Non-Compressible Hemorrhage

Non-Compressible Hemorrhage

Uncontrolled hemorrhage from vessel injuries within the torso remains a significant source of prehospital trauma mortality. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta can effectively control hemorrhage, but this minimally invasive technique relies heavily upon imaging not available in the field. Our research is focused on the development of fluoroscopy-free endovascular navigation and hemorrhage control devices and techniques.
