Predictability of successful trans-arterial embolization in pelvic fracture bleeding based on patient initial presentation
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine Jan 07, 2018
Tung CC, et al. - This retrospective study was designed to investigate whether the patient data at the initial presentation can predict the success of Trans-arterial embolization (TAE) for pelvic fracture bleeding. The initial presentation findings of a patient with pelvic fracture bleeding correlating with the predictability of successful TAE were: hypothermia prevention with maintenance of the body temperature above 36°C, associated injuries limited to two organ systems, maintenance of the respiratory rate at approximately twenty-two breaths per minute, a sustained systolic blood pressure of approximately 90 mm Hg, maintenance of a heart rate of approximately one hundred beats per minute, a minor head injury with a Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score greater than thirteen and a moderate injury severity score of less than twenty.
