EPR uses hypothermia, drugs, and fluids to "buy time" for resuscitative surgery. The resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) device achieves this as well. Other than a scalpel, no specialised surgical equipment is needed for a resuscitative hysterotomy. By way of comparison, see the resuscitative hysterotomy or perimortem caesarean section. Almost 10% of newborns require some resuscitative care. Used as a resuscitative fluid in burn management. The concept of the Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical Team (ERST) has been around for several years.
