Resuscitative Airway Management for Massive Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage.
Air Medical Journal · 2018-01-01 · Case report
Abstract
Massive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage represents a highly morbid, resource intensive disease entity that requires rapid diagnostic and therapeutic delivery in parallel with mobilization of in-hospital providers for definitive intervention. This report details a unique case demonstrating exceptional collaboration spanning multiple healthcare systems, a novel use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta, and a discussion on resuscitative airway management in the setting of massive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
