Device-induced thrombosis remains a major complication of extracorporeal life support (ECLS). To more thoroughly understand how blood components interact with the artificial surfaces of ECLS circuit components, assessment of clot deposition on these surfaces following clinical use is urgently needed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which produces high-resolution images at nanoscale level, allows visualization and characterization of thrombotic deposits on ECLS circuitry.

- This review evaluates the current use of Resuscitative Endovascular Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) in both out-of-hospital (OOH) and in-hospital (H) settings for blunt and penetrating trauma, highlighting potential areas for future research to enhance its application.
- A literature analysis revealed that REBOA outside of hospitals resulted in a significantly higher survival rate (88.6%) compared to in-hospital cases (50.4%), with different injury types influencing the zones used for occlusion.
- The review suggests that improving REBOA outcomes may hinge on implementing quicker initiation post-injury rather than solely enhancing the REBOA technique itself, emphasizing the
