Circumferential pelvic antishock sheeting: a temporary resuscitation aid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute traumatic pelvic ring instability causes severe pain and associated hemorrhage. Circumferential pelvic sheeting provides patient comfort and noninvasive, rapid, and temporary pelvic ring stability. A bed sheet is readily available, inexpensive, easily applied around the pelvis, and disposable.

Stabilization of pelvic ring disruptions with a circumferential sheet.
Pelvic ring disruptions in the polytraumatized patient are associated with a mortality rate of up to 25%.1 Acute uncontrolled hemorrhage and its complications are the leading causes of death in these patients.2 Treatment algorithms for resuscitation and control of hemorrhage are aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality. Although variations exist among these algorithms, essentially all include ...
متن کاملEmergent stabilization of pelvic ring injuries by controlled circumferential compression: a clinical trial.
BACKGROUND Pelvic ring injuries are associated with a high incidence of mortality mainly due to retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Early stabilization is an integral part of hemorrhage control. Temporary stabilization can be provided by a pelvic sheet, sling, or an inflatable garment. However, these devices lack control of the applied circumferential compression. We evaluated a pelvic circumferential ...
متن کاملNonpneumatic Antishock Garment Combined with Bakri Balloon as a Nonoperative “Uterine Sandwich” for Temporization of Massive Postpartum Hemorrhage from Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic complication of postpartum hemorrhage. We describe two cases of massive postpartum hemorrhage complicated by DIC that were successfully temporized with combined use of the Bakri balloon and nonpneumatic antishock garment (NASG) during massive transfusion. In the first case, a healthy, term gravida underwent...
