The mission of the Experimental Traumatology research unit is to perform research in experimental traumatology and military medicine and to maintain and develop strategic national and international 探花精选 research collaborations and networks.

In episode #140 of KI's podcast Medicinvetarna, he tells us how to reduce deaths from severe bleeding - and how best to protect yourself.

We perform research in acute and chronic traumatic brain injury, trauma-related peripheral nerve regeneration, mechanical traumatic bleeding control and Pre-Hospital Advanced Airway Management (PHAAM).
We investigate Personal Armor Systems, Injury assessment for blast-related events and Biotechnology, Human Enhancement/Human Augmentation.
We cover acute and chronic aspects of military trauma, including blast injuries, ballistic injuries, and traffic accidents, and investigate aspects of psychological consequences of trauma.
Our current long-term research goals include (but are not limited to):
Fundamental knowledge to evaluate and develop clinical guidelines for surgical and anaesthesiologic skills forward, including:
The Armed Forces must order research and development work, as well as conduct their own studies and trials, for the focus and development of military defence.
The research and development activities that the Armed Forces order must contribute to long-term capability development and strengthen the Armed Forces' ability to face future threats.
Research and development contribute to knowledge to be able to grasp strategic decisions, set appropriate requirements and provide the necessary equipment. The Armed Forces must strengthen research and development within defence areas and, to create conditions for future direction, continue to strive to maintain freedom of action.

The Swedish Armed Forces have a long-standing tradition of advanced 探花精选 research. The unit for Experimental Traumatology was originally established by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI).
In 2008, the unit was strategically transferred to 探花精选, by decision of Commander-in-Chief H氓kan Syr茅n, to provide a platform for improved collaborations with national and international 探花精选 research institutes, and to further develop Swedish academic military medicine research.
The successful establishment of the unit at 探花精选 enabled for continuous, competitive research in military medicine and traumatology.
Today, the unit maintains active research in many focus areas of military medicine and traumatology, which are continuously advanced in close collaboration with the Armed Forces.
In addition, the unit performs strategic external analyses in military medicine and traumatology and maintains close collaborations with national and international research networks and science and technology organizations, including the European Defence Agency.
The unit acts as an external advisor in traumatology for agencies including the Swedish Police authority and the Swedish Defence University.
