Contemporary Adjuncts to Hemorrhage Control
Trauma remains the most common cause of death among people 1 to 45 years of age, with hemorrhage being the most common cause of preventable death. For patients with hemorrhagic shock, expeditious control of bleeding is required to maximize chances for survival. Hemostasis requires that patients have sufficient functioning of the coagulation system, and, in most cases, expeditious interventions (open surgical or endovascular) aimed at controlling the hemorrhage.
Zone 1 Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta vs Resuscitative Thoracotomy for Patient Resuscitation After Severe Hemorrhagic Shock
[Skip to Navigation] JAMA Surg. 2023;158(2):140-150. doi:10.1001/jamasurg.2022.6393 Key Points Question Is zone 1 endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) a safe and effective alternative to resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) in the resuscitation of patients with severe traumatic hemorrhagic shock?
Zone 1 Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta vs Resuscitative Thoracotomy for Patient Resuscitation After Severe Hemorrhagic Shock
[Skip to Navigation] Figure 1. Flow Diagram for Patient Inclusion REBOA indicates resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta. Figure 2. Survival Curves for Propensity Score–Matched Patients (n = 112) Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) aortic occlusion had a significantly higher patient survival than aortic occlusion via resuscitative thoracotomy.

Use of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta for Proximal Aortic Control in Patients With Severe Hemorrhage and Arrest
Key Points Question Is resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) a feasible option for proximal aortic control? Findings This single-institution series of 90 patients describes the use of REBOA for a variety of causes, such as severe traumatic hemorrhage, traumatic arrest, or nontraumatic hemorrhage. REBOA can be safely performed by acute care surgeons with focused training.
