Emerg Med J. 2013. doi: 10.1136/emermed-2012-2022009 . This was a retrospective cohort study comparing mortality in patients with unstable pelvic fractures treated either with pre-angiography, with angiography, or with pelvic packing. Early mortality within 30 days was significantly decreased in the pelvic packing group; multivariate logistic regression identified pelvic packing as an independent predictive factor of survival at 24 h. Early mortality within 30 days was significantly decreased in the pelvic packing group; multivariate logistic regression identified pelvic packing as an independent predictive factor of survival at 24 h.

Hypotensive resuscitation strategy reduces transfusion requirements and severe postoperative coagulopathy in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock: preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial. J Trauma. 2011;70:652–63. Trauma patients in shock requiring laparotomy or thoratomy were randomized to two groups regarding intraoperative resuscitation: 1) low mean arterial pressure target (MAP) of 50 mmHg vs 2) high MAP target of 65 mmHg. Patients in the LMAP received less blood products and IV fluids intraoperatively, were less likely to develop perioperative coagulopathy, and showed lower early (<24 h) perioperative mortality. Mortality at 30 days was not significantly different between the groups.

Key points include the centering of the sheet at the level of the greater trochanters, securing of the tightened sheet with Kelly clamps, and postsheeting monitoring to avoid the development of pressure ulceration.

Direct retroperitoneal pelvic packing vs. angiography: a comparison of two management protocols for haemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures. Inj Int J Care Injured. 2009;40:54–60. A retrospective review of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture patients treated with either pelvic packing or early pelvic angiography was performed. The median time to treatment (either packing or angiography, respectively) was shorter in the packing group (45 min vs 130 min for the angiography group). The packing group also had a lower rate of blood transfusions in the 24 h postoperative period. There was no significant difference in the in-hospital mortality between the groups.
