The emergency management of these patients is challenging and controversial. The key issues in its management are identifying the site（s） of hemorrhage and then controlling the bleeding. Management of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fracture requires a multidisciplinary team. The issues addressed in this management algorithm are diagnostic evaluation, damage controlresuscitation, indications for noninvasive pelvic stabilization, preperitoneal pelvic packing and the critical decisions concerning surgical options and angiography. This review article focuses on the recent body of knowledge on those determinations.展开更多
