pREBOA versus ER-REBOA impact on blood utilization and resuscitation requirements: A pilot analysis
Partial occlusion of the aorta is a resuscitation technique designed to maximize proximal perfusion while allowing a graduated amount of distal flow to reduce the ischemic sequelae associated with complete aortic occlusion. The pREBOA-PRO catheter affords the ability to titrate perfusion as hemodynamics allows; however, the impact of this new technology for resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) on blood use and other resuscitative requirements is currently unknown. We hypothesize that patients undergoing REBOA with the pREBOA-PRO catheter will utilize partial occlusion, when appropriate, and decrease overall resuscitative requirements when compared to patients undergoing REBOA with the ER-REBOA catheter
