GSACEP Lecture Series: The Damage Control Resuscitation Team Concept

Dr. Dan Brillhart and Army Nurse Erick Thronson discuss our experiences integrating a 2 person Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR) Team into the manuever element Special Operations Forces (SOF) in austere environments in Africa. This DCR Team moved with the lead ground element on operations lasting from several hours to several weeks and provided advanced resuscitative care as the initial treatment to dozens of casualties at point of injury.
