Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest - A Delphi consensus study for uniform data collection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evolving research on resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) as an adjunct treatment for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest mandates uniform recording and reporting of data. A consensus on which variables need to be collected may enable comparing and merging data from different studies. We aimed to establish a standard set of variables to be collected and reported in future REBOA studies in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Methods

A four-round stepwise Delphi consensus process first asked experts to propose without restraint variables for future REBOA research in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The experts then reviewed the variables on a 5-point Likert scale and ≥75% agreement was defined as consensus. First authors of published papers on REB
