Quick takeaways
- The UK Raboa trial found that Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (Raboa) did not reduce mortality in trauma patients and may even increase it.
- The Cryostat2 trial revealed that the use of early and empirical high-dose cryoprecipitate did not significantly impact mortality in hemorrhagic trauma patients, but sub-analyses showed potential benefit within a specific time window and varied outcomes based on trauma type.

Raboa Trial: Effectiveness of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta in Trauma Patients
The UK Raboa trial examined the effectiveness of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (Raboa) in trauma patients with life-threatening torso hemorrhage. The multicenter randomized clinical trial compared standard care with standard care plus Raboa. The primary outcome measured was all-cause mortality at 90 days. Results showed that the addition of Raboa did not reduce mortality and may even increase it compared to standard care alone. Different factors, such as the level of occlusion and the type of trauma, were considered, but Raboa was found to be potentially harmful overall. More research is needed to understand its effectiveness and identify potential subgroups that might benefit from Raboa.
