Key result
Standardized trauma-specific endovascular inventory supports increasing use of basic endovascular techniques among trauma surgeons.
Why the study?
The rapid adoption of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta and catheter-based strategies has increased interest in basic endovascular techniques among trauma surgeons.
This article provides a standardized inventory and setup guide for trauma surgeons performing basic endovascular techniques such as REBOA.
May standardize endovascular supplies for trauma; leaves open prospective validation of outcomes.
We believe that the rapid and widespread adoption of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta as well as enthusiasm for catheter-based strategies has led to increased interest in basic endovascular techniques among trauma surgeons. The aim of this article was to describe the most commonly performed endovascular procedures for trauma patients, the basic capital equipment and room set up, and a parsimonious inventory of disposable supplies needed to perform each procedure. Together, these make a standardized trauma-specific endovascular inventory. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Economic/decision, level V.
