Study population: We enrolled trauma patients with initial stabilization using a pelvic binder for suspecting pelvic injury. Inclusion criteria were traumatic injury requiring a trauma team and at least one of the following: loss of consciousness or Glasgow coma score (GCS) < 13; systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg; falling from ≥6 m; injury to multiple vital organs; and suspected pelvic injury. Various parameters, including gender, age, mechanism of injury, GCS, mortality, hospital stay, initial vital sign, revised trauma score, injury severity score, and outcome, were assessed and compared with historical controls.

About this study
Official title: Division of Traumatic and General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center
The investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of early pelvic binder use in emergency management of suspected pelvic trauma, compared with the conventional stepwise approach.
Read the detailed description
There is currently no universal consensus on all aspects of management of pelvic injuries.
Among patients with multiple injuries because of blunt trauma, 5%-16% sustain injuries to the pelvic ring, resulting in a mortality rate of 11%-54% primarily due to hemorrhagic shock. In theory, the reduction and stabilization of the pelvic ring can decrease bleeding from the fracture site, as reduction of pelvic volume has been shown to reduce the extent of hemorrhage from such injuries.The application of a pelvic binder has become part of the emergency care of all trauma patients with suspected pelvic fractures, in both the pre-hospital environment and emergency department (ED). The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the early use of pelvic binders to treat patients with a suspected high risk of pelvic bleeding from blunt force pelvic fractures.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Pelvic Fracture, run by Tri-Service General Hospital (TSGH).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Blood transfusion (time frame: admission). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
