Pre-hospital application of REBOA for life-threatening hemorrhage.

Pre-hospital application of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is an effective method for managing life-threatening traumatic hemorrhages in both military and civilian settings. REBOA involves using a balloon catheter device to control bleeding and stabilize patients' hemodynamic state, allowing for longer transport times and definitive hemostasis. It has been successfully used by the US Army and Russian Army in combat situations, reducing mortality rates. Pre-hospital REBOA also holds promise for trauma patients in civilian conditions, but standardized training and a well-coordinated emergency healthcare system are necessary for its implementation.
