Moreover, it describes basic methods for vascular access, methods for REBOA (Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta), endo-grafts and embolization methods, as well as other, more advanced methods for endovascular and hybrid resuscitation (CPR REBOA, ECHMO etc.) from the pre-hospital to the post-surgical phase. As the body of literature in this field has grown considerably over the past five years, the book also focuses on summarizing what is known, what the clinical and research evidence is, and 'how to actually use' the various methods. It will help readers understand basic and advanced modern techniques for bleeding control and modern resuscitation, and how to apply them in clinical practice.

Todd E. Rasmussen, MD, FACS is a Colonel USAF MC, Director of the DoD Combat Casualty Care Research Program in Fort Detrick, Maryland, and a Professor of Surgery at the Uniformed Service University. Further, he currently operates as a surgeon at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Baltimore. He began his surgical training at Wilford Hall Medical Center on Lackland Air Force Base and completed his training in vascular surgery back at Mayo. He was assigned to the National Capital Area two months before 9/11/2001 and after September 11th began caring for the first of the injured returning from Afghanistan at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. Then he initiated a vascular injury and hemorrhage control research and innovation program. His research efforts have resulted in 130 publications, 25 book chapters, 2 textbooks and 4 patents. Colonel Rasmussen served as Deputy Commander of the Army's Institute of Surgical Research in San Antonio and was subsequently assigned to direct the broader DoD Combat Casualty Care Research Program at Fort Detrick. His awards include the Gold Headed Cane for outstanding clinical and academic practice and the Baron Dominique Jean Larrey Award for Excellence in Military Surgery. In 2015 Colonel Rasmussen was recognized as a Hero in Military Medicine by the Center for Public-Private Partnerships.
