Area of Science:

Emergency Medicine
Surgical Critical Care
Trauma Surgery

Background:

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a minimally invasive technique for managing non-compressible hemorrhage.
Historically, REBOA procedures have been primarily performed by surgeons.

Observation:

This case report details the successful placement of REBOA by an emergency physician.
The procedure was performed on a critically ill mass casualty patient awaiting transfer to the operating room.

Findings:

Emergency physician-led REBOA placement is feasible and effective in stabilizing patients with non-compressible hemorrhage.
This intervention can serve as a temporizing measure until definitive surgical care is available.

Implications:

Expanding the role of emergency physicians in REBOA deployment can improve outcomes in critical care settings.
This case highlights the potential for interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance trauma care delivery.
REBOA can be a vital tool for emergency physicians in managing life-threatening hemorrhage during mass casualty events.
