The mission and overarching aims of the Battlefield Shock and Organ Support (BSOS) Research Program are to test, evaluate, develop and deliver new innovative solutions that will increase the survivability of, and recovery from combat wounding during the immediate and early phases after injury (i.e. Golden Hour and prolonged field care). The BSOS team work towards a vision of preventing death due to non-compressible torso hemorrhage, developing new strategies to stage and definitively treat large-vessel vascular injury and shock, and prevent and mitigate the effects of ischemia reperfusion and organ failure (i.e. the effects of shock).
This is done by collaborating with industry specialists and by exploring four (4) strategic Lines of Effort:
