injury, as well as neurologic compromise. Moreover, the release of inammatory mediators from this process com-
due to hyperperfusion such as cerebral edema, intracranial hemorrhage, and myocardial dysfunction.
Future Advances
As we strive to achieve zero preventable deaths from uncon­trolled hemorrhage, the ability to establish aortic occlu­sion for resuscitation both efciently and safely is critical. Though not novel, the utilization of an endovascular bal­loon for aortic occlusion in trauma is a recent phenomenon with increasing popularity as the technology improves and practitioners become more familiar with the technique. Future directions for REBOA include evolution of its tech­nique to prolong physiologically tolerable occlusion times such as via variable aortic occlusion methods and adjunct procedures to minimize reperfusion injury. The successful application of REBOA for traumatic noncompressible torso hemorrhage has led to its consideration in other clinical sce­narios of hemorrhagic shock as well. Ongoing controver­sies such as its use in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation as well as in patients with nontruncal injuries should continue to be examined as increasing clinical data becomes available.

Endovascular Variable Aortic Control

Introduction
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is increasingly utilized for patients with exsan­guinating truncal hemorrhage.1 This treatment has proven effective at rapidly restoring perfusion to the heart and brain, while simultaneously minimizing hemorrhage below the level of occlusion. However, this intervention is encumbered by the progressive ischemic burden that begins at the moment of balloon occlusion.2 To address these issues, partial ow strategies have been developed and tested in applied research models and are increasingly being utilized in the care of patients. To date, these partial ow modalities have been performed manually, which rep­resents a signicant limitation to widespread adoption.3 These limitations include the demand for continuous monitoring of the balloon and the difculty in maintain­ing a stable degree of partial aortic ow. To address some of the fundamental limitations surrounding real-world implementation of these partial ow strategies, the con­cept of endovascular variable aortic control (EVAC) has been developed.4 EVAC is an automated technology that controls aortic ow by precisely regulating ination and deation of a balloon catheter. As it applies to hemor­rhage control, EVAC can specically be used to achieve a low- volume distal aortic ow to strike a delicate balance between ongoing hemorrhage and progressive ischemic injury, a therapeutic modality we have termed regional perfusion optimization (REPO).

The Problems With REBOA
REBOA prolongs survival prior to denitive surgical hemo­stasis by decreasing distal hemorrhage below the level of occlusion and augmenting proximal perfusion to the heart, lungs, and brain. However, the benets of REBOA are quickly offset by progressive ischemia below the level of occlusion (limiting its duration of use to 40 to 60 min­utes; Fig. 12.1).6 Severe hypertension above the balloon may be detrimental to patients with noncompressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) and concomitant traumatic brain injuries. It has been reported that the mortality rate in brain-injured patients requiring REBOA as a resuscitative adjunct approaches 50%,6 with case reports demonstrating increased intracranial hemorrhage volumes after brief peri­ods of REBOA. Physicians within the trauma community have hypothesized that the supraphysiologic blood pressure and carotid blood ow created by REBOA may account for these early clinical ndings.
In addition, complete aortic occlusion with REBOA poses challenges at the time of balloon deation, where abrupt washout of ischemic metabolites during reperfusion can produce life-threatening electrolyte abnormalities and acid-base disturbances. Additionally, balloon deation may result in profound hemodynamic instability, in part due to the loss of distal vascular tone, which is compounded by the ensuing ischemia reperfusion injury (Table 12.1).2 How­ever, this currently remains the most expeditious manner of managing NCTH, particularly in austere environments.
PARTIAL FLOW AS A STRATEGY TO ADDRESS LIMITATIONS OF REBOA
To address these limitations of REBOA, partial REBOA (pREBOA) has been proposed as an alternative to complete occlusion, to avoid both hypotension and hypertension. Additionally, this technique can minimize ischemic injury to downstream organs by allowing some variable amount of blood ow beyond the balloon. In principle, pREBOA involves partial deation of the balloon catheter, typically via means of manual syringe, thereby allowing some blood ow beyond the balloon.7 Titration of the balloon can be performed to target a blood pressure goal above or below the balloon. To date, this procedure remains ill-dened and is performed manually in the clinical setting, with no rm consensus on how it should be implemented to ensure opti­mal outcomes.
Performing pREBOA has signicant limitations regard­less of the methodology used. One principle limitation stems from the inherent challenge of carefully titrating aortic blood ow using a conventional aortic balloon catheter. As an aortic balloon is deated from the state of complete occlusion (no downstream ow), a steep inec­tion point is reached where small changes in balloon lling volume result in large changes in downstream aortic blood ow.8 Additionally, the concurrent decrease in vascular tone below the balloon induced by even brief periods (less than 5 minutes) of complete aortic occlusion can result in signicant decrease in the blood pressure above the balloon during deation. This observation reects the fundamental hemodynamic principle known as Poiseuille’s Law, where ow is proportional to the radius of the vessel to the fourth power. This exponential return of aortic blood ow there­fore necessitates precise titration of balloon lling volume to maintain stable ow rates. Even when balloon titration is performed while already at a partial ow state, very small balloon volume changes (less than 10 µL) can result in mea­surable change in aortic ow, highlighting the need for high delity in this process.4 Achieving this level of delity with

a manual syringe is challenging at best. Optimized balloon designs may improve the deation prole during pREBOA and allow for larger volume changes with lower degrees of change in aortic ow; however, these devices have not made it into clinical practice as of yet.
For these reasons, manual pREBOA requires a skilled end user, which represents a signicant limitation to broader adoption within the trauma community for users with infrequent exposure to this technology. It is also not a prac­tical solution in environments where providers represent a scarce resource, as the constant need to attend to the bal­loon detracts from other vital aspects of patient care and negates the possibility of simultaneously caring for mul­tiple injured patients. Therefore, alternate approaches are needed to enable extending the duration of REBOA-like technologies.
EVAC Concept—Automated Partial Aortic Flow Control
To overcome the limitations associated with manual pREBOA being performed with a conventional compliant aortic occlu­sion balloon, our group developed the concept of EVAC. The EVAC concept was initially developed to further rene our management of NCTH in austere military environments, where delayed transport or prolonged eld care is antici­pated or required, enabling extended duration of interven­tion beyond what is survivable with sustained complete aortic occlusion. Some of the same fundamental benets of
pREBOA can be targeted using the EVAC approach; however, there are fundamental differences that differentiate the two strategies. Most importantly is that EVAC represents an auto­mated process to control aortic ow as opposed to the man­ual aortic ow control achieved with pREBOA. Conceptually, EVAC can be envisioned as a spigot or valve, where ow can be controlled across the full spectrum, from zero ow to full, unimpeded ow. When applied to hemorrhage control, EVAC can achieve very stable hemodynamics below the level of ow restriction, thereby avoiding sudden and abrupt changes in downstream blood ow that could result in clot destabili­zation and exacerbation of hemorrhage.
From our robust experience in performing manual pRE­BOA, frequent “titrations” are required to maintain a stable degree of aortic ow, on the order of every few seconds to several times a minute even during steady state conditions. This frequency can be increased by other factors such as medication administration, uid or blood administration, or acute blood loss. By automating this process of balloon titration, EVAC reduces the burden on the provider from what can be a very time-intensive and task-focused inter­vention. This cognitive and procedural ofoading using automation enables the provider to engage in higher level aspects of direct patient care. Additionally, this capability is appealing for resource-constrained environments because it creates the potential for the provider to intensively sup­port multiple patients simultaneously, thereby serving as a force multiplier.
REGIONAL PERFUSION OPTIMIZATION
EVAC can be conceptualized as a technique to regulate aor­tic ow across the full spectrum, yet the therapeutic goals of EVAC are dened by the context and methods of how this technique is applied. With respect to hemorrhage control and hemodynamic support for hypovolemic patients, our group and others have postulated that delivering a stable, low amount of aortic ow can be used to mitigate the effects of sustained aortic occlusion.9 This conceptual therapy, termed regional perfusion optimization (REPO), embodies physiologic and hemodynamic effects both above and below the level of occlusion, with preference given to the main­tenance of low-volume ow to distal vascular beds. The therapeutic goals of REPO are to (1) minimize tissue isch­emia below the level of occlusion, (2) promote hemostasis or minimize ongoing hemorrhage to prevent exsanguina­tion, and (3) minimize adverse effects on proximal vascular beds, specically severe hypertension and excessive cardiac afterload. The aggregate effect of this therapy is to produce less secondary injury, thereby minimizing the impact of the intervention at the time of reperfusion. In doing so, REPO seeks to minimize subsequent resuscitation requirements and ideally improve survival. Additionally, REPO could be applied prior to the threshold at which one would utilize REBOA as a means of impacting the morbidity associated with large-volume transfusions, vasopressors, and crystal­loids that may be required in the context of higher levels of hemorrhage and ischemic injury. We have found that utiliz­ing the EVAC technique to achieve REPO results in signi­cant decreases in resuscitation requirements (Fig. 12.2).
REPO embodies a ow-based approach to resuscitation, which is optimizing blood ow to downstream tissue beds

based on the patient’s unique physiology. This represents a departure from pressure-based resuscitation paradigms, where blood pressure support or augmentation is the prin­ciple focus of the resuscitative effort. The REPO concept makes the assumption that controlling and optimizing blood ow within a vessel as opposed to blood pressure represents a more valuable surrogate marker for tissue perfusion, the sustainer of organ viability. By delivering a low level of distal blood ow (approximately 10%–20% of native visceral and lower extremity blood ow) to injured tissue beds, our group and others have demonstrated that the ischemic burden of aortic occlusion can be substantially mitigated (Fig. 12.3).11 Additionally, this approach has been shown to result in tol­erable levels of hemorrhage in the context of severe liver and major vascular injury. Taken together, these benecial effects of REPO serve to extend the maximal duration of intervention for REBOA well beyond what can be expected from equivalent durations of complete aortic occlusion.
Although REPO represents a ow-based therapy, it is important to emphasize that direct blood ow measure­ments are not currently easily obtained, making a ow­based resuscitation challenging outside of experimental models. Therefore, it becomes necessary to model ow from

clinically available metrics, specically utilizing blood pressure measurements. It is important to understand how these two distinct hemodynamic values relate and extrinsic factors that inuence this relationship. Under certain conditions, blood pressure and ow correlate in a predictable fashion; however, certain situations make this relationship unpredictable and/or unreliable.
Various interventions inuence this relationship, includ­ing uid, blood, or medications. Additionally, it is important to recognize that partial aortic occlusion creates unique hemodynamic relationships not present in a healthy native aorta. For instance, proximal blood pressure and distal blood pressure tend to directly correlate with blood ow during active volume administration or from volume loss, in the absence of any aortic occlusion or in the presence of a statically held balloon. However, administration of a pure alpha agonist such as phenylephrine (with or without a static balloon) will variably increase systemic vascular resistance, thereby raising blood pressure, yet decreasing blood ow. Active balloon titration results in yet a different hemodynamic effect, producing an increase in proximal blood pressure, a decrease in distal pressure, and a decrease in aortic ow. Inversely, balloon deation tends to result in a decrease in proximal blood pressure, and an increase in both distal pressure and aortic ow.
Although general trends are predictable, meaningful quantication of blood ow based on changes in blood pressure due to these interventions is not feasible in most instances. Nonetheless, our group has evaluated these hemodynamic relationships in a rigorous fashion, reveal­ing some clinically useful insights. We have found that the aortic blood pressure below the balloon correlates in a fairly linear fashion with blood ow beyond the balloon at low-ow states (0%–40% of baseline aortic ow), over an array of hemorrhage volumes (0%–40% total circu­lating blood volume) (Fig. 12.4).12 Such an approach can be implemented clinically by rst measuring the pressure below the occlusion balloon at full occlusion (by denition a zero-ow state), then targeting a distal blood pressure of approximately 7 to 10 mm Hg above the occlusion value, which experimentally results in approximately 5% to 10% of native distal aortic ow. It is important to emphasize that the interventions above may inuence this relationship, thereby requiring periodic assessment of the distal blood pressure at full occlusion, to again re-establish the zero-ow state. Using this principle of targeting a ow range based on the pressure below the level of the balloon enables clinical implementation of REPO in the absence of direct aortic ow measurements.
REPO has been explored in multiple large animal models with varying durations of controlled and uncontrolled hem­orrhage and ischemia. In our initial proof-of-concept exper­iments, REPO was performed using a largely experimental construct, whereby blood was shunted through a custom extracorporeal ow circuit in order to tightly regulate ow. This study utilized a highly lethal liver injury model, that resulted in uniform demise in the absence of interven­tion. Following a brief period of complete aortic occlusion (20 minutes), animals underwent either 70 minutes of con­tinued complete aortic occlusion or REPO (150–300 mL per minute blood ow; approximately 5%–10% of baseline native aortic ow). This prolonged intervention period was

chosen to simulate the reality of modern tactical evacuation on the battleeld, recognizing that application of complete REBOA is not feasible in scenarios where prolonged inter­vention (greater than 60 minutes) is required. Following the uncontrolled hemorrhage period, animals underwent denitive hemorrhage control and a protocolized critical care period, where uid or vasopressor administration/ titration was determined autonomously via an algorithm based on continuous hemodynamic monitoring. The dif­ferences were striking. All but one REPO animal survived the intervention period, with the remainder surviving the duration of the critical care period, compared to only 50% survival for the group who was subjected to 90 minutes of complete aortic occlusion (Fig. 12.5).

Importantly, this study demonstrated that blood ow to the lower torso as low as 10% of baseline ow using the REPO approach was sufcient to offset the deleterious effects of sustained aortic occlusion, including distal ischemia and the supraphysiologic proximal aortic pressure and cardiac afterload induced by sustained complete aortic occlusion.
To evaluate for benet of REPO for durations of interven­tion closer to what could be anticipated during a typical in­hospital scenario, we investigated REPO over a 45-minute intervention period using a controlled hemorrhage model. In this study, critical care interventions were delivered entirely autonomously based on protocolized computer-controlled algorithms and programmable infusion pumps.13 Addition­ally, through continued technological development, REPO was performed using a computer-controlled syringe pump and a readily available, off-the-shelf compliant aortic balloon catheter. Even for this shorter intervention duration, we saw signicant improvement with REPO over complete REBOA for a host of outcome measures. During intervention, REPO animals experienced proximal mean aortic pressures (MAP) closer to normal physiologic range as compared to REBOA. During the critical care phase, REPO animals maintained an average proximal MAP within the goal range and had a higher overall MAP throughout this time period compared to REBOA animals. REPO also resulted in aortic ow rates closer to baseline values, thereby minimizing the hyperemia from low systemic vascular resistance commonly experienced

with ischemia-reperfusion injury. Similarly, REPO reduced the resuscitation requirements for uid and vasopressors substantially and resulted in lower peak and nal lactate levels, providing both indirect and direct evidence of a lower ischemic burden with this approach.
Another group has provided data in support of our nd­ings, showing that 500 mL per minute could be tolerated with acceptable hemorrhage volumes over extended dura­tions of REPO, with uniform survival following hemorrhage control and resuscitation.

Beyond the effects on distal vascular beds, REPO may pro­vide benecial effects on proximal organs as well. In a 2019 study, our group explored the effects of REPO with EVAC compared to complete REBOA on cardiac performance as measured via preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW; a preload-independent measure of cardiac contractility),

obtained using high delity pressure-volume loop measure­ments from the left ventricle. This study demonstrated sig­nicantly reduced cardiac strain with REPO (Table 12.2).15 It is hypothesized that REPO reduces overall cardiac work and strain in part by reducing cardiac afterload. Our obser­vations also suggest that catecholamines elaborated sys­temically in response to profound distal hypotension may result in a disproportionate increase in cardiac output dur­ing complete occlusion, further magnifying the adverse impact on cardiac function.16 Although benecial effects on proximal vascular beds have been demonstrated with REPO, it should be emphasized that a strategy to specically target optimization of proximal hemodynamics will compromise the ability to tightly regulate distal blood ow. For example, if severe proximal hypertension is still present despite allow­ing low-level downstream blood ow with REPO, further balloon deation to mitigate this proximal hypertension will inherently increase downstream blood ow and may incite rebleeding. This may be an acceptable tradeoff based on the scenario, such as when there is concomitant vascu­lar or pulmonary injury above the diaphragm and when ready access to blood products allows for the increased risk of recurrent hemorrhage.
LIMITATIONS OF REPO WITH EVAC AND ALTERNATE APPROACHES
The experience with EVAC and REPO to date has been in applied research models. It remains unclear if the results of these early studies will translate into benecial outcomes for human victims of trauma. Nonetheless, it is clear that REBOA has limitations and requires renement in order to optimize outcomes, which renders approaches such as REPO with EVAC the rational next step for technologic devel­opment. It is also unclear as to whether or not modeling ow based on pressure will be sufcient for clinical use. It
is clear from our experience that the distal pressure/ow relationship is imperfect and will only serve as an estimate of aortic ow, yet it is equally unclear if the delity achieved in the lab is required to achieve acceptable clinical outcomes. Further work is needed in this regard.
Other groups have also proposed the use of intermittent REBOA (iREBOA) as a viable clinical strategy to overcome some of the technical demands imposed by REPO with EVAC, namely the need to achieve stable low-volume ow. This approach involves cyclically deating and re-inating the balloon based on either a specied duration or by the resulting hemodynamic response. Reassuring large animal studies have suggested iREBOA may signicantly expand the duration of intervention to at least 120 minutes; however, the ability of humans to tolerate the massive hemodynamic uctuations that occur with this approach is of signicant concern.
17,18
Moreover, there is signicant risk that any sta­ble clot may become disrupted with an immediate return to a full ow state upon balloon deation. Whereas the binary state of this approach (inated or deated) is technically simple to achieve, there remains a signicant demand by the provider to constantly assess the balloon and the resul­tant hemodynamics. It also creates a challenge in terms of negotiating the management of unstable hemodynam­ics. It would be challenging to distinguish if hypotension upon deation was secondary to low distal vascular tone, whereby balloon ination and/or vasopressor administra­tion would be appropriate or if there was re-bleeding that warranted immediate blood transfusion. This instability and uncertainty does not simplify the process and may cre­ate a more unpredictable situation from a clinical decision­making standpoint. Nonetheless, this approach may serve to unburden the provider from the manual aspects of bal­loon manipulation. Automated technology such as EVAC has been employed experimentally to achieve this type of cyclical balloon ination and deation.

Future Directions
Our group has rened a viable strategy to achieve controlled, titrated distal aortic ow using conventional compliant bal­loon catheters inated with a prototype-grade automated syringe pump. This pump and its associated controller, which automate the process of balloon ination and deation using closed-loop feedback, represent a major advancement for­ward (Fig. 12.6).4 The automated syringe pump is capable of making microliter-sized balloon volume adjustments in a near continuous fashion. However, further technique rene­ment and technological development is required to translate REPO with EVAC into a clinically viable therapy.
EVAC is imminently achievable using conventional pressure­based hemodynamic monitoring, yet the process would be more streamlined if it were feasible to directly measure ow beyond the balloon. There are a variety of established catheter-based technologies that could be employed to enable this. With a broader endorsement of the merits of ow-based resuscitation strategies, this technologic development may become justied.

Selective Aortic Arch Perfusion
JAMES E. MANNING and ED B.G. BARNARD
Introduction
Selective aortic arch perfusion (SAAP) is an emerging endovascular resuscitation technique that provides tem­porary extracorporeal perfusion to the heart and brain during cardiac arrest.1 The aim of SAAP is to reverse the cardiac arrest, resulting in restoration of intrinsic cardiac output with a palpable pulse (a return of spontaneous cir­culation [ROSC]), with a good neurological outcome. SAAP was developed specically as a cardiac arrest therapy and is applicable to both medical cardiac arrest (sudden cardiac death) and hemorrhage-induced (including traumatic) cardiac arrest. The series of SAAP interventions (SAAP modalities) provides a stepwise escalation of aortic bal­loon occlusion and extracorporeal perfusion that generates higher blood ow than that achieved by closed-chest car­diopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The sequence of SAAP modalities are used to achieve a ROSC, or to provide bridging heart and brain perfusion support until cannulation for pro­longed venoarterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) if required. The ability to escalate sequentially through these SAAP modalities has potential utility to better inform the complex risk:benet decision-making of resuscitation inter­ventions in states of severe hemorrhagic shock and car­diac arrest. This chapter will include a description of SAAP and its sequential escalating interventions, the rationale for SAAP in clinical practice, a summary of large-animal laboratory data, an explanation of how SAAP complements other endovascular resuscitation techniques, and the impli­cations for trauma and vascular surgery.
steady infusion of perfusate to maintain aortic valve closure (Fig. 13.3). This step is important, as failure to close the aor­tic valve can lead to regurgitation of the perfusate into the left ventricle, left atrium, and pulmonar y venous system lim­iting the benecial effects of SAAP therapy in cardiac arrest. After the initial bolus, the infusion rate requi red to main­tain closure of the aortic valve can be lower: 10 mL/kg/min has been used in most of the laboratory research studies to date. The key to maintaining competent aortic valve closure is that the subsequent infusion must begin immediately after the bolus, thereby not allowing the aortic pressure to drop and the aortic valve to open.
The initial perfusate is preferably an exogenous oxygen carrier, such as stored (allogeneic) whole blood or packed red blood cells, or a non-blood product, such as a hemo­globin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC) or a peruorocarbon (PFC) emulsion. The perfusate is passed through an oxygen­ator and infused using a pump system. Centrifugal pumps, roller-wheel pumps, and peristaltic pumps have all been used successfully to perform SAAP in laboratory models. Limited experiments to date have also shown that rapid serial boluses performed manually are also effective, but the overall perfusion rate is lower than mechanical pump continuous infusion and the time required to achieve ROSC is generally longer. Nonetheless, in austere environments— such as military theaters and some prehospital settings— manual infusion for SAAP may prove to be most practical.
The Rationale for SAAP
A Description of SAAP
SAAP uses a large-lumen, balloon occlusion catheter inserted into a femoral artery and advanced to the level of the descending thoracic aorta with an insertion length based on body surface measurement (femoral insertion site­to-umbilicus-to-xyphisternal junction). This method posi­tions the SAAP catheter balloon in the aorta between the diaphragm and the left subclavian artery (Fig. 13.1). This leeway in balloon position within the descending thoracic aorta allows for insertion and initiation of resuscitative per­fusion without the need for imaging technology to verify balloon location (Fig. 13.2A,B). When the SAAP catheter balloon is inated, the aortic arch vessels, including the cor­onary, carotid, and vertebral arteries, are relatively isolated for perfusion with an oxygenated perfusate via the central infusion lumen of the SAAP catheter.
After the SAAP catheter balloon is inated, an initial rapid bolus of perfusate (50 mL/2–3 seconds) into the aortic arch is used to close the aortic valve, followed immediately by a

CARDIAC ARREST SURVIVAL
Cardiac arrest is a major public health problem in the United States and throughout the world. According to a 2015 Institute of Medicine Report, there are an estimated 600,000 cardiac arrests each year in the United States alone.2 This includes cardiac arrest due to primary cardiac causes as well as trauma, poisonings, and other etiologies. Of these, approximately 395,000 occur outside of a hospi­tal setting and the survival rate overall for this population is less than 8%. pital cardiac arrests each year with a survival rate of about
