Prehospital resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in patients with major trauma and cardiac arrest: a systematic review

This systematic review aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of prehospital resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in patients experiencing major trauma and cardiac arrest. The findings indicate that while REBOA can be successfully deployed in a majority of cases, survival rates and complications vary significantly, highlighting the need for more robust studies to better understand its impact on patient outcomes in prehospital settings. Overall, the evidence remains limited due to methodological limitations and a lack of comprehensive data on survival rates.
