HR
Hemorrhage Resuscitation (HR) integrates rapid hemorrhage control, damage‑control resuscitation (DCR), and hemostatic adjuncts to reverse hemorrhagic shock. HR spans prehospital tourniquets and topical agents, balanced transfusion (including whole blood/lyophilized plasma), tranexamic acid, and point‑of‑care coagulation testing tailored for austere or prolonged care.
Technical Challenges
Coagulopathy of trauma: early hypocoagulability, hypothermia, acidosis and dilution complicate resuscitation.
Limited blood supply and logistics: cold‑chain dependency, shelf life, and safe transfusion in far‑forward settings.
Rapid hemorrhage control in complex polytrauma and junctional injuries where tourniquets are ineffective.
Lack of robust point‑of‑care diagnostics to guide targeted hemostatic therapy in austere or prolonged‑field care.
Emerging Opportunities
Stable, easily stored blood products (e.g., lyophilized plasma, dried platelets) usable without full transfusion infrastructure.
Lightweight, broad‑spectrum topical hemostats and bioadhesives effective for junctional and noncompressible hemorrhage.
Portable viscoelastic or coagulation assays validated for field use to guide transfusion and procoagulant therapy.
Integrated protocols and training tools for prolonged field care that account for delayed evacuation and limited resources.
Current and Emerging Technologies in HR
Hemostatic dressings and bioadhesives
Advanced topical agents (chitosan, kaolin, synthetic sealants, adhesive foams) for compressible and junctional hemorrhage, optimized for field application and rapid clot formation.
Whole blood and lyophilized blood products
Low‑volume resuscitation strategies using fresh whole blood, cold‑stored or dried plasma, and stabilized platelets to extend transfusion capability without full blood bank infrastructure.
Tranexamic acid (TXA) protocols and delivery
Evidence‑based TXA dosing and novel delivery methods (auto‑injectors, prehospital kits) to reduce exsanguination when given early after injury.
Point‑of‑care coagulation testing
Portable viscoelastic platforms (TEG/ROTEM‑type devices), rapid platelet function tests and microfluidic assays to guide targeted hemostatic and transfusion therapy.
Endovascular and mechanical adjuncts
REBOA advancements, temporary intravascular shunts, and compact suction/evacuation tools that enable damage‑control procedures in far‑forward settings.
Biosensors and decision‑support
Wearable and bedside sensors for hemorrhage detection, hemodynamic monitoring, and AI‑driven decision support to prioritize interventions during mass or prolonged casualties.
Importance to Military Medicine
Combat casualty care — preventable death reduction
Rapid hemorrhage control and optimized resuscitation are the single biggest drivers of survival after battlefield trauma.
Prolonged and austere care
Technologies that enable safe resuscitation without immediate evacuation preserve life when transport is delayed.
Operational readiness and force preservation
Improved HR protocols reduce mortality and morbidity, preserving trained personnel and sustaining mission capability.
Adaptation to austere physiology
Addressing trauma‑induced coagulopathy, hypothermia, and blast‑related polytrauma requires integrated HR solutions tailored to military injury patterns.
Alignment with the MTEC Mission
Accelerates translation of military‑relevant hemorrhage and resuscitation technologies into fielded capabilities.
Fosters cross‑sector partnerships (academia, industry, clinical centers) to validate blood products, hemostats, and diagnostics.
Supports DoD priorities for readiness, force health protection, and accelerated transition from prototype to deployed solution.
Enables dual‑use innovations that benefit civilian trauma centers, disaster response, and mass‑casualty care.
Dual-Use (Military + Civilian) Applications
Military: reduce battlefield mortality via field‑ready hemostats, whole blood logistics, and DCR protocols.
Civilian: translate HR advances to prehospital EMS, trauma centers, rural hospitals, and mass‑casualty/disaster medicine.
Dual‑use logistics: durable blood products and simplified supply chains that improve readiness across health systems.
Training and decision support: simulation, telemedicine, and AI to scale expertise into distributed care settings.
