2024 Update Course Rewind: REBOA use in Pediatric Trauma 2024
Manage episode 448914699 series 2973314
In this recap from our 12th Annual Update Course in Pediatric Surgery, Lizzy Lee introduces a thought-provoking session on Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Aortic Occlusion (REBOA) for pediatric trauma patients, featuring Drs. Regan Williams and Katie Russell. This emerging technique is categorized as both a Black Diamond (unproven) and Blue Square (newer) practice, sparking valuable discussion among trauma surgeons.
Key Points Discussed:
- What is REBOA? A life-saving procedure used to control bleeding by inflating a balloon in the aorta, buying time for surgical intervention.
- Pediatric Use Challenges: REBOA is rarely performed in pediatric hospitals, making rapid application difficult, and there is no clear survival advantage in pediatric cases.
- Clinical Debate: A case study of a 16-year-old trauma patient illustrates the decision-making process, with most surgeons opting for laparotomy over REBOA.
- Algorithm Comparison: When to use REBOA versus resuscitative thoracotomy, based on guidelines from the Western Trauma Association.
