متن کاملPreperitoneal pelvic packing in patients with hemodynamic instability due to severe pelvic fracture: early experience in a Korean trauma center.
BACKGROUND The mortality rate of patients with hemodynamic instability due to severe pelvic fracture is reported to be 40-60% despite a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Angioembolization and external fixation of the pelvis are the main procedures used to control bleeding in these patients.

متن کاملEarly administration of fibrinogen concentrates improves the short‐term outcomes of severe pelvic fracture patients

Thus, we revised our massive transfusion protocol (MTP) in April 2013 to include early off-label administration of fibrinogen concentrate. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of th...
