A Practical Approach to Introducing Pre-Hospital Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA), the Problems Encountered and Lessons Learned
Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is an endovascular procedure which utilises a catheter- based balloon device to achieve aortic occlusion.The aim of this resuscitative measure is to improve blood pressure proximal to the occlusion site and therefore preserve cardiac and cerebral perfusion to prevent cardiac arrest.I
