this is pretty cool - 1 page of info

bleeding in the chest and abdomen causes many trauma deaths

doctors can now insert a ballon via a leg artery, and block the blood
flow to the lower body - a fluroscope is required

================

Does anyone have a flurocope on an ambulance yet? How big is a
fluoroscope? Could the ballon be magnetized and tracked with a
compass? Isnt the required distance known before hand? (I dont know
the anatomy of the aorta - so I am basically clueless here - further
research might be required)
