AI Article Synopsis
- Bladder inflation can help stop pelvic bleeding in certain trauma cases, giving doctors time to perform more serious treatments.
- Doctors use an ultrasound to check if the bladder is okay and if there's bleeding around it in injured people.
- The text gives an example of how blowing up the bladder with a special liquid can help control bleeding until doctors can do more advanced procedures.
Article Abstract
Bladder inflation may be a temporizing measure to tamponade pelvic bleeding in select trauma cases to bridge the patient to definitive interventions. Ultrasonographic confirmation of an intact bladder with an adjacent pelvic haematoma in a shocked adult with pelvic fracture is used for subject selection. An illustrative example of physiologic and interventional radiological control of pelvic bleeding following bladder inflation with sterile saline is presented.
