La FDA (Federal Drug Administration ) de EUA aprob\u00f3 un \u201ctest r\u00e1pido de sangre\u201d para su empleo en la zona de combate. El mismo permite establecer el nivel y gravedad del trauma cerebral (TBI) \u00a0sufrido por combatientes, como consecuencia de explosiones, por estar bajo el fuego de artiller\u00eda o por accidentes graves con traumatismos de cr\u00e1neo. Entre 2000 y 2019 m\u00e1s de 400.000 soldados de ese pa\u00eds, han sufrido diversos grados de TBI, por lo que el nuevo desarrollo constituye una extraordinaria herramienta que facilita y optimiza las acciones de \u201cTriage\u201d y tratamiento posterior de los heridos.<\/p>\n

The Army recently gained approval for a rapid blood test for traumatic brain injury<\/a> that can be used on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

For at least the past decade researchers have been seeking a way to quickly detect and diagnose TBI<\/a>, according to an Army statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cA rapid test for TBI is a critical addition to our downrange capability to care for the brain health of our most important weapon system, the warfighter, and help maintain a high state of readiness across the Force,\u201d said Army Brig. Gen. Michael J. Talley, commanding general for the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command and Fort Detrick, Maryland.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared the test for use last week, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

From 2000 to 2019, more than 400,000 troops sustained a TBI from combat injuries, training accidents and sporting events, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

The test, known as the Abbott i-STAT Alinity TBI plasma assay, identifies two brain-specific protein markers that appear following a TBI incident.<\/p>\n

That gives medics, nurses and doctors clear evidence of the condition rather than relying on subjective descriptions. It also reduces the need for head scans.<\/p>\n

\u201cA blood-based biomarker laboratory assay (blood test) for TBI will greatly enhance the ability of DoD medical personnel to objectively assess service members who have suffered a suspected TBI,\u201d said Dr. Krista Caudle, product manager for USAMMDA\u2019s Warfighter Brain Health Project Management Office.<\/p>\n

By avoiding the need for unnecessary evacuations to conduct head scans, the blood test is likely to impact the efficiency of TBI management, Caudle said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, the program progressed through basic science studies at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and USAMRDC\u2019s Combat Casualty Care Research Program, then into product development and clinical trials in USAMMDA, and ultimately U.S. FDA clearance,\u201d said Caudle.<\/p>\n
