Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a procedure that involves placement of an endovascular balloon in the aorta to temporarily control non-compressible torso haemorrhage.
It offers a potential solution to bridge a patient with critical torso haemorrhage to definitive haemorrhage control.
This evidence report aims to provide:
- a rapid evidence review on REBOA use in trauma
- a NSW gap analysis assessing potential REBOA cohort
- insights and next steps on the potential use of REBOA in NSW.
