The Effects of Complete and Partial Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) with Pharmacologic Treatment in Swine Models of Hemorrhagic Shock, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Complex Vascular Injuries

Abstract

The goal of this project is to provide practical solutions for the control of non-compressible torso hemorrhage. We plan to achieve this objective by combining two innovative strategies to make REBOA more practical for the military and austere use, and by testing these approaches in clinically realistic large animal models. Specific Aim 1: Determine the effects of c-and pREBOA, with and without VPA, on brainlesion size and edema, spinal cord injury, damage to organs distal to the aortic occlusion (e.g. kidney, liver, bowel, muscles), and global ischemia-reperfusion injury in swine models of combined controlled hemorrhagic shock (HS) and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Specific Aim 2: Study the consequences of c- and pREBOA, with and without VPA treatment, on hemorrhage control, long-term survival, neurological outcomes, and multiple organ injury, in swine models of combined uncontrolled HS and TBI.
