Zone III REBOA and the COBRA-OS™: Safety of Inadvertent Iliac Artery Device Deployment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta is an emerging technique in trauma. However, inadvertent iliac artery balloon inflation can lead to complications. This study aims to investigate the safety characteristics of the COBRA-OS™ compared with a 7-Fr commercially available device during purposeful iliac artery balloon overinflation. Methods: In vitro: the COBRA-OS™ was inflated in explanted porcine iliac arteries and intentionally overinflated until balloon or vessel rupture occurred. In vivo: the COBRA-OS™ and 7-Fr device were deployed in the iliac arteries and intentionally overinflated until rupture of the balloon or blood vessel. Results: In vitro: an average volume of 1 ml was required for occlusion using the COBRA-OS™ and the mean balloon rupture volume was 32.5 ml. The COBRA-OS™ partially migrated into the aorta in all cases. In vivo: the COBRA-OS™ and 7-Fr device occluded the iliac arteries with a mean volume of 3.5 ml. Overinflation resulted in no iliac ruptures with the COBRA-OS™ (mean balloon rupture volume = 10 ml). Overinflation with the 7-Fr device resulted in 1 iliac rupture at 5 ml. The other two 7-Fr devices had a mean balloon rupture volume of 5 ml. All COBRA-OS™ devices moved partially up into the aorta during inflation while all 7-Fr devices remained in the iliac artery. Conclusions: The COBRA-OS™ allows for significant overinflation when deployed in the common iliac artery of a porcine model due to its unique design. This ultimately may help to prevent balloon and blood vessel rupture during clinical use; however, further studies are required.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
