Summary:The 2-day event leveraged civilian and military partnerships, including representation from the Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency, Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, among others. In keeping with the vision of advancing multidisciplinary science towards the common goal of improved transfusion outcomes, zero preventable deaths from injury, and understanding best practices in resuscitation for hemorrhage, HERETIC included international experts in epidemiology, fundamental biology of TIC, advanced clinical trial design, implementation science, and bioengineering. The present issue of Trauma Surgery and Acute Care Open contains a number of papers submitted from the meeting, representative of the diversity of topics ranging from non-human primate trauma resuscitation2 to plasma exchange as a rescue therapy for TIC3 to safety of whole blood resuscitation in multiple patient groups.3–6 Additional talks focused on best practices for disaster and emergency preparation, including scale for whole blood resuscitation in trauma as well as for potential combined radiation/nuclear threats.7 8 A synopsis of HERETIC as well as a link to presentations from the meeting is available online (HERETIC | Trauma & Transfusion Medicine Research Center | University of Pittsburgh).
