UNASSIGNED: Non-traumatic @entity1167 is a major public health problem that carries an extremely high mortality rate. If we hope to increase the survivability of this condition, it is imperative that alternative methods of treatment are given due consideration. Balloon occlusion of the aorta can be used as a method of circulatory support in the critically ill @entity1 . Intra-aortic balloon pumps have been used to temporize @entity1 in @entity1455 for decades. More recently, resuscitative @entity432 of the aorta (REBOA) has been utilized in the @entity1 in @entity548 or @entity1167 secondary to @entity130 . @entity432 in non-traumatic @entity1167 has the effect of reducing the vascular volume that the generated cardiac output is distributed across. This augments myocardial and cerebral perfusion, increasing the probability of a return to a good quality of life for the @entity1 . This phenomenon has been the subject of numerous animal studies dating back to the early 1980s; however, the @entity1 evidence is limited to several small case series. Animal research has demonstrated improvements in cerebral and coronary perfusion pressure during @entity69339 that lead to statistically significant differences in mortality. Several case series in @entity1 have replicated these findings, suggesting the efficacy of this procedure. The objectives of this review are to: 1) introduce the reader to REBOA 2) review the physiology of NTCA and examine the current limitations of traditional @entity69339 3) summarize the literature regarding the efficacy and feasibility of @entity432 to support traditional @entity69339 .

The role of resuscitative @entity432 of the aorta (REBOA) as an adjunct to @entity69339 in non-traumatic XXXX : A review of key concepts, physiology, current evidence, and future directions.
