Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta in Haemorrhagic Shock

Overview

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a procedure that has the goal to stabilize trauma patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage by temporarily occluding the aorta with a ballon catheter to increase central perfusion and stop uncontrollable bleeding from the diaphragm downwards. The investigators are planning to evaluate all patients who had a REBOA catheter placed at their clinic or in the pre-clinical setting from the start of 2019 to the 31.12.2022 who were transferred to their clinic, with basic demographic and clinical data, the procedural specifics, and their potential complications.

Investigators will search for patients who had a REBOA catheter placed in the study period in the clinical documentation system (openMEDOCS) and the database of the German trauma registry. Documentation will include hemodynamic parameters, transfused blood products, complications, basic demographics and mortality up to thirty days after REBOA placement. The investigators will then try to find patients with similar trauma mechanism and severity of trauma in the German trauma registry and match them with their REBOA patients.
