Patients where REBOA can be considered:

  1. Traumatic arrest without evidence of thoracic, neck, or upper extremity hemorrhage (closed cardiac compressions must concomitantly be performed).
  2. Severe hemorrhagic shock or suspected impending traumatic arrest with non-compressible truncal hemorrhage below the diaphragm.
  3. Complex lower extremity amputations (high thigh injuries) where tourniquets and junctional tourniquets have been ineffective at hemorrhage control.
