Brief Summary

The investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of early pelvic binder use in emergency management of suspected pelvic trauma, compared with the conventional stepwise approach.

Conditions

Pelvic Fracture

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Blood transfusion

  Pelvic fracture with hemodynamic unstable

  admission

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• admission mortality

  mortality in the same admission

Interventions

pelvic binder DEVICE

The requirement of angioembolization can be predicted by the presence of intravenous contrast extravasation (ICE) on computed tomography (CT)

Also known as: Angiography for TAE

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 90 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

We enrolled trauma patients with initial stabilization using a pelvic binder for suspecting pelvic injury. Inclusion criteria were traumatic injury requiring a trauma team and at least one of the following: loss of consciousness or Glasgow coma score (GCS) \< 13; systolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg; falling from ≥6 m; injury to multiple vital organs; and suspected pelvic injury. Various parameters, including gender, age, mechanism of injury, GCS, mortality, hospital stay, initial vital sign, revised trauma score, injury severity score, and outcome, were assessed and compared with historical controls.

You may qualify if:

• Traumatic injury requiring a trauma team and at least one of the following: loss of consciousness or Glasgow coma score (GCS) \< 13; systolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg; falling from ≥6 m; injury to multiple vital organs; and suspected pelvic injury. -

You may not qualify if:

• Not meet the criteria and loss follow up (transfer to other hospital or data not available) -
