BMC Emerg Med 2024; 24:104. [PMID: 38910235 PMCID: PMC11194952 DOI: 10.1186/s12873-024-01020-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to evaluate the mortality of patients who received Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of The Aorta (REBOA) in severe pelvic fracture with hemorrhagic shock. METHODS The American College of Surgeon Trauma Quality Improvement Program (ACS-TQIP) database for the calendar years 2017-2019 was accessed for the study. The study included all patients aged 15 years and older who sustained severe pelvic fractures, defined as an injury with an abbreviated injury scale (AIS) score of ≥ 3, and who presented with the lowest systolic blood pressure (SBP) of < 90 mmHg. Patients with severe brain injury were excluded from the study. Propensity score matching was used to compare the patients who received REBOA with similar characteristics to patients who did not receive REBOA. RESULTS Out of 3,186 patients who qualified for the study, 35(1.1%) patients received REBOA for an ongoing hemorrhagic shock with severe pelvic fracture. The propensity matching created 35 pairs of patients. The pair-matched analysis showed no significant differences between the group who received REBOA and the group that did not receive REBOA regarding patients' demography, injury severity, severity of pelvic fractures, lowest blood pressure at initial assessment and laparotomies. There was no significant difference found between REBOA versus no REBOA group in overall in-hospital mortality (34.3% vs. 28.6, P = 0.789). CONCLUSION Our study did not identify any mortality advantage in patients who received REBOA in hemorrhagic shock associated with severe pelvic fracture compared to a similar cohort of patients who did not receive REBOA. A larger sample size prospective study is needed to validate our results. CASE-CONTROL RETROSPECTIVE STUDY Level of Evidence IV.

Preperitoneal pelvic balloon tamponade-an effective intervention to control pelvic injury hemorrhage in a swine model. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1340765. [PMID: 38737537 PMCID: PMC11082274 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1340765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to estimate the effects of the volume of preperitoneal balloon (PPB) on arterial and venous hemorrhage in a swine pelvic fracture model. Methods: Twenty-four swine were randomized into 0-mL, 500-mL, 800-mL, and 1000-mL intra-hematoma PPB groups. They were subjected to open-book pelvic fracture and reproducible injuries in the external iliac artery and vein. The pelvic binder and IH-PPBs with different volumes of fluid were applied to control the active hemorrhage after arterial and venous injuries. The survival time and rate during 60-min observation and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images were the primary endpoints in this study. Secondary endpoints included survival rate within 70 min, peritoneal pressure, hemodynamics, blood loss, infusion fluid, blood pH, and lactate concentration. Results: Our results indicated that the 800-mL and 1000-mL groups had a higher survival rate (0%, 50%, 100% and 100% for 0, 500, 800, and 1000-mL groups respectively; p < 0.0001) and longer survival time (13.83 ± 2.64, 24.50 ± 6.29, 55.00 ± 6.33, and 60.00 ± 0.00 min for 0, 500, 800, and 1,000 groups respectively; p < 0.0005) than the 0-mL or 500-mL groups during the 60 min observation. Contrastingly, survival rate and time were comparable between 800-mL and 1000-mL groups during the 60-min observation. The IH-PPB volume was associated with an increase in the pressure of the balloon and the preperitoneal pressure but had no effect on the bladder pressure. Lastly, the 1000-mL group had a higher mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance than the 800-mL group. Conclusion: IH-PPB volume-dependently controls vascular bleeding after pelvic fracture in the swine model. IH-PPB with a volume of 800 mL and 1000 mL efficiently managed pelvic fracture-associated arterial and venous hemorrhage and enhanced survival time and rate in the swine model without evidences of visceral injury.

Abstract
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been utilized by trauma surgeons at the bedside for over a decade in both civilian and military settings. Both translational and clinical research suggest it is superior to resuscitative thoracotomy for specific patient populations. Technological advancements in recent years have significantly enhanced the safety profile of REBOA. Resuscitative balloon occlusion of the aorta has also swiftly found implementation in patients in shock from non-traumatic hemorrhage.

Complications associated with the use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA): an updated review. Trauma Surg Acute Care Open 2024; 9:e001267. [PMID: 38347890 PMCID: PMC10860083 DOI: 10.1136/tsaco-2023-001267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has become part of the arsenal to temporize patients in shock from severe hemorrhage. REBOA is used in trauma to prevent cardiovascular collapse by preserving heart and brain perfusion and minimizing distal hemorrhage until definitive hemorrhage control can be achieved. Significant side effects, including death, ischemia and reperfusion injuries, severe renal and lung damage, limb ischemia and amputations have all been reported. The aim of this article is to provide an update on complications related to REBOA. REBOA has emerged as a critical intervention for managing severe hemorrhagic shock, aiming to temporize patients and prevent cardiovascular collapse until definitive hemorrhage control can be achieved. However, this life-saving procedure is not without its challenges, with significant reported side effects. This review provides an updated overview of complications associated with REBOA. The most prevalent procedure-related complication is distal embolization and lower limb ischemia, with an incidence of 16% (range: 4-52.6%). Vascular and access site complications are also noteworthy, documented in studies with incidence rates varying from 1.2% to 11.1%. Conversely, bleeding-related complications exhibit lower documentation, with incidence rates ranging from 1.4% to 28.6%. Pseudoaneurysms are less likely, with rates ranging from 2% to 14%. A notable incidence of complications arises from lower limb compartment syndrome and lower limb amputation associated with the REBOA procedure. Systemic complications include acute kidney failure, consistently reported across various studies, with incidence rates ranging from 5.6% to 46%, representing one of the most frequently documented systemic complications. Infection and sepsis are also described, with rates ranging from 2% to 36%. Pulmonary-related complications, including acute respiratory distress syndrome and multisystem organ failure, occur in this population at rates ranging from 7.1% to 17.5%. This comprehensive overview underscores the diverse spectrum of complications associated with REBOA.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recently, trauma centers in the Republic of Korea introduced resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) for application in severe pelvic fracture cases. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of REBOA and its associated factors in enhancing survival. METHODS Data from patients with severe pelvic injuries at two regional trauma centers from 2016 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were dichotomized into REBOA and no-REBOA groups, and patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared using 1:1 propensity score matching. Additional survival-based analysis was performed in the REBOA group. RESULTS REBOA was performed in 42 of the 174 patients with pelvic fractures. As patients in the REBOA group had more severe injuries than did patients in the no-REBOA group, 1:1 propensity score matching was performed to adjust for severity. After matching, 24 patients were included in each group and mortality was not significantly different (REBOA 62.5% vs. no-REBOA 41.7%, P = 0.149). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed no significant differences in mortality between the two matched groups (log-rank test, P = 0.408). Among the 42 patients treated with REBOA, 14 survived. Shorter REBOA duration (63 [40-93] vs. 166 [67-193] min, P = 0.015) and higher systolic blood pressure before REBOA (65 [58-76] vs. 54 [49-69] mmHg, P = 0.035) were associated with better survival. CONCLUSIONS The effectiveness of REBOA has not been definitively established; however, it was not associated with increased mortality in this study. Additional studies are required to better understand how REBOA can be effectively used for treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High energy pelvic ring injuries are associated with significant morbidity and mortality and can be accompanied by haemorrhagic shock following associated vascular injury. This study evaluated the causes and predictors of mortality in haemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures. METHODS This retrospective observational study at a Major Trauma Centre reviewed 938 consecutive adult patients (≥ 18yrs) with pelvic ring injuries between December 2014 and November 2018. Patients with features of haemorrhagic shock were included, defined as: arrival Systolic BP < 90 mmHg, Base Deficit ≥ 6.0 mmol/l, or transfusion of ≥ 4 units of packed red blood cells within 24 h. RESULTS Of the 102 patients included, all sustained injuries from high energy trauma, and 47.1% underwent a haemorrhage control intervention (Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta-REBOA, Interventional Radiology-IR, or Laparotomy). These were more often required following vertical shear injuries (OR 10.7, p = 0.036). Overall, 33 patients (32.4%) died; 16 due to a head injury, and only 2 directly from acute pelvic exsanguination (6.1%). Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that increasing age, Injury Severity Score, Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) Head ≥ 3 and open pelvic fracture were all independent predictors of mortality, and IR was associated with reduced mortality. Lateral Compression III (LC3) injuries were associated with mortality due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). CONCLUSION Haemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic ring injuries have a high mortality rate, but death is usually attributed to other injuries or later complications, and not from acute exsanguination. This reflects improvements in resuscitative care, transfusion protocols, and haemorrhage control techniques.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: This study evaluated the feasibility of a combination of pelvic binder and rectal balloon compression in managing fatal venous hemorrhage in a canine model of pelvic fracture. Methods: Rectums from humans (rectal cancer patients), swine, and canines were retrieved to determine their elasticity by measuring their stress and strain. Canines were selected as the animal model in this study because their rectum demonstrated more reversible strain than swine rectum. Doppler ultrasound was used to assess the effect of rectal balloon volume on the blood flow of pelvic iliac blood vessels in three canines. A rectal balloon of 250 mL was chosen to control pelvic venous bleeding as it could provide a peak effect in reducing the blood flow of bilateral internal iliac veins. Then, the open-book pelvic fracture with fatal bleeding of both internal iliac veins animal model was built. The animals were divided into four groups after the modeled surgery to undergo no treatment, pelvic binder, rectal balloon compression, or a combination of pelvic binder and rectal balloon compression. The treatment efficacy was evaluated based on their survival time, survival rate, blood loss, bleeding rate, infusion rate, blood pH, lactate concentration, the stability of hemodynamics, blood loss, and fluid infusion volume. Results: Our results showed that after the reproducible injuries in both internal iliac veins, the combination of pelvic binder and rectal balloon compression was associated with the best survival rate and survival time compared with the other treatment groups. In addition, the combination of pelvic binder and rectal balloon compression exhibited more stable hemodynamics than the pelvic binder or rectal balloon compression treatment alone. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the potential feasibility of using pelvic binder combined with rectal balloon compression to manage the fatal venous bleeding in pelvic fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propensity-matched methods are increasingly being applied to the American College of Surgeons TQIP database to evaluate hemorrhage control interventions. We used variation in systolic blood pressure (SBP) to demonstrate flaws in this approach. STUDY DESIGN Patients were divided into groups based on initial SBP (iSBP) and SBP at 1 hour (2017 to 2019). Groups were defined as follows: iSBP 90 mmHg or less who decompensated to 60 mmHg or less (immediate decompensation [ID]), iSBP 90 mmHg or less who remained greater than 60 mmHg (stable hypotension [SH]), and iSBP greater than 90 mmHg who decompensated to 60 mmHg or less (delayed decompensation [DD]). Individuals with Head or Spine Abbreviated Injury Scale score 3 or greater were excluded. Propensity score was assigned using demographic and clinical variables. Outcomes of interest were in-hospital mortality, emergency department death, and overall length of stay. RESULTS Propensity matching yielded 4,640 patients per group in analysis #1 (SH vs DD) and 5,250 patients per group in analysis #2 (SH vs ID). The DD and ID groups had 2-fold higher in-hospital mortality than the SH group (DD 30% vs 15%, p < 0.001; ID 41% vs 18%, p < 0.001). Emergency department death rate was 3 times higher in the DD group and 5 times higher in the ID group (p < 0.001), and length of stay was 4 days shorter in the DD group and 1 day shorter in the ID group (p < 0.001). Odds of death were 2.6 times higher for the DD vs SH group and 3.2 times higher for the ID vs SH group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Differences in mortality rate by SBP variation underscore the difficulty of identifying individuals with a similar degree of hemorrhagic shock using the American College of Surgeons TQIP database despite propensity matching. Large databases lack the detailed data needed to rigorously evaluate hemorrhage control interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe trauma represents a major global public health burden and the management of post-traumatic bleeding continues to challenge healthcare systems around the world. Post-traumatic bleeding and associated traumatic coagulopathy remain leading causes of potentially preventable multiorgan failure and death if not diagnosed and managed in an appropriate and timely manner. This sixth edition of the European guideline on the management of major bleeding and coagulopathy following traumatic injury aims to advise clinicians who care for the bleeding trauma patient during the initial diagnostic and therapeutic phases of patient management. METHODS The pan-European, multidisciplinary Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma included representatives from six European professional societies and convened to assess and update the previous version of this guideline using a structured, evidence-based consensus approach. Structured literature searches covered the period since the last edition of the guideline, but considered evidence cited previously. The format of this edition has been adjusted to reflect the trend towards concise guideline documents that cite only the highest-quality studies and most relevant literature rather than attempting to provide a comprehensive literature review to accompany each recommendation. RESULTS This guideline comprises 39 clinical practice recommendations that follow an approximate temporal path for management of the bleeding trauma patient, with recommendations grouped behind key decision points. While approximately one-third of patients who have experienced severe trauma arrive in hospital in a coagulopathic state, a systematic diagnostic and therapeutic approach has been shown to reduce the number of preventable deaths attributable to traumatic injury. CONCLUSION A multidisciplinary approach and adherence to evidence-based guidelines are pillars of best practice in the management of severely injured trauma patients. Further improvement in outcomes will be achieved by optimising and standardising trauma care in line with the available evidence across Europe and beyond.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe pelvic fracture is the most common indication for resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). This matched cohort study investigated outcomes with or without REBOA use in isolated severe pelvic fractures. METHODS Trauma Quality Improvement Program database study, included patients with isolated severe pelvic fracture (AIS≥3), excluded associated injuries with AIS >3 for any region other than lower extremity. REBOA patients were propensity score matched to similar patients without REBOA. Outcomes were mortality and complications. RESULTS 93 REBOA patients were matched with 279 without. REBOA patients had higher rates of in-hospital mortality (32.3% vs 19%, p = 0.008), higher rates of venous thromboembolism (14% vs 6.5%, p = 0.023) and DVT (11.8% vs 5.4%, p = 0.035). In multivariate analysis, REBOA use was independently associated with increased mortality and venous thromboembolism. CONCLUSIONS REBOA in severe pelvic fractures is associated with higher rates of mortality, venous thromboembolism.

[PMID: 36449300 PMCID: PMC9713682 DOI: 10.1001/jamasurg.2022.5772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Importance Management of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures remains a challenge. Hemostatic interventions are used alone or in combination. There is a paucity of data on the association between the pattern of hemorrhage control interventions and outcomes after a severe pelvic fracture. Objective To characterize clinical outcomes and study the patterns of hemorrhage control interventions in hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures. Design, Setting, and Participants In this cohort study, a retrospective review was performed of data from the 2017 American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program database, a national multi-institutional database of trauma patients in the United States. Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with pelvic fractures who received early transfusions (≥4 units of packed red blood cells in 4 hours) and underwent intervention for pelvic hemorrhage control were identified. Use and order of preperitoneal pelvic packing (PP), pelvic angioembolization (AE), and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in zone 3 were examined and compared against the primary outcome of mortality. The associations between intervention patterns and mortality, complications, and 24-hour transfusions were further examined by backward stepwise regression analyses. Data analyses were performed in September 2021. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcomes were rates of 24-hour, emergency department, and in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were major in-hospital complications. Results A total of 1396 patients were identified. Mean (SD) age was 47 (19) years, 975 (70%) were male, and the mean (SD) lowest systolic blood pressure was 71 (25) mm Hg. The median (IQR) Injury Severity Score was 24 (14-34), with a 24-hour mortality of 217 patients (15.5%), ED mortality of 10 patients (0.7%), in-hospital mortality of 501 patients (36%), and complication rate of 574 patients (41%). Pelvic AE was the most used intervention (774 [55%]), followed by preperitoneal PP (659 [47%]) and REBOA zone 3 (126 [9%]). Among the cohort, 1236 patients (89%) had 1 intervention, 157 (11%) had 2 interventions, and 3 (0.2%) had 3 interventions. On regression analyses, only pelvic AE was associated with a mortality reduction (odds ratio [OR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.82; P < .001). Preperitoneal PP was associated with increased odds of complications (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.80; P = .01). Increasing number of interventions was associated with increased 24-hour transfusions (β = +5.4; 95% CI, +3.5 to +7.5; P < .001) and mortality (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.05 to 2.37; P = .03), but not with complications. Conclusions and Relevance This study found that among patients with pelvic fracture who received early transfusions and at least 1 invasive pelvic hemorrhage control intervention, more than 1 in 3 died, despite the availability of advanced hemorrhage control interventions. Only pelvic AE was associated with a reduction in mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with traumatic pelvic ring injury may present with hypotension secondary to hemorrhage. Preperitoneal pelvic packing (PPP) and angioembolization (AE) are alternative interventions for management of hypotension associated with pelvic ring injury refractory to resuscitation and circumferential compression. We hypothesized that PPP may be independently associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared with AE in patients with hypotension and pelvic ring injury. METHODS Adult patients with pelvic ring injury and hypotension managed with PPP or AE were retrospectively identified in the Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) database from 2015 to 2019. Patients were matched on a propensity score for receiving PPP based on patient, injury, and treatment factors. The primary outcome was the risk of VTE after matching on the propensity score for treatment. The secondary outcomes included inpatient clinically important deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, respiratory failure, mortality, unplanned reoperation, sepsis, surgical site infection, hospital length of stay, and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay. RESULTS In this study, 502 patients treated with PPP and 2,439 patients treated with AE met inclusion criteria. After propensity score matching on age, smoking status, Injury Severity Score, Tile B or C pelvic ring injury, bilateral femoral fracture, serious head injury, units of plasma and platelets given within 4 hours of admission, laparotomy, and level-I trauma center facility designation, 183 patients treated with PPP and 183 patients treated with AE remained. PPP, compared with AE, was associated with a 9.8% greater absolute risk of VTE, 6.5% greater risk of clinically important deep vein thrombosis, and 4.9% greater risk of respiratory failure after propensity score matching. CONCLUSIONS PPP for the management of hypotension associated with pelvic ring injury is associated with higher rates of inpatient VTE events and sequelae compared with AE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aortic occlusion (AO) to facilitate the acute resuscitation of trauma and acute care surgery patients in shock remains a controversial topic. Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is an increasingly deployed method of AO. We hypothesized that in patients with non-compressible hemorrhage below the aortic bifurcation, the use of REBOA instead of open AO may be associated with a survival benefit. METHODS From the AAST Aortic Occlusion for Resuscitation in Trauma and Acute Care Surgery (AORTA) registry, we identified 1494 patients requiring AO from 45 Level I and 4 Level II trauma centers. Presentation, intervention, and outcome variables were analyzed to compare REBOA vs open AO in patients with non-compressible hemorrhage below the aortic bifurcation. RESULTS From December 2014 to January 2019, 217 patients with Zone 3 REBOA or Open AO who required pelvic packing, pelvic fixation or pelvic angio-embolization were identified. Of these, 109 AO patients had injuries isolated to below the aortic bifurcation (REBOA, 84; open AO, 25). Patients with intra-abdominal or thoracic sources of bleeding, above deployment Zone 3 were excluded. Overall mortality was lower in the REBOA group (35.% vs 80%, p <.001). Excluding patients who arrived with CPR in progress, the REBOA group had lower mortality (33.33% vs. 68.75%, p = 0.012). Of the survivors, systemic complications were not significantly different between groups. In the REBOA group, 16 patients had complications secondary to vascular access. Intensive care lengths of stay and ventilator days were both significantly shorter in REBOA patients who survived to discharge. CONCLUSIONS This study compared outcomes for patients with hemorrhage below the aortic bifurcation treated with REBOA to those treated with open AO. Survival was significantly higher in REBOA patients compared to open AO patients, while complications in survivors were not different. Given the higher survival in REBOA patients, we conclude that REBOA should be used for patients with hemorrhagic shock secondary to pelvic trauma instead of open AO. LEVEL III EVIDENCE Therapeutic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is increasingly used in some trauma settings. Arterial access-related limb ischemic complications (ARLICs) resulting from the femoral arterial access required for REBOA are largely under reported. We sought to describe the incidence of these complications and the clinical, technical, and device factors associated with their development. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of records of adult trauma patients from the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma Aortic Occlusion for Resuscitation in Trauma and Acute care surgery registry between October 2013 and September 2020 who had REBOA and survived at least 48 hours. The primary outcome was ARLIC, defined as clinically relevant extremity ischemia or distal embolization. Relevant factors associated with ARLIC were also analyzed. RESULTS Of 418 identified patients, 36 (8.6%) sustained at least one ARLIC; 22 with extremity ischemia, 25 with distal embolism, 11 with both. Patient demographics and injury characteristics were similar between ARLIC and no ARLIC groups. Access-related limb ischemic complication was associated with larger profile devices (p = 0.009), cutdown access technique (p = 0.02), and the presence of a pelvic external fixator/binder (p = 0.01). Patients with ARLIC had higher base deficit (p = 0.03) and lactate (p = 0.006). One hundred fifty-six patients received tranexamic acid (TXA), with 22 (14%) ARLICs. The rate of TXA use among ARLIC patients was 61% (vs. 35% TXA for non-ARLIC patients, p = 0.002). Access-related limb ischemic complication did not result in additional in-hospital mortality, however, ARLIC had prolonged hospital LOS (31 vs. 24 days, p = 0.02). Five ARLIC required surgical intervention, three patch angioplasty (and two with associated bypass), and four ARLIC limbs were amputated. CONCLUSION Femoral artery REBOA access carries a risk of ARLIC, which is associated with unstable pelvis fractures, severe shock, and strongly with the administration of TXA. Use of lower-profile devices and close surveillance for these complications is warranted in these settings and caution should be exercised when using TXA in conjunction with REBOA.

Abstract
Background Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a helpful adjunct in the control of non-compressible truncal hemorrhage. Concerns regarding ischemia time limits its applicability in transfer. We describe the first reported case of civilian transfer via aeromedical transport to a higher level of care with a zone 3 REBOA catheter deployed. Case report We present the case of a patient in hemorrhagic shock with a complex pelvic fracture exceeding the capability of a rural level-two trauma center requiring the use of REBOA catheter to permit aeromedical transport to a level-one trauma center for definitive embolization. Conclusion Deployment of REBOA catheter to facilitate aeromedical transport to an appropriate level of care may be considered if travel times can be kept brief and there is a process and training in place to empower flight medics to consider transporting with a REBOA deployed.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Major pelvic hemorrhage remains a considerable challenge of modern trauma care associated with mortality in over a third of patients. Efforts to improve outcomes demand continued research into the optimal employment of both traditional and newer hemostatic adjuncts across the full spectrum of emergent care environments. The purpose of this review is to provide a concise description of the rationale for and effective use of currently available adjuncts for the control of pelvic hemorrhage. In addition, the challenges of defining the optimal order and algorithm for employment of these adjuncts will be outlined. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Review, level IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic angioembolization (AE) is a mainstay in the treatment algorithm for pelvic hemorrhage from pelvic fractures. Nonselective AE refers to embolization of the bilateral internal iliac arteries (IIAs) proximally rather than embolization of their tributaries distally. The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of nonselective pelvic AE on pelvic venous flow in a swine model. We hypothesized that internal iliac vein (IIV) flow following IIA AE is reduced by half. METHODS Nine Yorkshire swine underwent nonselective right IIA gelfoam AE, followed by left. Pelvic arterial and venous diameter, velocity, and flow were recorded at baseline, after right IIA AE and after left IIA AE. Linear mixed-effect model and signed rank test were used to evaluate significant changes between the three time points. RESULTS Eight swine (77.8 ± 7.1 kg) underwent successful nonselective IIA AE based on achieving arterial resistive index of 1.0. One case was aborted because of technical difficulties. Compared with baseline, right IIV flow rate dropped by 36% ± 29% (p < 0.05) and 54% ± 29% (p < 0.01) following right and left IIA AE, respectively. Right IIA AE had no initial effect on left IIV flow (0.37% ± 99%, p = 0.95). However, after left IIA AE, left IIV flow reduced by 54% ± 27% (p < 0.01). Internal iliac artery AE had no effect on the external iliac arterial or venous flow rates and no effect on inferior vena cava flow rate. CONCLUSION The effect of unilateral and bilateral IIA AE on IIV flow appears to be additive. Despite bilateral IIA AE, pelvic venous flow is diminished but not absent. There is abundant collateral circulation between the external and internal iliac vascular systems. Arterial embolization may reduce venous flow and improve on resuscitation efforts in those with unstable pelvic fractures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic, level IV.
