A Pilot Study of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) in a Pediatric Swine (Sus scrofa) Model

Abstract

We hypothesized that Resuscitative Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) would be possible in pediatric animals and that those that underwent REBOA would have decreased blood loss and longer survival times than control animals. Anesthetized and instrumented pediatric swine received either complete zone 1 REBOA (n=6) using a 5F Fogarty embolectomy balloon for 30 minutes, or no treatment (n=5) following liver injury and 5 minutes of free bleeding. Physiologic data were collected until the end of the experiment and tissues were examined.
