Over the last several years, data has suggested that partial or intermittent REBOA may have benefit over complete REBOA.  How to do this and how to use our current imperfect catheters in this arena is still in question.  Dr. Matthew Martin and his colleagues at Madigan Medical Center have published the first study using Prytime’s new catheter for partial REBOA.  Zack interviews Matt in this episode about this latest paper in Journal of Trauma and Acute Surgery as well as several other papers he’s published in the field.  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.
