Filter by:This study is Phase 3 of a three-phase DOD CDMRP funded project for the development of a multi-technology poly-anatomic noninvasive system for early detection of occult hemorrhage. Early detection of ongoing hemorrhage (OH) before onset of shock is a universally acknowledged great unmet need, and particularly important after trauma. Delays in the detection of OH are associated with a "failure to rescue" and a dramatic deterioration in prognosis once the onset of clinically frank shock has occurred. An early alert to the presence of OH with an acceptable rate of false-positives and false-negatives would save countless lives. Additionally, such technology would save significant time, money and effort by allowing medical resources to be applied more accurately - the essence of precision medicine. An automated system would monitor currently stable patients continuously, leaving clinicians free to care for patients in need of attention.
