Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable combat mortality. Despite recent advances in care, sustaining adequate tissue perfusion remains a challenge. Current practice for determining fluid status to guide battlefield resuscitation and transfusion, including clinical assessment and surrogate markers, often lag symptomatic diagnosis or misdiagnose the severity of volume derangement. Care is fu ...

Microfabricated chemical and biological sensors serve as an interface between biologic and electronic systems. Previously, through TATRC-funded research grants (W81XWH-05-2-0064, W81XWH-10-1-0358), we have investigated the behavior and detection of propofol using electrochemical (EC) methods. Using these analytical methods, we have quantified the oxidation of propofol well below therapeutic concen ...

Applications for ultrasound are expanding beyond medical imaging to include new functionality, with the potential to halt internal bleeding or provide an alternative to manual suturing. These types of functions are suited to a surgical robot, offering the potential for tele-operation or even autonomous functionality. However, the requirements for positioning an ultrasound device are different th ...
