Effectiveness and complications of pelvic circumferential compression devices in patients with unstable pelvic fractures: a systematic review of literature.
BACKGROUND Pelvic fractures can cause massive haemorrhage. Early stabilisation and compression of unstable fractures is thought to limit blood loss. Reposition of fracture parts and reduction of pelvic volume may provide haemorrhage control. Several non-invasive techniques for early stabilisation have been proposed, like the specifically designed pelvic circumferential compression devices (PCCD...
متن کاملNoninvasive reduction of open-book pelvic fractures by circumferential compression.
OBJECTIVES To determine the efficacy and optimal application parameters of circumferential compression to reduce external rotation-type pelvic fractures. DESIGN Biomechanical investigation on human cadaveric specimens. SETTING Biomechanics laboratory. INTERVENTION Partially stable and unstable external rotation injuries of the pelvic ring (OTA classification 61-B1 and 61-C1) were created ...
متن کاملMeasurements of the Exerted Pressure by Pelvic Circumferential Compression Devices
BACKGROUND Data on the efficacy and safety of non-invasive Pelvic Circumferential Compression Devices (PCCDs) is limited. Tissue damage may occur if a continuous pressure on the skin exceeding 9.3 kPa is sustained for more than two or three hours. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the pressure build-up at the interface, by measuring the PCCD-induced pressure when applying pulling f...
متن کاملEffectiveness of non invasive external pelvic compression: a systematic review of the literature
INTRODUCTION Pelvic fractures might carry a significant risk of bleeding. A wide variety of pelvic binders together with pelvic sheets are available and offer an adjunct to the initial management of poly-trauma patients with pelvic injuries. These devices are collectively referred to as pelvic circumferential compression devices (PCCDs). The aim of this study was to review the literature for ev...
متن کاملBiochemical Correlations in Polytrauma Patients with Unstable Pelvic Fractures
14 Olivera Lupescu 8 Calea Floreasca, 1 District, 014461, Bucharest, Romania e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Polytrauma represents an association of multiple injuries capable of inducing a systemic response and resulting in a life-threatening condition. Regardless of the different approaches and definitions, the severity of this association, determined by a specific pathophysiology,...
