Shock Trauma Research

1 recipient will receive $2,012,000. This is a first-time earmark.

Year Enacted: 2005

Description: The goal of this research program will be to develop new treatments for hemorrhagic shock which can be administered before or during initial resuscitation by combat medics on the battlefield or in medical facilities. This research is based on the hypothesis that it is possible to therapeutically modulate the post-resuscitation inflammatory reaction to shock and resuscitation. These treatments are intended to be applied by front-line responders on the battlefield (and first responders in civilian life) as well as by fixed facilities.
