There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"Accurate Decision Support for Patients with Hemorrhage: It’s NOT About Monitoring – It’s About Physiology!"
Victor Convertino, PhD
Sr. Research Physiologist
Task Area Manager
Tactical Combat Casualty Care Research (TCCCR)
US Army Institute for Surgical Research
Victor Convertino is a contributor to many areas of research including: regulation of plasma volume during acute and chronic exercise; interrelationship of plasma volume and electrolytes with adaptation to microgravity and thermoregulation during heat and exercise exposures; effect of acute and chronic exercise on blood pressure regulation and orthostatic competence; development of exercise training and countermeasures for astronauts and crew members of high-performance aircraft; and physiological adaptation to varying gravity environments. Perhaps his most important work is his current research designed to develop decision-support algorithms, therapeutic devices, and new Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) doctrine to advance the capabilities of combat medics to save lives of battlefield casualties.
