Episode 46 - Pelvic Binders for Hemodynamically Unstable Pelvic Ring Fractures

In follow-up to a recent pro-con debate on the use of pre-hospital pelvic binders, we explore the why, when, and how of pelvic binder placement. From the indications to post-placement considerations and importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of these life-threatening injuries, this episode of Rounds is a great addition to Season 1 Episode 24 Hemodynamically Unstable Pelvic Fractures with Dr. Clay Burlew.
