Mass Casualty Incidents

Two killed, five injured in
Wharton Co. wreck

Blast at Texas oil refinery kills 14
and injured more than 100 others.
Lack of situational information can make triage and
treatment of trauma patients problematic for civilian trauma centers.

Problem
• Current vital signs monitors in the
critical care environment suffer from
many drawbacks
– “Dumb” – do not provide actionable
information
– Big/Bulky
– Do not talk to other systems
– Have many wires
– Don’t have access to other patient
information and/or scene data
Military Relevance
•
Prevention of circulatory shock in the
battlefield requires early recognition and
interventions.
•
Treatment of the combat casualty traditionally
has relied on “snap shot” physiologic data
points to drive interventions and treatment
strategies.
•
An intuitive battlefield monitoring device;
“smart device” that is capable of supplying the
medic with constant physiologic observations
and data would enhance the medic’s ability to
assess and treat battlefield injuries.
•
Lack of situational information can make triage
and treatment of trauma patients problematic
for military trauma centers.
5
Civilian Relevance
• Treatment of the trauma
patient may be based on
incomplete pre-hospital
physiologic data.
• The lack of real-time
observable physiologic data
and patient progression
makes it difficult to
accurately predict life
saving interventions.

INDICES
WVSM Project
• Clinical Efficacy
– Determine the clinical efficacy of using the Athena
Wireless Vital Signs monitor system in a pre-hospital and
emergency room setting
• Clinical Effectiveness
– Determine if the use of this system leads to the use of
earlier life saving interventions in the emergency
department
• Usability
– Determine if this device has better usability characteristics
compared to bench mounted vital sign monitors currently
used in the pre-hospital setting by medical helicopter

Trauma Center Study Process
• CeTIR research associate
responds to the ED for inbound Code 2 or Code 3
trauma patients.
• Screen and enroll WVSM
subject and/or control
subject.
– Prospective “real time”
data collection.
• Data collection stops when
the subject discharge and/or
transfer out of the ED
