Abstract
Pelvic fractures are severe traumatic injuries often accompanied by potentially fatal massive bleeding. Rapid control of hemorrhages in prehospital emergency settings is critical for improving outcomes in traumatic bleeding. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a promising technique for controlling active bleeding from pelvic fractures. By inserting a balloon catheter into the aorta, REBOA helps maintain blood flow to vital organs such as the brain and heart. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the initial management of noncompressive trunk hemorrhage caused by pelvic fractures, introduces the technical principles and developments of REBOA, and explores its extensive application in prehospital emergency care. It delves into the operational details and outlines strategies for effectively managing potential complications. We aim to offer a theoretical framework for the future utilization of REBOA in managing uncontrollable hemorrhage associated with pelvic fractures in prehospital emergencies.
