Successful Interprofessional Approach to Development of a Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta Program at a Community Trauma Center.

Background: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a relatively innovative procedure designed to control critical non-compressible torso hemorrhage. In the United States, this procedure is currently in active use at only a small number of trauma centers.

Objective: We describe how we developed our REBOA program at an independent academic-affiliated community trauma center.
