Impact of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta on gastrointestinal function with a matched cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) can temporarily control arterial hemorrhage in torso trauma; however, the abdominal visceral blood flow is also blocked by REBOA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of REBOA on gastrointestinal function.

Methods

A retrospective review identified all trauma patients admitted to our trauma center between 2008 and 2019. We used propensity score matching analysis to compare the gastrointestinal function between subjects who underwent REBOA and those who did not. Data on demographics, feeding intolerance (FI), time to feeding goal achievement, and complications were retrieved.

Results

During the study period, 55 patients underwent REBOA. A total of 1694 patients met the inclusion
