical equipment that is small, lightweight, ruggedized, and designed for operation in extreme environments. The equipment must be easy to use, require minimum maintenance, and have low power consumption. Drugs and biologics should not require refrigeration or other special handling. All materiel and related techniques must be simple and effective. Research projects may apply existing scientific and technical knowledge for which concept and/or patient care efficacy have already been demonstrated to meet SOF requirements. 1. Damage Control Resuscitation SOF medical personnel require capabilities for far-forward medical care to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with major battlefield wounds and injuries. The primary emphasis is to research, apply and/or develop medical techniques and materiel (medical devices, drugs, and biologics) for early intervention in life-threatening battle injuries when MEDEVAC is not possible. The four project areas under Damage Control Resuscitation to which SOF will give highest consideration are: a. Global Treatment Strategies. The proposed project must research, apply and/or develop effective treatment strategies that address the following elements: hypotensive resuscitation, optimal fluid(s), uncomplicated shock, non-compressible hemorrhaging and traumatic brain injuries. These strategies must be optimized for patients in austere, far-forward areas who must be treated for extended periods (days, not hours). b. Vital Signs Monitoring. The proposed project must research, apply and/or develop novel concepts for miniaturized and ruggedized vital signs monitors (temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, capnography, and pulse oximetry) that capture data for later retrieval. Concepts should include an open architecture to allow for easier integration with other systems and applications. c. Analgesia. The proposed project must research, apply and/or develop novel analgesia that provide broad toxicity spectrum, easy administration in the field, tolerance of extreme environments, and effectiveness at the point of injury for a prolonged period of field care (days, not hours) and does not sensitize the patient to topical analgesia. Maximum analgesia with minimal sedation is preferred. d. Far Forward Blood. The proposed project must research novel strategies to increase the ease, efficacy, and safety of blood transfusion (i.e. person to person, pre-hospital blood banking) forward of normal logistics support; e.g., evaluating blood for type/cross matching and for the presence of pathogens. SOF personnel rely on the capabilities of their canines. The primary emphasis of this research area is to explore alternatives and/or new approaches to sustain and enhance SOF canine performance in combat. SOF medical personnel place a premium on canine-specific approaches that are effective in extreme environments and do not require significant logistical support (i.e. maximize use of current SOF medic materiel). The six project areas under Canine Medicine to which SOF will give highest consideration are: a. Environmental Extremes. Research to develop novel approaches/treatment concepts for SOF canines that address optimal acclimatization strategies, saltwater toxicity, and/or exposure to hot and cold extremes. Proposals may address pharmaceutical interventions and alternative treatments for High Altitude Pulmonary Edema/High Altitude Cerebral Edema. |
