Aortic Occlusion Zones
based upon injury pattern
- Zones I and III preferred
- Avoid occlusion in Zone II
- Confirm zone of occlusion
- n plain x ray or
fluoroscopy
Conclusions from this series
- REBOA is a feasible and effective means of
proactive aortic control for patients in end- stage shock from blunt and penetrating mechanisms
- Can be safely placed by Acute Care
Surgeons with some, but no formal, vascular training
- More studies necessary to define population
where REBOA is truly beneficial
