The authors present a brief technique guide for the application of pelvic antishock sheeting. In the hypotensive blunt trauma patient with discernible pelvic instability, this field-acceptable measure may help to attain some degree of retroperitoneal hemostasis via indirect tamponade. The technique is explained and existing literature reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- Seminal vesicle abscess (SVA) is a rare urinary system infection that can lead to serious complications, including acute diffuse peritonitis (ADP), as seen in a male patient with a long-term indwelling urinary catheter.* -
- The patient faced multiple severe issues including pelvic abscess, organ dysfunction, and infection; treatment involved antibiotics, puncture drainage, and appendectomy, leading to his recovery after hospital discharge.* -
- The case highlights the need for careful clinical evaluation and intervention, as SVA can spread in unexpected ways, making accurate diagnosis and effective treatment challenging for healthcare providers.*
Background: The injury mechanism of a pelvic fracture is primarily high-energy injury, and it is easily combined with injuries to other tissues and organs. This study aimed to investigate the clinical effectiveness of early diagnosis and treatment of pelvic fractures and associated injuries in children.
Methods: The diagnosis and treatment of 60 children with pelvic fractures and associated injuries who were admitted to our hospital from January 2005 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.

Pelvic ring fractures range from low-energy falls in the elderly to high-energy mechanisms in young patients. These injuries can be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and are frequently associated with additional injuries. Hemorrhage and resultant hemodynamic instability are often associated with high-energy injuries and require prompt management.
