Toward Smart, Automated Junctional Tourniquets—AI Models to Interpret Vessel Occlusion at Physiological Pressure Points Open
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death in both civilian and military medicine. Junctional hemorrhages are especially difficult to manage since traditional tourniquet placement is often not possible. Ultrasound can be used to …
Adaptive closed‐loop resuscitation controllers for hemorrhagic shock resuscitation Open
Background After hemorrhage control, fluid resuscitation is the most important intervention for hemorrhage. Even skilled providers can find resuscitation challenging to manage, especially when multiple patients require care. In the future,…
Adopting a culture of remote damage control resuscitation in the military: Insights from the Israel defense forces decade of experience Open
Background Remote damage control resuscitation (RDCR) aims to apply the principles of damage control resuscitation to prehospital and austere care, emphasizing early control of compressible hemorrhage, balanced volume resuscitation, and th…
Dual Input Fuzzy Logic Controllers for Closed Loop Hemorrhagic Shock Resuscitation Open
Hemorrhage remains a leading cause of preventable death in emergency situations, including combat casualty care. This is partially due to the high cognitive burden that constantly adjusting fluid resuscitation rates can require, especially…
Evaluation of an Object Detection Algorithm for Shrapnel and Development of a Triage Tool to Determine Injury Severity Open
Emergency medicine in austere environments rely on ultrasound imaging as an essential diagnostic tool. Without extensive training, identifying abnormalities such as shrapnel embedded in tissue, is challenging. Medical professionals with ap…
Training Ultrasound Image Classification Deep-Learning Algorithms for Pneumothorax Detection Using a Synthetic Tissue Phantom Apparatus Open
Ultrasound (US) imaging is a critical tool in emergency and military medicine because of its portability and immediate nature. However, proper image interpretation requires skill, limiting its utility in remote applications for conditions …
Hardware-in-Loop Comparison of Physiological Closed-Loop Controllers for the Autonomous Management of Hypotension Open
Trauma and hemorrhage are leading causes of death and disability worldwide in both civilian and military contexts. The delivery of life-saving goal-directed fluid resuscitation can be difficult to provide in resource-constrained settings, …
An Automated Hardware-in-Loop Testbed for Evaluating Hemorrhagic Shock Resuscitation Controllers Open
Hemorrhage remains a leading cause of death, with early goal-directed fluid resuscitation being a pillar of mortality prevention. While closed-loop resuscitation can potentially benefit this effort, development of these systems is resource…
Development and Characterization of an Ex Vivo Testing Platform for Evaluating Automated Central Vascular Access Device Performance Open
Access to the central vasculature is critical for hemodynamic monitoring and for delivery of life-saving therapeutics during emergency medicine and battlefield trauma situations but requires skill often unavailable in austere environments.…
Closed-Loop Controlled Fluid Administration Systems: A Comprehensive Scoping Review Open
Physiological Closed-Loop Controlled systems continue to take a growing part in clinical practice, offering possibilities of providing more accurate, goal-directed care while reducing clinicians’ cognitive and task load. These systems also…
Development of a Modular Tissue Phantom for Evaluating Vascular Access Devices Open
Central vascular access (CVA) may be critical for trauma care and stabilizing the casualty. However, it requires skilled personnel, often unavailable during remote medical situations and combat casualty care scenarios. Automated CVA medica…
Evaluation of a Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controller for Hemorrhage Resuscitation Using a Hardware-in-Loop Test Platform Open
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable death in trauma, which can often be avoided with proper fluid resuscitation. Fluid administration can be cognitive-demanding for medical personnel as the rates and volumes must be personalized t…
