Background Hemorrhage is the leading cause of death in trauma patients with most fatalities occurring before reaching a higher level of care—this applies to both the civilian setting and the military combat setting. Hemostatic resuscitation with increased emphasis on blood transfusion while limiting use of crystalloids has become routine in trauma care. However, the prehospital setting—especially in combat—presents unique challenges with regard to storage, transport, and administration. We sought to evaluate available technology on the market for storage and administration technology that is relevant to the prehospital setting. Study design and methods We conducted a market review of available technology through subject–matter expert inquiry, reviews of published literature, reviews of Federal Drug Administration databases, internal military publications, and searches of Google. Results We reviewed and described a total of 103 blood transporters, 22 infusers, and 6 warmers. Conclusions The risk of on‐scene fatality in trauma patients and recent developments in trauma care demonstrate the need for prehospital transfusion. These transfusions have been logistically prohibited in many operations. We have reviewed the current commercially available equipment and recommended pursuit of equipment that improves accessibility to field transfusion. Current technology has limited applicability for the prehospital setting and is further limited for the military setting.

“…Uncontrolled hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death in trauma, 44 and timely transfusion of blood has been shown to improve survival. 45,46 The timely use of blood products (eg, packed red blood cells [PRBCs], plasma, platelets) and whole blood has been shown to decrease mortality in trauma patients. 12 Studies have demonstrated the feasibility of rapid and reliable dronetransport of blood products while maintaining appropriate storage temperature without significant impact on the accuracy of routine chemistry, hematology and coagulation analysis.…”

“…UAVs are transformative weapons because they can minimize the risk of human operators, not disposable, and have the flexibility to reach the remote target (Davis et al, 2012;Gilmore et al, 2019). UAV technology in the military sector is strongly supported by the development of communication and navigation technology.…”

Abstrak Latar belakang artikel ini adalah ekspansi China di Laut China Selatan serta pengaktifan kembali Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QSD). QSD adalah pertemuan non-formal yang beranggotakan United States, Australia, India, dan Japan. Artikel ini berusaha untuk menjawab ‘Apa keunggulan yang dimiliki oleh QSD pasca pengaktifan kembali mereka untuk menghadapi kehadiran China di Laut China Selatan?’. Teori utama yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah Balance of Threat dari Stephen Walt. Hasil dari artikel ini memperlihatkan keunggulan yang dimiliki oleh QSD adalah lokasi geografis, sebagian besar sumber daya dan persenjataan, serta program latihan perang bersama dan modernisasi persenjataan. Keunggulan tersebut dapat digunakan QSD untuk menghadapi niat mengancam dari China dengan kehadiran mereka di Laut China Selatan.Abstract The background of this article is the expansion of China in the South China Sea and the reactivation of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QSD). QSD is an informal meeting with members from the United States, Australia, India, and Japan. This article seeks to answer 'What advantages does QSD have after their reactivation to face China's presence in the South China Sea?'. The main theory used in this article is the Balance of Threat from Stephen Walt. The results of this article show the advantages possessed by QSD is the geographical location, the majority of resources and weapons, as well as joint war training and weapon modernization programs. These advantages can be used by QSD to face the threatening intentions of China with its presence in the South China Sea.
