Resuscitative Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta in Non-traumatic Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest

If return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is not achieved after advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) is established, a REBOA catheter is inserted via the femoral artery and the aortic balloon inflated, according to a procedure described in a separate document. Ultrasound is used to limit risk related to cannulation and placement of the guidewire.
