Objective: The goal of this study was to demonstrate the technical feasibility of automated balloon pressure management during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in the pre-clinical setting.
Methods: This paper presents an intelligent balloon management device which automates the balloon inflation process, preventing the possibility of balloon over or under inflation, optimizes inflation pressure, and if indicated, deflates automating partial REBOA to allow the distal organ perfusion. Edwards TruWave pressure transducers are used to monitor the blood pressure proximal and distal to the balloon, as well as the internal balloon pressure.
