One patient received REBOA at the TCH after being transferred from an ACH. This patient’s level of care is registered as ACH in tables 2 and 4, and as TCH in table 3.
ACH, acute care hospital; GI, gastrointestinal; HR, heart rate; PPH, postpartum haemorrhage; PRBCs, packed red blood cells; rAAA, ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm; REBOA, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TCH, tertiary care hospital.
