Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta in the treatment of severe hemorrhagic shock caused by upper gastrointestinal bleeding / 世界急诊医学杂志（英文）

ABSTRACT

@#Hemorrhagic shock is a life-threatening disease often encountered in emergency departments (EDs). Hemorrhagic shock caused by extensive bleeding from multiple sites is often associated with high mortality and morbidity. In recent years, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has been widely used in traumatic hemorrhagic shock and is considered to be an effective resuscitation measure.[1] Some studies reported that REBOA was also effective for non-traumatic hemorrhage.[2,3] In this study, we report a case of hemorrhagic shock caused by acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding that was successfully treated and received REBOA to obtain a transition time. This report may provide feasible options for emergency physicians, gastroenterologists, or surgeons to more actively treat refractory gastrointestinal bleeding.
