ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The widespread use of agricultural machinery in China has increased the incidence of agricultural machinery-related injuries, posing challenges to on-site medical rescue. This study explores resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) as a life-saving intervention for a patient with severe trauma from agricultural machinery. CASEPRESENTATION This study reviews the emergency medical response for a 70-year-old male who suffered machinery entanglement injuries in an agricultural field in western China. The intervention involved a tiered multidisciplinary medical response, including the implementation of REBOA.CONCLUSION:
This case demonstrates the successful use of REBOA in the prehospital setting in China. While prehospital REBOA use is rare, it is increasingly reported in both military and civilian contexts in austere environments in different countries. Further research is required to validate the feasibility and efficacy of REBOA as a prehospital resuscitation strategy.
