A Novel Endovascular Approach for Treatment of Noncompressible Truncal Hemorrhage
Abstract
This project directly addresses the focus area, Innovative and novel technologies that can stop life-threatening bleeding in the torso region of patients who are delayed in receiving definitive surgical care. The goal of this project is to test the effect of a novel simplified endovascular approach to noncompressible truncal hemorrhage by infusing hemostats directly into the aorta using experimental models. This project seeks to test its effects on critical aspects of the pathophysiology of noncompressible truncal hemorrhage, REBOA, and resuscitation during simulated tactical combat casualty care. Results will be used to guide further development of the endovascular approach for translation to human use within the next 5-10 years and will ultimately benefit Service Members and the public by providing a new and improved therapy for severe trauma casualties.
