Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a minimally-invasive procedure performed during resuscitation of critically-injured trauma patients. The technology has evolved to the resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). In the trauma setting REBOA has been applied to mitigate blood loss from penetrating abdominal trauma, blunt abdominal trauma, pelvic fractures and lower extremity amputations.
REBOA is Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta It involves placement of an endovascular balloon in the aorta to control haemorrhage and to augment afterload in traumatic arrest and haemorrhagic shock states The overall aim of this study was to explore the potential use of prehospital Z1 P-REBOA in patients with immediately life-threatening noncompressible torso hemorrhage. Our first objective was to determine whether it was feasible to deploy prehospital Z1 REBOA in critically bleeding trauma patients. Purpose This CPG reviews the range of accepted management approaches for Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) as a hemorrhage control adjunct in traumatic shock and post-traumatic cardiac arrest in combat casualties.
