The need for a flexible catheter inserted through an introducer and into the femoral artery, maneuvering it into the aorta and inflating a balloon at its tip. This technique/ Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta Catheter will be used in traumatic injured patients that are rapidly bleeding to death from injuries to their chest, abdomen or pelvis.
