Abstract
Hemorrhage is the cause of death in 30-40% of severely injured patients due to trauma and the most frequent avoidable cause of death. In civilian emergency medical services, the majority of life-threatening hemorrhages are found in incompressible body regions (e.g. abdomen and pelvis). Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has therefore been discussed in recent years as a lifesaving procedure for temporary bleeding control in multiple trauma patients. Since August 2020 REBOA is implented in the treatment of seriously injured patients in the emergency department of the University Hospital of Bern. In this case series we report on our experiences in all seven patients in whom we performed this procedure during the first year.Entities:

S3-Leitlinie Polytrauma/Schwerverletztenversorgung (Deutschland) [ | „Die temporäre endovaskuläre Ballonokklusion der Aorta (REBOA) oder anderer großer Gefäße kann bei kreislaufinstabilen Patienten in extremis zur Wiederherstellung einer zentralen Zirkulation angewandt werden, um das Zeitfenster bis zur definitiven operativen oder interventionellen Therapie zu vergrößern.“ (Empfehlungsgrad 0) |
S3-Leitlinie zu Screening, Diagnostik, Therapie und Nachsorge des Bauchaortenaneurysmas (Deutschland) [ | „Der Einsatz des aortalen Okklusionsballons bei EVAR sollte bei Patienten mit hypovolämischem Schock erwogen werden.“ (Evidenzgrad 4/Empfehlungsgrad B, starker Konsens) |
The European guideline on management of major bleeding and coagulopathy following trauma: fifth edition (Europa) [ | „We suggest that the use of aortic balloon occlusion be considered only under extreme circumstances in patients with pelvic fracture in order to gain time until appropriate bleeding control measures can be implemented.“ (Grade 2C) |
Consensus on resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta: A first consensus paper using a Delphi method (internationale Konsenspublikation) [ | „The expert panel reached consensus that REBOA can be used in austere military setting, emergency departments, operating rooms and intensive care units, but disagrees with the statement that REBOA is feasible in the prehospital setting (20/36, 55.6 %). Panel members reached consensus that REBOA is indicated in the following patient populations: traumatic abdominopelvic hemorrhage, hemorrhage arising from a ruptured aneurysm, patients with severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) […]. The physiological parameters to select patients for REBOA use are trauma victims […] with an initial systolic blood pressure of < 90 mm Hg who do not respond at all to initial fluid or blood products and trauma victims with an ATLS class IV hypovolemic shock. Patients in extremis (no pulse, no blood pressure) should not be considered for REBOA with 25/36; 69.4 % of panel members agreeing. […] The panel did not support the statement that trauma victims with a systolic pressure > 90 mm Hg, but with a mechanism of injury suspicious for high early bleeding risk (severe pelvic fracture, positive FAST exam) should be eligible for REBOA (7/36; 19.4 %).“ |
Joint statement from the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) regarding the clinical use of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) (USA) [ | „REBOA is indicated for traumatic life-threatening hemorrhage below the diaphragm in patients in hemorrhagic shock who are unresponsive or transiently responsive to resuscitation.“ „REBOA is indicated for patients arriving in arrest from injury due to presumed life-threatening hemorrhage below the diaphragm. No evidence exists for the recommended duration of arrest and use of REBOA but should be used within the same time period as would resuscitative thoracotomy.“ |
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta in NSW trauma (Australien) [ | „Currently, there is insufficient high-level evidence on REBOA’s effectiveness for improving mortality outcomes in trauma. […] Uncertainty around which patient cohort is likely to most benefit (i.e. survival benefit) from REBOA remains a fundamental question; identifying the optimal patient group, where and when REBOA is implemented are some crucial questions, when answered, may provide greater clarity. TIC recommends further prospective studies are necessary to understand the role of REBOA in torso haemorrhage in trauma and which patient group is likely to benefit from REBOA intervention.“ |
Clinical use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in civilian trauma systems in the USA, 2019: a joint statement from the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, the American College of Emergency Physicians, the National Association of Emergency Medical Services Physicians and the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (USA) [ | „There is no high-grade evidence demonstrating that REBOA improves outcomes or survival compared with standard treatment of severe traumatic hemorrhage. […] At a small number of high-volume trauma centers experienced with this procedure, REBOA has emerged as a protocolized option in select patients with non-compressible torso trauma. […] REBOA is a tool that should only be employed as part of a larger system of damage control resuscitation, definitive hemorrhage control, and postoperative critical care. It is used to temporize patients at high risk of mortality from non-compressible torso hemorrhage.“ |
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in patients with major trauma and uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock: a systematic review with meta-analysis (Italien, Metaanalyse im Rahmen der Leitlinien-Entwicklung zur Schwerverletztenversorgung für das Istituto Superiore di Sanità) [ | „Our findings on overall mortality suggest a positive effect of REBOA among non-compressible torso injuries when compared to RT but no differences compared to no-REBOA. Variability in indications and patient characteristics prevents any conclusion deserving further investigation. REBOA should be promoted in specific training programs in an experimental setting in order to test its effectiveness and a randomized trial should be planned.“ |
