Original Title:
Εφαρμογή της τεχνικής REBOA (Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta) για την αντιμετώπιση σοβαρής εσωτερικής αιμορραγίας λόγω τραύματος σε προνοσοκομειακό επίπεδο.
Translated title:
Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) implementation for severe trauma hemorrhage in the prehospital setting.
Summary:
INTRODUCTION: Bleeding is a leading cause of death due to trauma. The treatment of life-threatening internal hemorrhage is the subject of ongoing research.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to describe the REBOA technique and to investigate its application in patients with major hemorrhage due to trauma at the prehospital level.
METHODOLOGY: The study is divided into 2 sections: the first general part is a bibliographic review of the purpose of presenting the technique. The second, special section, is a systematic review of scientific articles published over the past 15 years with the aim of investigating its prehospital application to injured adults.
RESULTS: The technique consists of promoting and inflating of a balloon catheter within the aorta in purpose of temporary hemodynamic stabilization of the injured. It seems to offer a potential benefit while involving local and systematic complications.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the method is promising, its widespread use requires more extensive research and adequate training.
