Population of Interest

Patients diagnosed with pelvic fracture.

Intent  (Expected Outcomes)

1. Patients in the population of interest with hemodynamic instability (SBP <100 or HR>100) receive pelvic stabilization (binder or external fixation).

2. Pelvic fracture patients who remain hemodynamically unstable after 2 units of blood product transfusion undergo hemorrhage control procedure at the same level of care where diagnosed (exploratory laparotomy, preperitoneal packing, REBOA, and/or interventional angiography embolization). 

 

Performance/Adherence Measures

1.  Number and percentage of patients in the population of interest with hemodynamic instability (SBP<100 or HR>100) who receive pelvic stabilization (binder or external fixation). 

2. Number and percentage of patients with pelvic fracture who remain hemodynamically unstable after 2 units of blood product transfusion undergo hemorrhage control procedure at the same level of care where diagnosed (exploratory laparotomy, preperitoneal packing, REBOA, and/or interventional angiography embolization).
