Over the last two years, partial or intermittent REBOA has been
thought to be a significant advantage over complete REBOA. How to do this and how to use our current imperfect catheters in this arena is still in question. Matthew Martin and his colleagues at Madigan Medical Center have published the first study using the Prytime's new catheter for partial REBOA. Zack interviews Matt in this episode about his latest paper in Journal of Trauma and Acute Surgery. Dr. Martin is extensively published in the field and offers his insight in the specific flows that maximize survival within the conflicting problems of hemorrhagic shock and lower body ischemia.
