Intro
A talk by Gunnar Sandesjöö at The Big Sick 2023 conference. Kindly shared with permission.
See the TBS23 landing page for the programme and full set of talks.
Synopsis
As long as trauma resuscitation has been a part of the modern medical field, the pelvic fracture has been considered the lethal one. Lots of focus in the emergency room has been directed towards the fracture in itself, just because of an old habit and a misunderstanding of the mechanisms behind the mortality in pelvic trauma. This is all about partly changing the perspective towards a more pathofysiological mind set.
