Title: Does REBOA improve survival in trauma patients?<br/>Author: Robert Flint<br/><a href='http://umem.org/profiles/faculty/2561/'>[Click to email author]</a><hr/><p> <span id="docs-internal-guid-ee4e2237-7fff-427e-f2cd-e4286ac6b3f6"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This UK study randomized 90 trauma patients suspected of having major life threatening torso hemorrhage to receive standard resuscitative care vs. standard care plus resuscitative endovascular occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). Mortality was 54% in the REBOA group and 42% in the standard care group. This calls into question the routine use of REBOA in trauma resuscitations.</span></span></p> <fieldset><legend>References</legend>
