Rationale

The section was expanded to include REBOA, which is a critical component of modern hybrid trauma management. The addition of pre-hospital REBOA evidence from the systematic review by Caicedo et al. (2022) reflects the evolving continuum of care from the field to the hybrid OR. Abbreviations were expanded on first use (REBOA, OR) to meet editorial standards.

<!-- type: treatment -->

* Combination of laparotomyopen +surgical techniques (e.g., laparotomy) and endovascular procedures (e.g., pelvic bleeding controlled with embolization +and external fixation).
* Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is increasingly utilized as a hybrid bridge to definitive hemorrhage control, with emerging evidence supporting its application in civilian pre-hospital settings [@caicedo2022].
* Increasing use in dedicated hybrid ORsoperating rooms (ORs) [@trauma2016]. See [[endovascular trauma management (EVTM)]] for hybrid trauma surgery protocols.
