Medical University of Graz10 enrolled

Overview

This study seeks to evaluate the feasibility of a Abdominal Aortic Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (AAJT-S) in exanguinating trauma patients with non-compressible truncal haemorrhage in the emergency room and the pre-hospital setting.

The study is designed as a prospective observational study to accomapany the impementation of this device in clinical routine. However, the device has already been used in the emergency room and AAJT-S application is no study specific intervention.
