About
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate safety, effectiveness and benefit-risk profile of ResQFoam for the inhospital treatment of exsanguinating, intraabdominal haemorrhage due to trauma in patients where emergent laparotomy is required.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Estimated age of 15 years or older (or subject weight estimated at greater than 50 kg if age is unknown)
Emergent, exsanguinating hemorrhage, from abdominal source as defined by:
Confirmation of abdominal hemorrhage by:
No other known, uncontrolled active sources of hemorrhage
Subject is intubated and sedated per local guidelines
Decision to administer foam is made within 30 minutes of admission to the emergency department.
Decision made to proceed to emergent laparotomy made within 30 minutes of admission to the emergency department.
Definitive surgical care is expected to occur within three hours of foam deployment
Subject must also be receiving concurrent transfusion of fluids or blood products.
Exclusion Criteria:
Known or suspected major diaphragm injury
Known or suspected untreated pneumothorax
Known or suspected untreated hemothorax
Known or suspected blunt or penetrating cardiac or thoracic aortic trauma
Traumatic brain injury resulting in decapitation, visible brain matter or considered non- survivable based on initial physical exam
Received greater than five consecutive minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the pre-emergency department setting
Patients with Pulseless Electrical Activity
Known allergy to isocyanate
Known or suspected pregnancy
History of prior abdominal surgery or evidence of abdominal surgery (scars)
Disrupted abdominal wall that, in the opinion of the investigator would preclude ResQFoam from being adequately contained within the abdominal cavity
Subject in whom the abdominal aortic junctional tourniquet (AAJT) or Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) techniques have been used
Known Prisoners
Subjects with burns > 20% of total body surface area
Subject/legally authorized representative/subject family member purposefully opted out of participation in the study
Known Do Not Resuscitate order (DNR) or Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST)
Known enrollment in another randomized, interventional study
