Abstract
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is used to control noncompressible hemorrhage not addressed with traditional tourniquets. However, REBOA is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and subsequent mortality in severely injured trauma patients. Here, we investigated how the degree of aortic occlusion altered the extent of AKI in a porcine model. Female Yorkshire-cross swine (n = 16, 68.1 ± 0.7 kg) were anesthetized and had carotid and bilateral femoral arteries accessed for REBOA insertion and distal and proximal blood pressure monitoring. Through a laparotomy, a 6-cm liver laceration was performed and balloon inflation was performed in zone 1 of the aorta for 90 min, during which animals were randomized to target distal mean arterial pressures of 25 or 45 mmHg via balloon volume adjustment. Blood draws were taken at baseline, end of occlusion, and time of death, at which point renal tissues were harvested 6 h after balloon deflation for histological and molecular analyses. Renal blood flow was lower in the 25-mmHg group (48.5 ± 18.3 mL/min) than in the 45-mmHg group (177.9 ± 27.2 mL/min) during the occlusion phase, which recovered and was not different after balloon deflation. AKI was more severe in the 25-mmHg group, as evidenced by circulating creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. The 25-mmHg group had increased tubular necrosis, lower renal citrate synthase activity, increased tissue and circulating syndecan-1, and elevated systemic inflammatory cytokines. The extent of renal ischemia-induced AKI is associated with the magnitude of mitochondrial biomass and systemic inflammation, highlighting potential mechanistic targets to combine with partial REBOA strategies to prevent AKI.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Large animal models of ischemia-reperfusion acute kidney injury (IR-AKI) are lacking. This report establishes a titratable IR-AKI model in swine in which a balloon catheter can be used to alter distal pressures experienced by the kidney, thus controlling renal blood flow. Lower blood flow results in greater renal dysfunction and structural damage, as well as lower mitochondrial biomass, elevated systemic inflammation, and vascular dysfunction.

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.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1171904. [PMID: 37680564 PMCID: PMC10482261 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1171904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction The pressure-volume (P-V) relationships of the left ventricle are the classical benchmark for studying cardiac mechanics and pumping function. Perturbations in the P-V relationship (or P-V loop) can be informative and guide the management of heart failure, hypovolemia, and aortic occlusion. Traditionally, P-V loop analyses have been limited to a single-beat P-V loop or an average of consecutive P-V loops (e.g., 10 cardiac cycles). While there are several algorithms to obtain single-beat estimations of the end-systolic and end-diastolic pressure-volume relations (i.e., ESPVR and EDPVR, respectively), there remains a need to better evaluate the variations in P-V relationships longitudinally over time. This is particularly important when studying acute and transient hemodynamic and cardiac events, such as active hemorrhage or aortic occlusion. In this study, we aim to investigate the variability in P-V relationships during hemorrhagic shock and aortic occlusion, by leveraging on a previously published porcine hemorrhage model. Methods Briefly, swine were instrumented with a P-V catheter in the left ventricle of the heart and underwent a 25% total blood volume hemorrhage over 30 min, followed by either Zone 1 complete aortic occlusion (i.e., REBOA), Zone 1 endovascular variable aortic control (EVAC), or no occlusion as a control, for 45 min. Preload-independent metrics of cardiac performance were obtained at predetermined time points by performing inferior vena cava occlusion during a ventilatory pause. Continuous P-V loop data and other hemodynamic flow and pressure measurements were collected in real-time using a multi-channel data acquisition system. Results We developed a custom algorithm to quantify the time-dependent variance in both load-dependent and independent cardiac parameters from each P-V loop. As expected, all pigs displayed a significant decrease in the end-systolic pressures and volumes (i.e., ESP, ESV) after hemorrhage. The variability in response to hemorrhage was consistent across all three groups. However, upon introduction of REBOA, we observed significantly high levels of variability in both load-dependent and independent cardiac metrics such as ESP, ESV, and the slope of ESPVR (Ees). For instance, pigs receiving REBOA experienced a 342% increase in ESP from hemorrhage, while pigs receiving EVAC experienced only a 188% increase. The level of variability within the EVAC group was consistently less than that of the REBOA group, which suggests that the EVAC group may be more supportive of maintaining healthier cardiac performance than complete occlusion with REBOA. Discussion In conclusion, we successfully developed a novel algorithm to reliably quantify the single-beat and longitudinal P-V relations during hemorrhage and aortic occlusion. As expected, hemorrhage resulted in smaller P-V loops, reflective of decreased preload and afterload conditions; however, the cardiac output and heart rate were preserved. The use of REBOA and EVAC for 44 min resulted in the restoration of baseline afterload and preload conditions, but often REBOA exceeded baseline pressure conditions to an alarming level. The level of variability in response to REBOA was significant and could be potentially associated to cardiac injury. By quantifying each P-V loop, we were able to capture the variability in all P-V loops, including those that were irregular in shape and believe that this can help us identify critical time points associated with declining cardiac performance during hemorrhage and REBOA use.

Abstract
ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after hemorrhage is potentiated by aortic occlusion or resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). Given the central role of mitochondrial injury in shock, we hypothesized that Elamipretide, a peptide that protects mitochondria, would mitigate IRI after hemorrhagic shock and REBOA. Twelve pigs were subjected to hemorrhagic shock and 45 min of REBOA. After 25 min of REBOA, animals received either saline or Elamipretide. Animals were transfused with autologous blood during balloon deflation, and pigs were resuscitated with isotonic crystalloids and norepinephrine for 4.25 h. Elamipretide-treated animals required less crystalloids than the controls (62.5 [50-90] and 25 [5-30] mL/kg, respectively), but similar amounts of norepinephrine (24.7 [8.6-39.3] and 9.7 [2.1-12.5] mcg/kg, respectively). Treatment animals had a significant reduction in serum creatinine (control: 2.7 [2.6-2.8]; Elamipretide: 2.4 [2.4-2.5] mg/dL; p = 0.04), troponin (control: 3.20 [2.14-5.47] ng/mL, Elamipretide: 0.22 [0.1-1.91] ng/mL; p = 0.03), and interleukin-6 concentrations at the end of the study. There were no differences in final plasma lactate concentration. Elamipretide reduced fluid requirements and protected the kidney and heart after profound IRI. Further understanding the subcellular consequences of REBOA and mitochondrial rescue will open new therapeutic avenues for patients suffering from IRI after hemorrhage.

Next-Generation REBOA (Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta) Device Precisely Achieves Targeted Regional Optimization in a Porcine Model of Hemorrhagic Shock. J Surg Res 2022; 280:1-9. [PMID: 35939866 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2022.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/04/2022] [Indexed: 10/16/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Limitations such as time-dependent distal ischemia have slowed the adoption of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) for noncompressible hemorrhage. Next-generation REBOA technologies may allow for controlled partial flow, known as targeted regional optimization, to reduce distal ischemia. We aimed to characterize the efficacy of one such catheter in a porcine model of lethal hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Noncompressible hemorrhage from an iliac injury was induced in anesthetized swine (Sus scrofa) (70-90 kg), targeting 30% total blood volume. Animals were then randomized to partial aortic occlusion (PO) with targeted distal mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 35-40 mm of mercury (mm Hg) and complete aortic occlusion (CO) (n = 8 per group) for 90 min. All groups were then resuscitated during a two-h critical care (CC) phase, with flow rate and MAP recorded continuously at the distal infrarenal aorta and proximal carotid artery, and analyzed with two-way repeated measures analysis of variance with S-N-K post-hoc test. RESULTS During aortic occlusion, MAP distal to the balloon was consistently maintained at 35.8 ± 0.3 mm Hg in the PO group compared to 27.1 ± 0.3 mm Hg in the CO group (P < 0.05), which also corresponded to higher flow rates (202.9 ± 4.8 mL/min PO versus 25.9 ± 0.8 mL/min CO; P < 0.05). MAP proximal to the balloon was significantly higher with CO versus PO (109.2 ± 2.3 mm Hg versus 85.2 ± 2.3 mm Hg; P < 0.05). During the CC phase, distal aortic flow and MAP were not significantly different between groups. However, creatinine returned to baseline levels by the end of the study in the PO group, but not the CO group. One animal died in the CO group, whereas none died in the PO group. CONCLUSIONS This is the first examination of the next-generation pREBOA-PRO in a porcine model of lethal hemorrhagic shock. We show technical feasibility of this technique to precisely achieve targeted regional optimization without device failure or complication. The ability to titrate balloon inflation and thus distal flow/pressure may extend the therapeutic window of REBOA by mitigating distal ischemia.

Front Physiol 2022; 13:1005073. [PMID: 36311232 PMCID: PMC9606623 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.1005073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a lifesaving intervention for major truncal hemorrhage. Balloon-tipped arterial catheters are inserted via the femoral artery to create a temporary occlusion of the aorta, which minimizes the rate of internal bleeding until definitive surgery can be conducted. There is growing concern over the resultant hypoperfusion and potential damage to tissues and organs downstream of REBOA. To better understand the acute hemodynamic changes imposed by REBOA, we developed a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model under normal, hemorrhage, and aortic occlusion conditions. The goal was to characterize the acute hemodynamic changes and identify regions within the aortic vascular tree susceptible to abnormal flow and shear stress. Methods: Hemodynamic data from established porcine hemorrhage models were used to build a CFD model. Swine underwent 20% controlled hemorrhage and were randomized to receive a full or partial aortic occlusion. Using CT scans, we generated a pig-specific aortic geometry and imposed physiologically relevant inlet flow and outlet pressure boundary conditions to match in vivo data. By assuming non-Newtonian fluid properties, pressure, velocity, and shear stresses were quantified over a cardiac cycle. Results: We observed a significant rise in blood pressure (∼147 mmHg) proximal to REBOA, which resulted in increased flow and shear stress within the ascending aorta. Specifically, we observed high levels of shear stress within the subclavian arteries (22.75 Pa). Alternatively, at the site of full REBOA, wall shear stress was low (0.04 ± 9.07E-4 Pa), but flow oscillations were high (oscillatory shear index of 0.31). Comparatively, partial REBOA elevated shear levels to 84.14 ± 19.50 Pa and reduced flow oscillations. Our numerical simulations were congruent within 5% of averaged porcine experimental data over a cardiac cycle. Conclusion: This CFD model is the first to our knowledge to quantify the acute hemodynamic changes imposed by REBOA. We identified areas of low shear stress near the site of occlusion and high shear stress in the subclavian arteries. Future studies are needed to determine the optimal design parameters of endovascular hemorrhage control devices that can minimize flow perturbations and areas of high shear.

Automated aortic endovascular balloon volume titration prevents re-arrest immediately after return of spontaneous circulation in a swine model of nontraumatic cardiac arrest. Resusc Plus 2022; 10:100239.

Abstract
Objectives Endovascular aortic occlusion as an adjunct to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for non-traumatic cardiac arrest is gaining interest. In a recent clinical trial, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved despite prolonged no-flow times. However, 66% of patients re-arrested upon balloon deflation. We aimed to determine if automated titration of endovascular balloon volume following ROSC can augment diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to prevent re-arrest. Methods Twenty swine were anesthetized and placed into ventricular fibrillation (VF). Following 7 minutes of no-flow VF and 5 minutes of mechanical CPR, animals were subjected to complete aortic occlusion to adjunct CPR. Upon ROSC, the balloon was either deflated steadily over 5 minutes (control) or underwent automated, dynamic adjustments to maintain a DBP of 60 mmHg (Endovascular Variable Aortic Control, EVAC). Results ROSC was obtained in ten animals (5 EVAC, 5 REBOA). Sixty percent (3/5) of control animals rearrested while none of the EVAC animals rearrested (p = 0.038). Animals in the EVAC group spent a significantly higher proportion of the post-ROSC period with a DBP > 60 mmHg [median (IQR)] [control 79.7 (72.5–86.0)%; EVAC 97.7 (90.8–99.7)%, p = 0.047]. The EVAC group had a statistically significant reduction in arterial lactate concentration [7.98 (7.4–8.16) mmol/L] compared to control [9.93 (8.86–10.45) mmol/L, p = 0.047]. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in the amount of adrenaline (epinephrine) required. Conclusion In our swine model of cardiac arrest, automated aortic endovascular balloon titration improved DBP and prevented re-arrest in the first 20 minutes after ROSC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted regional optimization (TRO), a partial resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta strategy, may mitigate distal ischemia and extend the window of effectiveness for this adjunct. An automated device may allow greater control and precise regulation of flow past the balloon, while being less resource-intensive. The objective of this study was to assess the technical feasibility of the novel advanced partial occlusion controller (APOC) in achieving TRO at multiple distal pressures. METHODS Female swine (n = 48, 68.1 ± 0.7 kg) were randomized to a target distal mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 25 mm Hg, 35 mm Hg, or 45 mm Hg by either manual (MAN) or APOC regulation (n = 8 per group). Uncontrolled hemorrhage was generated by liver laceration. Targeted regional optimization was performed for 85 minutes, followed by surgical control and a 6-hour critical care phase. Proximal and distal MAP and flow rates were measured continuously. RESULTS At a target distal MAP of 25 mm Hg, there was no difference in the MAP attained (APOC: 26.2 ± 1.05 vs. MAN: 26.1 ± 1.78 mm Hg) but the APOC had significantly less deviance (10.9%) than manual titration (14.9%, p < 0.0001). Similarly, at a target distal MAP of 45 mm Hg, there was no difference in mean pressure (44.0 ± 0.900 mm Hg vs. 45.2 ± 1.31 mm Hg) but APOC had less deviance (9.34% vs. 11.9%, p < 0.0001). There was no difference between APOC and MAN in mean (34.6 mm Hg vs. 33.7 mm Hg) or deviance (9.95% vs. 10.4%) at a target distal MAP of 35 mm Hg, respectively. The APOC made on average 77 balloon volume adjustments per experiment compared with 29 by manual titrations. CONCLUSION The novel APOC consistently achieved and sustained precisely regulated TRO across all groups and demonstrated reduced deviance at the 25 mm Hg and 45 mm Hg groups compared with manual titration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Targeted regional optimization (TRO) describes partial resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) strategy that allows for controlled distal perfusion to balance hemostasis and tissue perfusion. This study characterized hemodynamics at specific targeted distal flow rates in a swine model of uncontrolled hemorrhage to determine if precise TRO by volume was possible. METHODS Anesthetized swine were subjected to liver laceration and randomized into TRO at distal flows of 300 (n = 8), 500 (n = 8) or 700 ml/min (n = 8). After 90 minutes, the animals received damage control packing and were monitored for 6 hours. Hemodynamic parameters were measured continuously, and hematology and serologic labs obtained at predetermined intervals. RESULTS During TRO, the average percent deviation from the targeted flow was lower than 15.9% for all cohorts. Average renal flow rates were significantly different across all cohorts during TRO phase (p<0.0001; TRO300 = 63.1 ± 1.2; TRO500=133.70 ± 1.93; TRO700=109.3 ± 2.0), with the TRO700 cohort having less renal flow than TRO500. The TRO500 and TRO700 average renal flow rates inverted during the ICU phase (p < 0.0001; TRO300=86.20 ± 0.40; TRO500=148.50 ± 1.45; TRO700= 181.1 ± 0.70). There was higher BUN, creatinine, and potassium in the TRO300 cohort at the end of the experiment, but no difference in lactate or pH between cohorts. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated technical feasibility of TRO as a strategy to improve outcomes after prolonged periods of aortic occlusion and resuscitation in the setting of ongoing solid organ hemorrhage. A dose-dependent ischemic end-organ injury occurs beginning with partial aortic occlusion that progresses through the critical care phase, with exaggerated effect on renal function.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) allows for effective temporization of exsanguination from non-compressible hemorrhage (NCTH) below the diaphragm. However, the therapeutic window for aortic occlusion is time-limited given the ischemia-reperfusion injury generated. Significant effort has been put into translational research to develop new strategies to alleviate the ischemia-reperfusion injury and extend the application of endoaortic occlusion. Targeted regional optimization (TRO) is a partial REBOA strategy to augment proximal aortic and cerebral blood flow while targeting minimal threshold of distal perfusion beyond the zone of partial aortic occlusion. The objective of TRO is to reduce the degree of ischemia caused by complete aortic occlusion while providing control of distal hemorrhage. This review provides a synopsis of the concept of TRO, pre-clinical, translational experiences with TRO and early clinical outcomes. Early results from TRO strategies are promising; however, further studies are needed prior to large-scale implementation into clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trauma is the leading cause of death in children. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) provides temporary hemorrhage control, but its potential benefit has not been assessed in children. We hypothesized that there are pediatric patients who may benefit from REBOA. METHODS Trauma patients <18 years old at a level 1 pediatric trauma center between 2009 and 2019 were queried for deaths, pre-hospital cardiac arrest, massive transfusion protocol activation, transfusion requirement, or hemorrhage control surgery. These patients defined the cohort of severely injured patients. From this cohort, patients with intraabdominal injuries for which REBOA may provide temporary hemorrhage control were identified, including solid organ injury necessitating intervention, vascular injury, or pelvic hemorrhage. RESULTS There were 239 severely injured patients out of 6538 pediatric traumas. Of these, 38 had REBOA-amenable injuries (15.9%) with 34.2% mortality, accounting for 10.2% of all pediatric trauma deaths at one center. Eleven patients with REBOA-amenable injuries had TBI (28.9%). Patients with REBOA-amenable injuries represented 0.6% of all pediatric traumas. CONCLUSION Nearly 20% of severely injured pediatric patients could potentially benefit from REBOA. The overall proportion of pediatric patients with REBOA-amenable injuries is similar to adult studies. TYPE OF STUDY Retrospective comparative study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) was developed to prevent traumatic exsanguination. We aim to identify the outcomes in animal models with 1) partial versus complete REBOA occlusion and 2) zone 1 versus 2 placements. METHODS The PRISMA guidelines were followed. We conducted a search of PubMed, EMBASE and Google Scholar for REBOA studies in animal trauma models using the following search terms: "REBOA trauma", "REBOA outcomes" "REBOA complications". SYRCLE's RoB Tool was utilized for the risk of bias and study quality assessment. RESULTS Our search yielded 14 RCTs for inclusion. Eleven studies directly investigated partial REBOA versus total aortic occlusion. Overall, partial REBOA techniques were associated with similar attainment of proximal MAP but with significantly less ischemic burden. Significant mortality benefit with partial occlusion was observed in three studies. Survival time post-occlusion also was improved with zone 3 placement versus zone 1 (100% versus 33%; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS There appears to be a fine balance between desired proximal arterial pressure and time of occlusion for overall survival and subsequent risk of distal ischemia. Many "partial occlusion" techniques may be superior in attaining such balance over prolonged REBOA inflation where no distal flow is allowed. Tailored zone 3 placement may offer significant mortality and morbidity advantages compared to sustained total occlusion and indiscriminate zone 1 placement strategies. As clear conclusions regarding REBOA are unlikely to be established in animal models, larger randomized investigations utilizing human subjects are needed to describe optimal REBOA technique and applicability in greater detail.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has become a standard adjunct for the management of life-threatening truncal hemorrhage, but the technique is limited by the sequalae of ischemia distal to occlusion. Partial REBOA addresses this limitation, and the recent Food and Drug Administration approval of a device designed to enable partial REBOA will broaden its application. We conducted a systematic review of the available animal and clinical literature on the methods, impacts, and outcomes associated with partial REBOA as a technique to enable targeted proximal perfusion and limit distal ischemic injury. We hypothesize that a systematic review of the published animal and human literature on partial REBOA will provide actionable insight for the use of partial REBOA in the context of future wider clinical implementation of this technique. METHODS Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Protocols guidelines, we conducted a search of the available literature which used partial inflation of a REBOA balloon catheter. Findings from 22 large animal studies and 14 clinical studies met inclusion criteria. RESULTS Animal and clinical results support the benefits of partial REBOA including extending the resuscitative window extended safe occlusion time, improved survival, reduced proximal hypertension, and reduced resuscitation requirements. Clinical studies provide practical physiologic targets for partial REBOA including a period of total occlusion followed by gradual balloon deflation to achieve a target proximal pressure and/or target distal pressure. CONCLUSIONS Partial REBOA has several benefits which have been observed in animal and clinical studies, most notably reduced ischemic insult to tissues distal to occlusion and improved outcomes compared with total occlusion. Practical clinical protocols are available for the implementation of partial REBOA in cases of life-threatening torso hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is recommended in adults with a noncompressible torso hemorrhage with occlusion times of less than 60 minutes. The tolerable duration in children is unknown. We used a pediatric swine controlled hemorrhage model to evaluate the physiologic effects of 30 minutes and 60 minutes of REBOA. METHODS Pediatric swine weighing 20 kg to 30 kg underwent a splenectomy and a controlled 60% total blood volume hemorrhage over 30 minutes, followed by either zone 1 REBOA for 30 minutes (30R) or 60 minutes (60R). Swine were then resuscitated with shed blood and received critical care for 240 minutes. RESULTS During critical care, the 30R group's (n = 3) pH, bicarbonate, base excess, and lactate were no different than baseline, while at the end of critical care, these variables continued to differ from baseline in the 60R group (n = 5) and were worsening (7.4 vs. 7.2, p < 0.001, 30.4 mmol/L vs. 18.4 mmol/L, p < 0.0001, 5.6 mmol/L vs. -8.5 mmol/L, p < 0.0001, 2.4 mmol/L vs. 5.7 mmol/L, p < 0.001, respectively). Compared with baseline, end creatinine and creatinine kinase were elevated in 60R swine (1.0 mg/dL vs. 1.7 mg/dL, p < 0.01 and 335.4 U/L vs. 961.0 U/L, p < 0.001, respectively), but not 30R swine (0.9 mg/dL vs. 1.2 mg/dL, p = 0.06 and 423.7 U/L vs. 769.5 U/L, p = 0.15, respectively). There was no difference in survival time between the 30R and 60R pediatric swine, p = 0.99. CONCLUSION The physiologic effects of 30 minutes of zone 1 REBOA in pediatric swine mostly resolved during the subsequent 4 hours of critical care, whereas the effects of 60 minutes of REBOA persisted and worsened after 4 hours of critical care. Sixty minutes of zone 1 REBOA may create an irreversible physiologic insult in a pediatric population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endovascular variable aortic control (EVAC) is an automated partial resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) platform designed to mitigate the deleterious effects of complete REBOA. Long-term experiments are needed to assess potential benefits. The feasibility of a 24-hour experiment in a complex large animal trauma model remains unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anesthetized swine were subjected to controlled hemorrhage, blunt thoracic trauma, and tibial fractures. Animals were then randomized (N = 3/group) to control (No balloon support), 90 minutes of complete supraceliac REBOA, or 10 minutes of supraceliac REBOA followed by 80 minutes of EVAC. One hundred ten minutes after injury, animals were resuscitated with shed blood, the REBOA catheter was removed. Automated critical care under general anesthesia was maintained for 24 hours. RESULTS Animals in the control and EVAC groups survived to the end of the experiment. Animals in the REBOA group survived for 120, 130, and 660 minutes, respectively. Animals in the EVAC group displayed similar mean arterial pressure and plasma lactate concentration as the control group by the end of the experiment. Histologic analysis suggested myocardial injury in the REBOA group when compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the feasibility of intermediate-term experiments in a complex swine model of polytrauma with 90 minutes of REBOA. EVAC may be associated with improved survival at 24 hours when compared with complete REBOA. EVAC resulted in normalized physiology after 24 hours, suggesting that prolonged partial occlusion is possible. Longer studies evaluating partial REBOA strategies are needed.

Abstract
Noncompressible torso hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of preventable death worldwide. An efficient and appropriate evaluation of the trauma patient with ongoing hemorrhage is essential to avoid the development of the lethal diamond (hypothermia, coagulopathy, hypocalcemia, and acidosis). Currently, the initial management strategies include permissive hypotension, hemostatic resuscitation, and damage control surgery. However, recent advances in technology have opened the doors to a wide variety of endovascular techniques that achieve these goals with minimal morbidity and limited access. An example of such advances has been the introduction of the Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA), which has received great interest among trauma surgeons around the world due to its potential and versatility in areas such as trauma, gynecology & obstetrics and gastroenterology. This article aims to describe the experience earned in the use of REBOA in noncompressible torso hemorrhage patients. Our results show that REBOA can be used as a new component in the damage control resuscitation of the severely injured trauma patient. To this end, we propose two new deployment algorithms for hemodynamically unstable noncompressible torso hemorrhage patients: one for blunt and another for penetrating trauma. We acknowledge that REBOA has its limitations, which include a steep learning curve, its inherent cost and availability. Although to reach the best outcomes with this new technology, it must be used in the right way, by the right surgeon with the right training and to the right patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE While resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is contraindicated in patients with aortic injuries, this technique may benefit poly-trauma patients with less extreme thoracic injuries. The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of thoracic injury on hemodynamics during REBOA and the changes in pulmonary contusion over time in a swine model. METHODS Twelve swine were anesthetized, instrumented, and randomized to receive either a thoracic injury with 5 impacts to the chest or no injury. All animals underwent controlled hemorrhage of 25% blood volume followed by 45 min of Zone 1 REBOA. Animals were then resuscitated with shed blood, observed during a critical care period, and euthanized after 6 h of total experimental time. RESULTS There were no differences between the groups at baseline. The only difference after 6 h was a lower hemoglobin in the thoracic trauma group (8.4 ± 0.8 versus 9.4 ± 0.6 g/dL, P = 0.04). The average proximal mean arterial pressures were significantly lower in the thoracic trauma group during aortic occlusion [103 (98-108) versus 117 (115-124) mmHg, P = 0.04]. There were no differences between the pulmonary contusion before REBOA and at the end of the experiment in size (402 ± 263 versus 356 ± 291 mL, P = 0.782) or density (- 406 ± 127 versus - 299 ± 175 HFU, P = 0.256). CONCLUSIONS Thoracic trauma blunted the proximal arterial pressure augmentation during REBOA but had minimal impacts on resuscitative outcomes. This initial study indicates that REBOA does not seem to exacerbate pulmonary contusion in swine, but blunt thoracic injuries may attenuate the expected rises in proximal blood pressure during REBOA.

Esmolol reduces myocardial injury induced by resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in a porcine model of hemorrhagic shock. Injury 2020; 51:2165-2171. [PMID: 32669205 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2020.07.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2019] [Revised: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) causes myocardial injury from increased aortic afterload and supraphysiologic cardiac output. However, pharmacologic methods to attenuate high cardiac output and reduce myocardial injury have not been explored. We hypothesized that the use of esmolol during REBOA would reduce myocardial injury. METHODS Ten pigs were anesthetized and instrumented. Following 25% total blood volume hemorrhage, animals underwent 45 min of supraceliac (zone 1) REBOA with or without titration of esmolol to maintain heart rate between 80 and 100 beats per minute. Following the REBOA interventions, animals underwent 275 min of standardized critical care. RESULTS During REBOA, heart rate was significantly lower in the esmolol group compared to control animals (100 [88 - 112] vs 193 [172 - 203] beats/minute, respectively, p < 0.001) and the average mean arterial pressure (MAP) was lower in the esmolol group (88.0 [80.3-94.9] vs 135.1 [131.7-140.4] mmHg, respectively, p = 0.01). During the critical care phase, there were no differences in heart rate or MAP between groups. Animals in the intervention group received 237.9 [218.7-266.5] µg/kg of esmolol. There was a significant increase from baseline in serum troponins for the control group (p = 0.006) and significantly more subendocardial hemorrhage compared to animals treated with esmolol (3 [3 - 3] and 0 [0 - 0], p = 0.009, respectively). CONCLUSION In our porcine model of hemorrhagic shock, zone 1 REBOA was associated with myocardial injury. Pharmacologic heart rate titration with esmolol during occlusion may mitigate the deleterious effects of REBOA on the heart.

J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open 2020; 1:737-743. [PMID: 33145513 PMCID: PMC7593442 DOI: 10.1002/emp2.12241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been proposed as a novel approach to managing non-traumatic cardiac arrest (NTCA). During cardiac arrest, cardiac output ceases and perfusion of vital organs is compromised. Traditional advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) measures and cardiopulmonary resuscitation are often unable to achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). During insertion of REBOA a balloon-tipped catheter is placed into the femoral artery and advanced in a retrograde manner into the aorta while the patient is undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The balloon is then inflated to fully occlude the aorta. The literature surrounding the use of aortic occlusion in non-traumatic cardiac arrest is limited to animal studies, case reports and one recent non-controlled feasibility trial. In both human and animal studies, preliminary data show that REBOA may improve coronary and cerebral perfusion pressures and key physiologic parameters during cardiac arrest resuscitation, and animal data have demonstrated improved rates of ROSC. Multiple questions remain before REBOA can be considered as an adjunct to ACLS. If demonstrated to be effective clinically, REBOA represents a potentially cost-effective and generalizable intervention that may improve quality of life for patients with non-traumatic cardiac arrest.

Mitigating Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Using a Bilobed Partial REBOA Catheter: Controlled Lower-Body Hypotension. Shock 2020; 55:396-406.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) is the leading cause of potentially preventable death on the battlefield. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) aims to restore central blood pressure and control NCTH below the balloon, but risks ischemia-reperfusion injury to distal organs when prolonged. We tested a bilobed partial REBOA catheter (pREBOA), which permits some of the blood to flow past the balloon. METHODS Female swine (n = 37, 6 groups, n = 5-8/group), anesthetized and instrumented, were exponentially hemorrhaged 50% of estimated blood volume (all except time controls [TC]). Negative controls (NC) did not receive REBOA or resuscitation. Positive controls (PC) received retransfusion after 120 min. REBOA groups received REBOA for 120 min, then retransfusion. Balloon was fully inflated in the full REBOA group (FR), and was partially inflated in partial REBOA groups (P45 and P60) to achieve a distal systolic blood pressure of 45 mm Hg or 60 mm Hg. RESULTS Aortic occlusion restored baseline values of proximal mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, and carotid flow in pREBOA groups. Lactate reached high values during occlusion in all REBOA groups (9.9 ± 4.2, 8.0 ± 4.1, and 10.7 ± 2.9 for P45, P60, and FR), but normalized by 6 to 12 h post-deflation in the partial groups. All TC and P60 animals survived 24 h. The NC, PC, and P45 groups survived 18.2 ± 9.5, 19.3 ± 10.6, and 21.0 ± 8.4 h. For FR animals mean survival was 6.2 ± 5.8 h, significantly worse than all other animals (P < 0.01, logrank test). CONCLUSIONS In this porcine model of hemorrhagic shock, animals undergoing partial REBOA for 120 min survived longer than those undergoing full occlusion.

A New Pressure-Regulated, Partial Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta Device Achieves Targeted Distal Perfusion. J Surg Res 2020; 256:171-179.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) reduces blood loss and improves hemodynamics. Complete occlusion results in distal ischemia, limiting its use for prolonged care. This study evaluated two next-generation partial REBOA (pREBOA) catheters and their ability to achieve targeted distal aortic flow. MATERIALS AND METHODS Swine underwent hemorrhagic shock, complete aortic occlusion, controlled continuous balloon deflation, and targeted distal perfusion (TDP; 300-mL/min) phases. They were randomized into three groups (n = 6/group), one managed with the current ER-REBOA (ER), and two with the new pREBOA technologies: a bilobed (BL) device and a semicompliant pREBOA-PRO (PRP). Hemodynamics including flow rates and mean arterial pressures at the carotid artery and infrarenal aorta were recorded. RESULTS Hemodynamics were comparable between groups during hemorrhage and complete occlusion phases. During the controlled continuous balloon deflation phase, the distal aortic flow rate strongly correlated with percent balloon volume in BL and PRP groups, suggesting a precise control of distal perfusion. The slope of flow-balloon-volume curves was greater in the ER group than BL and PRP groups, indicating the change in distal aortic flow rate was more sensitive to the balloon volume (less titratable) when using ER. During the TDP phase, variation in distal aortic flow and mean arterial pressure with respect to the target flow was lower in ER and PRP groups, than the BL group. CONCLUSIONS Pressure-regulated occlusion using the next-generation pREBOA catheters is more controlled than the first-generation ER-REBOA catheter and allow for targeted and precise distal perfusion.

Zone 3 REBOA does not provide hemodynamic benefits during nontraumatic cardiac arrest. Am J Emerg Med 2020; 38:1915-1920. [PMID: 32750628 PMCID: PMC7301802 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajem.2020.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Revised: 05/29/2020] [Accepted: 06/02/2020] [Indexed: 10/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) may be a novel intervention to improve cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality during cardiac arrest. Zone 1 supraceliac aortic occlusion improves coronary and cerebral blood flow. It is unknown if Zone 3 occlusion distal to the renal arteries offers a similar physiologic benefit while maintaining blood flow to organs above the point of occlusion. METHODS Fifteen swine were anesthetized, instrumented, and placed into ventricular fibrillation. Mechanical CPR was immediately initiated. After 5 min of CPR, Zone 1 REBOA, Zone 3 REBOA, or no intervention (control) was initiated. Hemodynamic variables were continuously recorded for 30 min. RESULTS There were no significant differences between groups before REBOA deployment. Once REBOA was deployed, Zone 1 animals had statistically greater diastolic blood pressure compared to control (median [IQR]: 19.9 mmHg [9.5-20.5] vs 3.9 mmHg [2.4-4.8], p = .006). There were no differences in diastolic blood pressure between Zone 1 and Zone 3 (8.6 mmHg [5.1-13.1], p = .10) or between Zone 3 and control (p = .10). There were no significant differences in systolic blood pressure, cerebral blood flow, or time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) between groups. CONCLUSION In our swine model of cardiac arrest, Zone 1 REBOA improved diastolic blood pressure when compared to control. Zone 3 does not offer a hemodynamic benefit when compared to no occlusion. Unlike prior studies, immediate use of REBOA after arrest did not result in an increase in ROSC rate, suggesting REBOA may be more beneficial in patients with prolonged no-flow time.
