PROGRESS OF RESUSCITATIVE ENDOVASCULAR BALLOON OCCLUSION OF THE AORTA IN PREHOSPITAL EMERGENCY TREATMENT FOR PELVIC...

Area of Science:

• Trauma Surgery
• Emergency Medicine
• Vascular Interventions

Background:

• Pelvic fractures are severe injuries frequently causing massive, life-threatening hemorrhage.
• Effective hemorrhage control in prehospital settings is crucial for improving survival rates in trauma patients.

Purpose of the Study:

• To provide an overview of managing noncompressive trunk hemorrhage from pelvic fractures.
• To introduce the principles, developments, and prehospital applications of Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA).

Main Methods:

• Review of REBOA technique for aortic occlusion.
• Discussion of prehospital emergency care protocols.
• Analysis of operational details and complication management strategies.

Main Results:

• REBOA is a promising technique for controlling active bleeding in pelvic fractures.
• The paper outlines the technical aspects and clinical utility of REBOA in prehospital settings.
• Strategies for managing potential complications associated with REBOA are discussed.

Conclusions:

• REBOA presents a valuable approach for managing uncontrollable hemorrhage from pelvic fractures in prehospital emergencies.
• This paper provides a framework for future utilization of REBOA in critical trauma care.
• Effective prehospital management of traumatic bleeding is essential for patient survival.
