| Summary |
"Dismounted Complex Blast Injury" (DCBI) is an explosion-induced battle injury sustained by a warfighter on foot patrol that produces a specific pattern of wounds. In particular, it involves traumatic amputation of at least one leg, a minimum of severe injury to another extremity, and pelvic, abdominal, or urogenital wounding. The US Army Surgeon General (SG) appointed a task force to study the causation, prevention, protection, treatment, and long-term care options of this BI pattern. This report will look at current candidates for "best practice" designation for prevention, mitigation, or treatment of dismounted complex blast injuries. It will address opportunities for intervention from the POI to long-term rehabilitation. The Task Force will address a systematic approach to this problem set from a medical perspective, using the Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and Contracting (DOTMLPF-C) approach, followed by specific recommendations for the way forward. |
