Overview

  • Hemorrhage is a leading cause of trauma-related mortality[1]
  • REBOA has been proposed as a less invasive alternative to resuscitative thoracotomy
  • Research is ongoing, but has yet to demonstrate a mortality benefit[2]

REBOA Zones

  • Zone 1: From left subclavian artery to the celiac trunk
  • Zone 2: From the celiac trunk to the lowest renal artery
  • Zone 3: From lowest renal artery to the aortic bifurcation

Indications

  • Non-compressible truncal hemorrhage
  • Traumatic cardiac arrest
