Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta in a pediatric swine model: Is 60 minutes too long?

Le résumé fourni par la source

BACKGROUND: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is recommended in adults with a noncompressible torso hemorrhage with occlusion times of less than 60 minutes. The tolerable duration in children is unknown. We used a pediatric swine controlled hemorrhage model to evaluate the physiologic effects of 30 minutes and 60 minutes of REBOA. METHODS: Pediatric swine weighing 20 kg to 30 kg underwent a splenectomy and a controlled 60% total blood volume hemorrhage over 30 minutes, followed by either zone 1 REBOA for 30 minutes (30R) or 60 minutes (60R). Swine were then resuscitated with shed blood and received critical care for 240 minutes. RESULTS: During critical care, the 30R group's (n = 3) pH, bicarbonate, base excess, and lactate were no different than baseline, while at the end of critical care, these variables continued to differ from baseline in the 60R group (n = 5) and were worsening (7.4 vs. 7.2, p < 0.001, 30.4 mmol/L vs. 18.4 mmol/L, p < 0.0001, 5.6 mmol/L vs. -8.5 mmol/L, p < 0.0001, 2.4 mmol/L vs. 5.7 mmol/L, p < 0.001, respectively). Compared with baseline, end creatinine and creatinine kinase were elevated in 60R swine (1.0 mg/dL vs. 1.7 mg/dL, p < 0.01 and 335.4 U/L vs. 961.0 U/L, p < 0.001, respectively), but not 30R swine (0.9 mg/dL vs. 1.2 mg/dL, p = 0.06 and 423.7 U/L vs. 769.5 U/L, p = 0.15, respectively). There was no difference in survival time between the 30R and 60R pediatric swine, p = 0.99. CONCLUSION: The physiologic effects of 30 minutes of zone 1 REBOA in pediatric swine mostly resolved during the subsequent 4 hours of critical care, whereas the effects of 60 minutes of REBOA persisted and worsened after 4 hours of critical care. Sixty minutes of zone 1 REBOA may create an irreversible physiologic insult in a pediatric population.
