Its use in pre-hospital emergency medicine in Germany doesnot yet regularly occur, and the vast majority of rapid response vehicles are not equipped with REBOA devices. In thisarticle we will describe the introduction of REBOA for bleeding patients, as well as an adjunct for refractory out-of-hospitalcardiac arrest (OHCA), in a German helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS).Methods: The DRF-Luftrettung HEMS base in Halle (Saale) Germany has incorporated REBOA in pre-hospital emergencymedicine and will accompany this introduction with a feasibility study. We will describe the implementationof REBOA and the results of the training course. The training consists of theoretical and practical issues within differentcase scenarios. This was carried out before introducing REBOA into pre-hospital emergency medicine. Using a preand post-course exam and a self-assessment questionnaire the theoretical and practical knowledge and the performanceof the critical care teams were determined.Results: The results of the pre-course exam in comparison with the post-course exam improved from 82% to 96%. Basedon the self-assessment questionnaires, all participants felt a relevant improvement of their theoretical and practical knowledge.All physicians successfully performed REBOA under ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation in manikin simulators.Conclusions: The results from the training course indicate that there was a significant improvement of the theoreticaland practical knowledge, as well as the performance of REBOA. The on-going feasibility study will show if it is worthintroducing REBOA in a civilian HEMS for the patients in extremis.","PeriodicalId":41233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of EndoVascular Resuscitation and Trauma Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41627013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two hypotheses prevail: increased mean arterial pressure may improve cerebralperfusion, or cause cerebral edema due to elevated intracranial pressure. This study compares outcomes inhypotensive, blunt trauma patients with TBI treated with and without REBOA.Methods: A retrospective analysis compared hypotensive (systolic blood pressure [SBP] >90) blunt trauma patientswith TBI treated with REBOA to those treated without. Patients with spontaneous circulation at admission and atinitiation of aortic occlusion were included. Patients requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the emergencydepartment (ED) were excluded. Radius matching used age, injury severity score (ISS), abbreviated injury score (AIS)-head, and Glasgow coma score (GCS) and SBP at ED arrival.Results: Of 232 patients, 135 were treated with REBOA and 97 without. REBOA patients were older and had higherISS, AIS-head, AIS-chest and AIS-extremity. There was no difference in TBI severity, and mortality. In the matchedanalysis (n = 76 REBOA, n = 54 non-REBOA), there was no difference in ISS, AIS-head, pre-hospital, ED, or dischargeGCS, ED SBP, or mortality. Despite longer hospital stays for REBOA patients, there was no difference in intensive careunit length of stay, rate of discharge home, or discharge GCS.Conclusions: REBOA was used in more severely injured patients, but was not associated with higher mortality rate.REBOA should be considered for use in patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage and concomitant TBI, as itdid not increase mortality, and outcomes were similar to non-REBOA patients.","PeriodicalId":41233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of EndoVascular Resuscitation and Trauma Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43111865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

REBOA has also been proposed as an option for non-traumatic hemorrhage, such as gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage. In this case report, the use of a partial REBOA (p-REBOA) for a patient with an acute upper GI hemorrhage is presented as a management strategy to temporize bleeding. Methods: Case information was obtained from the electronic medical record at the University Medical Center in New Orleans. Results: A 46- year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department with concern for an upper GI bleed. The patient was tachycardic on presentation and then quickly became unresponsive. Massive transfusion protocol was initiated and a p-REBOA catheter was placed in Zone 1. After the REBOA was inflated 20 mL in 2 mL increments, the patient’s blood pressure improved, while maintaining distal perfusion. An exploratory laparotomy, with an angiogram once the patient had been stabilized, was planned. Despite resuscitative efforts for more than 2 hours, the patient progressed to cardiac arrest and did not have return of spontaneous circulation. Conclusions: This case report describes the use of p-REBOA in Zone 1 to control hemorrhage in a patient with a suspected upper GI bleed. This strategy could be utilized in patients with suspected non-traumatic hemorrhage in order to control bleeding temporarily and allow for ongoing resuscitation and stabilization of a patient prior to definitive treatment.","PeriodicalId":41233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of EndoVascular Resuscitation and Trauma Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48546211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A hybrid emergency room is an emergency unit that can be used for resuscitation, computed tomography (CT), surgery, and angiography. Therefore, immediate CT and endovascular therapy can be performed without transfer to other rooms. We aimed to evaluate the possibility of using a hybrid emergency room to shorten the time to endovascular therapy in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods: This was a single-institutional, retrospective, and observational study. Patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular therapy in the hybrid emergency room between May 2018 and May 2020 were included in the study. The main outcome was door-to-puncture time. The secondary outcomes were door-to-reperfusion and onset-to-puncture time. Descriptive statistics were also calculated. Outcome times were compared with those recommended by recent guidelines.Results: Twenty-seven patients were included in this analysis. The median age was 77 (69–83) years. The median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score on admission was 15 (10–21.25), while the median door-to-puncture, door-to-reperfusion, and onset-to-puncture times were 45 (29–63), 140 (100–170), and 120 (71–224) minutes, respectively. The door-to-puncture time was within the recommended time of 60 minutes for approximately 75% of the patients.Conclusions: The door-to-puncture time in our study was shorter than that recommended by the guidelines. Acute ischemic stroke management in a hybrid emergency room could shorten door-to-puncture time, which may contribute to improving patients’ neurological outcomes.
