Aortic Hemostasis and Resuscitation: Preliminary Experiments Using Selective Aortic Arch Perfusion With Oxygenated Blood and Intra‐aortic Calcium Coadministration in a Model of Hemorrhage‐induced Traumatic Cardiac Arrest

Abstract

Selective aortic arch perfusion with stored whole blood or packed RBCs requires simultaneous intra-aortic calcium infusion to overcome citrate anticoagulant calcium binding, avoid refractory ventricular fibrillation, and allow for ROSC.
