## What the grant funds

Anesthetics are remarkable drugs that have long-enabled surgical interventions, but their inherent lack of safety necessitates careful monitoring nearly exclusively within an operating room environment. The Anesthetics for Battlefield Care (ABC) program will test the hypothesis that therapeutic effects of anesthetics can be uncoupled/separated from deleterious effects. ABC endeavors to produce drugs for use in traumatic injury capable of safe, unmonitored anesthesia to enable earlier life-saving interventions, reduce the trauma associated with battlefield-injury, and thereby improve combat casualty outcomes.
