Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The emergence of more complex Prolonged Field Care in austere settings and the need to assist inexperienced providers' ability to treat patients create an urgent need for effective tools to support care. We report on a project to develop a phone-/tablet-based decision support system for prehospital tactical combat casualty care that collects physiologic and other clinical data and uses machine learning to detect and differentiate shock manifestation.
