The Combat Casualty Care Research Program of the Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) provides integrated capabilities for far-forward medical care to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with major battlefield wounds and injuries. The USAMRMC is seeking information regarding resuscitation fluids for use with Traumatic Brain Injury in the presence of shock, by combat medics and medical professionals in the austere battlefield environment. Interested firms should submit a 1-3 page whitepaper (with additional sheets for diagrams as necessary) describing such fluids or products and the concept of use. Information will be reviewed pursuant to consideration for the development of a request for devices to be tested. As such, any descriptions of clinical use or test and evaluation studies will be of use. For the purposes of this request for information, we anticipate that products:

1) Will be deliverable in small volumes through the intravenous or intraosseous route, 2) Be capable of reducing intracranial pressures and improve cerebral blood flow 3) Have anti-inflammatory or tissue stabilization properties to reduce secondary brain injury 4) Can be used easily in a tactical environment with a minimum level of familiarization 5) Be of light weight; 6) Have long shelf life, low cost and low cube.
