Good day guys. I would like some input from you guys about two questions regarding pelvic binding/splinting especially when using a sheet.
1. When assessing the pelvis (palpating etc) and a "instability"/ fracture is noticed will you then hold the pelvis in that position and then let your partner splint it in that position or is it acceptable to let go of the pelvis and then splint it.
2. Is there any evidence to substantiate your answer in question 1?
3. Is there any evidence to prove that pelvic splinting in the pre-hospital environment is effective at reducing the mortality rate in patients?
Regards
