Supplies you should gather:
REBOA Catheter
REBOA Convenience Kit (contains 7 Fr sheath, introducer needle, guidewire, syringe, saline flushes, suture, scalpel, catheter fastener, and sterile drape)
If you want to use a 5 Fr sheath, you need to get this separately!

Key Steps of the Procedure:
Obtain (early, if possible) common femoral arterial access
Measure the catheter length to the patient
Empty the balloon at the BAL port
Flush the catheter with the arterial line tubing after hooking it up
Insert the catheter using the orange peelaway
Inflate the balloon (remember: start 2, start 8, don't overinflate)
Secure the catheter
