The CONOPS for the Expeditionary Medical Support System (EMEDS) is based on practical effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. Key among the tools required by the Air Mobility Command and the Air Combat Command, which are two of the major commands that are part of the United Air Force is a multi-channel intravenous infusion pump capable of delivering fluids that meets the safe-to-fly criteria for all ...

Pain is a serious and widespread problem over the short-term for wounded military personnel in the battlefield and over the long-term for veterans. Military pain management strategies for acute and chronic pain are increasingly multimodal, combining pharm

Hazardous noise exposure is a serious problem in the military. Monitoring must not interfere with duties and match attenuation of standard hearing protection. Triton demonstrated the feasibility to develop an in-ear monitoring system of noise exposure an

While clinical audiometry is most often conducted with headphones, there are many practical cases where it is desirable to measure the free-space hearing performance of both normal-hearing listeners and listeners wearing hearing aids, hearing protection d

The Phase I and Phase II projects that are the basis for this Phase II enhancement proposal tested the feasibility of releasing opiate compounds from a topical wound dressing for burn pain relief and treatment. This project culminated with a regulatory s

This project addresses the need for a compact loudspeaker array to test spatial hearing in audiometric sound booths. Spatial hearing tests, especially tests of sound localization and spatial unmasking of speech reception, are needed both for qualifying pr

Adverse physiological events (PEs) have plagued warfighters piloting military aircraft, particularly incidents involving hypoxia and cockpit cabin decompression. Although a variety of research has been performed to try to understand the problems and root

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te

Service members are exposed to high noise environments on a daily basis. Aviation, mechanized, light and armored units are all exposed to environments well in excess of the permissible noise levels. In aviation alone, flight crews spend a majority of thei

The DoD is preparing for future Contested Degraded Operations (CDO) environments where it will not be possible to sustain the current levels of medical care across the chain of care. Enemy activity and lack of resources may limit the availability of front
