Abstract
BACKGROUND Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) could prevent lethal exsanguination and support cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In prehospital trauma and medical emergency settings, a small population with high mortality rates could potentially benefit from early REBOA deployment. However, its use in these situations remains highly disputed. Since publication of the first Delphi study on REBOA, in which consensus was not reached on all addressed topics, new literature has emerged. The aim of this study was to establish consensus on the use and implementation of REBOA in civilian prehospital settings for noncompressible truncal hemorrhage and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as well as for various in-hospital settings. METHODS A Delphi study consisting of three rounds of questionnaires was conducted based on a review of recent literature. REBOA experts with different medical specialties, backgrounds, and work environments were invited for the international panel. Consensus was reached when a minimum of 75% of panelists responded to a question and at least 75% (positive) or less than 25% (negative) of these respondents agreed on the questioned subject. RESULTS Panel members reached consensus on potential (contra)indications, physiological thresholds for patient selection, the use of ultrasound and practical, and technical aspects for early femoral artery access and prehospital REBOA. CONCLUSION The international expert panel agreed that REBOA can be used in civilian prehospital settings for temporary control of noncompressible truncal hemorrhage, provided that personnel are properly trained and protocols are established. For prehospital REBOA and early femoral artery access, consensus was reached on (contra)indications, physiological thresholds and practical aspects. The panel recommends the initiation of a randomized clinical trial investigating the use of prehospital REBOA for noncompressible truncal hemorrhage.

Abstract
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has become part of the arsenal to temporize patients in shock from severe hemorrhage. REBOA is used in trauma to prevent cardiovascular collapse by preserving heart and brain perfusion and minimizing distal hemorrhage until definitive hemorrhage control can be achieved. Significant side effects, including death, ischemia and reperfusion injuries, severe renal and lung damage, limb ischemia and amputations have all been reported. The aim of this article is to provide an update on complications related to REBOA. REBOA has emerged as a critical intervention for managing severe hemorrhagic shock, aiming to temporize patients and prevent cardiovascular collapse until definitive hemorrhage control can be achieved. However, this life-saving procedure is not without its challenges, with significant reported side effects. This review provides an updated overview of complications associated with REBOA. The most prevalent procedure-related complication is distal embolization and lower limb ischemia, with an incidence of 16% (range: 4-52.6%). Vascular and access site complications are also noteworthy, documented in studies with incidence rates varying from 1.2% to 11.1%. Conversely, bleeding-related complications exhibit lower documentation, with incidence rates ranging from 1.4% to 28.6%. Pseudoaneurysms are less likely, with rates ranging from 2% to 14%. A notable incidence of complications arises from lower limb compartment syndrome and lower limb amputation associated with the REBOA procedure. Systemic complications include acute kidney failure, consistently reported across various studies, with incidence rates ranging from 5.6% to 46%, representing one of the most frequently documented systemic complications. Infection and sepsis are also described, with rates ranging from 2% to 36%. Pulmonary-related complications, including acute respiratory distress syndrome and multisystem organ failure, occur in this population at rates ranging from 7.1% to 17.5%. This comprehensive overview underscores the diverse spectrum of complications associated with REBOA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Haemorrhage related to pelvic fractures has been associated with mortality rates of up to 50%. Angioembolisation for the management of pelvic haemorrhage was performed as early as 1972; however, there remains uncertainty over its exact use, timing and priority as a component of modern pelvic management protocols. METHODS We retrospectively analysed cases of angioembolisation for arterial haemorrhage related to pelvic ring fractures at a level 1 trauma centre. Patient demographics were assessed as well as the time taken to reach the interventional radiology (IR) suite from the time of trauma and also arriving at the emergency room (ER). Other factors analysed included the volume of blood products consumed and fracture pattern. RESULTS Fifty-four patients received pelvic angiography for pelvic ring injuries between 2006 and 2021. The average age was 45.1 (20.5) years, with the male to female ratio 2.4:1. Forty (74.1%) of these patients had embolisation to actively bleeding pelvic arterial vessels. Median time to the IR was 4.4 [IQR 3.1-8.1] hours from time of trauma and 2.5 [IQR 2.1-4.2] hours from arrival to ER. The overall mortality rate was 18.5% and the median amount of blood transfused was 4584 mL [IQR 1643.5-8026.5]. In the subset of embolised patients (n = 40), mortality rate was 10% and there was an inverse association between time from ER to IR and volume of blood product consumption (P = 0.024). CONCLUSION Angioembolisation is a life-saving intervention in very severely injured patients and is growing in popularity as a component of modern pelvic trauma management protocols.

Abstract
PURPOSE Unstable pelvic ring injury can result in a life-threatening situation and lead to long-term disability. Established classification systems, recently emerged resuscitative and treatment options as well as techniques, have facilitated expansion in how these injuries can be studied and managed. This study aims to access practice variation in the management of unstable pelvic injuries around the globe. METHODS A standardized questionnaire including 15 questions was developed by experts from the SICOT trauma committee (Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie) and then distributed among members. The survey was conducted online for one month in 2022 with 358 trauma surgeons, encompassing responses from 80 countries (experience > 5 years = 79%). Topics in the questionnaire included surgical and interventional treatment strategies, classification, staging/reconstruction procedures, and preoperative imaging. Answer options for treatment strategies were ranked on a 4-point rating scale with following options: (1) always (A), (2) often (O), (3) seldom (S), and (4) never (N). Stratification was performed according to geographic regions (continents). RESULTS The Young and Burgess (52%) and Tile/AO (47%) classification systems were commonly used. Preoperative three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) scans were utilized by 93% of respondents. Rescue screws (RS), C-clamps (CC), angioembolization (AE), and pelvic packing (PP) were observed to be rarely implemented in practice (A + O: RS = 24%, CC = 25%, AE = 21%, PP = 25%). External fixation was the most common method temporized fixation (A + O = 71%). Percutaneous screw fixation was the most common definitive fixation technique (A + O = 57%). In contrast, 3D navigation techniques were rarely utilized (A + O = 15%). Most standards in treatment of unstable pelvic ring injuries are implemented equally across the globe. The greatest differences were observed in augmented techniques to bleeding control, such as angioembolization and REBOA, more commonly used in Europe (both), North America (both), and Oceania (only angioembolization). CONCLUSION The Young-Burgess and Tile/AO classifications are used approximately equally across the world. Initial non-invasive stabilization with binders and temporary external fixation are commonly utilized, while specific haemorrhage control techniques such as pelvic packing and angioembolization are rarely and REBOA almost never considered. The substantial regional differences' impact on outcomes needs to be further explored.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early patient assessment is relevant for surgical decision making in severely injured patients and early definitive surgery is known to be beneficial in stable patients. The aim of this systematic review is to extract parameters indicative of risk factors for adverse outcome. Moreover, we aim to improve decision making and separate patients who would benefit from early versus staged definitive surgical fixation. METHODS Following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review of peer-reviewed articles in English or German language published between (2000 and 2022) was performed. The primary outcome was the pathophysiological response to polytrauma including coagulopathy, shock/haemorrhage, hypothermia and soft tissue injury (trauma, brain injury, thoracic and abdominal trauma, and musculoskeletal injury) to determine the treatment strategy associated with the least amount of complications. Articles that had used quantitative parameters to distinguish between stable and unstable patients were summarized. Two authors screened articles and discrepancies were resolved by consensus. Quantitative values for relevant parameters indicative of an unstable polytrauma patient were obtained. RESULTS The initial systematic search using MeSH criteria yielded 1550 publications deemed relevant to the following topics (coagulopathy (n = 37), haemorrhage/shock (n = 7), hypothermia (n = 11), soft tissue injury (n = 24)). Thresholds for stable, borderline, unstable and in extremis conditions were defined according to the existing literature as follows: Coagulopathy; International Normalized Ratio (INR) and viscoelastic methods (VEM)/Blood/shock; lactate, systolic blood pressure and haemoglobin, hypothermia; thresholds in degrees Celsius/Soft tissue trauma: traumatic brain injury, thoracic and abdominal trauma and musculoskeletal trauma. CONCLUSION In this systematic literature review, we summarize publications by focusing on different pathways that stimulate pathophysiological cascades and remote organ damage. We propose that these parameters can be used for clinical decision making within the concept of safe definitive surgery (SDS) in the treatment of severely injured patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aortic occlusion (AO) to facilitate the acute resuscitation of trauma and acute care surgery patients in shock remains a controversial topic. Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is an increasingly deployed method of AO. We hypothesized that in patients with non-compressible hemorrhage below the aortic bifurcation, the use of REBOA instead of open AO may be associated with a survival benefit. METHODS From the AAST Aortic Occlusion for Resuscitation in Trauma and Acute Care Surgery (AORTA) registry, we identified 1494 patients requiring AO from 45 Level I and 4 Level II trauma centers. Presentation, intervention, and outcome variables were analyzed to compare REBOA vs open AO in patients with non-compressible hemorrhage below the aortic bifurcation. RESULTS From December 2014 to January 2019, 217 patients with Zone 3 REBOA or Open AO who required pelvic packing, pelvic fixation or pelvic angio-embolization were identified. Of these, 109 AO patients had injuries isolated to below the aortic bifurcation (REBOA, 84; open AO, 25). Patients with intra-abdominal or thoracic sources of bleeding, above deployment Zone 3 were excluded. Overall mortality was lower in the REBOA group (35.% vs 80%, p <.001). Excluding patients who arrived with CPR in progress, the REBOA group had lower mortality (33.33% vs. 68.75%, p = 0.012). Of the survivors, systemic complications were not significantly different between groups. In the REBOA group, 16 patients had complications secondary to vascular access. Intensive care lengths of stay and ventilator days were both significantly shorter in REBOA patients who survived to discharge. CONCLUSIONS This study compared outcomes for patients with hemorrhage below the aortic bifurcation treated with REBOA to those treated with open AO. Survival was significantly higher in REBOA patients compared to open AO patients, while complications in survivors were not different. Given the higher survival in REBOA patients, we conclude that REBOA should be used for patients with hemorrhagic shock secondary to pelvic trauma instead of open AO. LEVEL III EVIDENCE Therapeutic.

Abstract
Background: Trauma center and multidisciplinary management protocols have been proven to improve the outcomes of severely injured patients. Hemorrhage from pelvic injury is associated with high mortality and is a common cause of preventable trauma death. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the establishment of a trauma center and management protocols on the outcomes of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures. Methods: Hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures were reviewed retrospectively over a 10-year period. They were grouped into the pre-phase and post-phase, which were defined as before and after the establishment of a trauma center and protocols, respectively. Basic characteristics and outcomes were compared between periods. Results: This study enrolled a total of 106 patients. Basic and physiological characteristics were not significantly different in both phases. Pre-peritoneal packing and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta were only performed in the post-phase (pre-peritoneal packing, N = 27; resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta, N = 10). In the post-phase, the time from emergency department arrival to hemostatic intervention was significantly shorter (269 ± 132.4 min vs 147.2 ± 95.5 min, p < 0.0001), and mortality due to acute hemorrhage was significantly lower (p = 0.003; absolute risk reduction: 0.22; relative risk reduction: 0.72). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age, injury severity score, and the pre-phase as independent risk factors for mortality. Conclusion: The establishment of a trauma center and multidisciplinary management protocols, such as pre-peritoneal packing and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta, improved the outcomes of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in outcomes for patients with blunt and penetrating vascular injuries of the pelvis. METHODS Data were abstracted from the Trauma Quality Improvement Program database from 2011 to 2015. Patients >18 years with hypogastric, iliac, uterine, or ovarian arterial or venous injuries were included. Individuals with an AIS head or chest score >3 were excluded. RESULTS Of the 2559 patients included, the mean age was 43 years (±19), 75.25% were male, and 32.6% had a comorbidity. 64.9% presented with blunt injury (mean ISS of 23 (±12)). 74.9% experienced a complication. The median hospital length of stay (LOS) and ICU LOS were 10 days and 4 days, respectively. 6.7% had an adverse discharge. Mortality occurred in 8.3%. On bivariate analysis, patients who sustained blunt trauma were older (51 vs 31 years), female (32.7% vs 10.1%), had a higher ISS (25.71 vs 17.65), and had a longer hospital LOS (16.65 vs 13.88). Patients with penetrating trauma had an increased chance of complications (78.4% vs 73.0%) and mortality (10.7% vs 7.0%). Multivariate analysis revealed in patients with blunt injuries have more complications (OR: 1.950 CI: 0.886-4.291 P = .097), a lower ISS (OR: 0.919, CI: 0.908-0.930, P < .001, were more likely to have an adverse discharge (OR: 2.05, CI: 1.62-2.60, P = .000), and had a higher risk of mortality (OR: 4.08 CI: 2.78-6.41 P < .000). CONCLUSION Patients with blunt pelvic vessel injuries are at risk for an increased number of complications and have a higher risk of mortality. Those who survive are more likely to have an adverse discharge.

Abstract
Traumatic pelvic injuries are an important group of acquired pathologies given their frequent association with significant vascular compromise. Potentially fatal as a consequence of rapid hemorrhage, achievement of early hemostasis is a priority; endovascular management of traumatic pelvic arterial injuries is an important potential option for treatment. Precipitated by any number of mechanisms of trauma, pelvic vascular injury necessitates timely patient assessment. Variable patterns of arterial injury may result from blunt, penetrating or iatrogenic trauma. Selection of the most appropriate imaging modality is a priority, ensuring streamlined access to treatment. In the case of CT, this is complemented by acquisition of the most appropriate phase of imaging; review of both arterial and delayed phase imaging improves the accuracy of detection of low-flow hemorrhage. In cases where surgical intervention is not deemed appropriate, endovascular treatment provides an alternative means for cessation of hemorrhage associated with pelvic injuries. This may be achieved in a selective or nonselective manner depending on the patient's clinical status and time constraints. Consequently, a detailed understanding of vascular anatomy is essential, including an appreciation of the normal variant anatomy between males and females. Additional consideration must be given to variant anatomy which may co-exist in both sexes. This review article aims to provide a synopsis of endovascular management of pelvic vascular injury. Through case examples, available treatment options will be discussed, including thrombin injection and transcatheter arterial embolization. Furthermore, potential adverse complications of pelvic arterial embolization will be highlighted. Finally, in view of the potential severity of these injuries, a brief overview of initial management of the hemodynamically unstable patient is provided.

Abstract
Background: Hemorrhage is the leading cause of death in trauma settings. Non-compressible torso hemorrhage, which is caused by abdominopelvic and thoracic injuries, is an important cause of subsequent organ dysfunction and poor outcomes in multiple trauma patients. The management of hemodynamically unstable patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage has changed, and the concept of damage control resuscitation has been developed in the last decades. Currently, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) as a method of temporary stabilization is the modern evolution of bleeding control, and it is in the middle of a paradigm shift as a treatment for non-compressible torso hemorrhage. Despite its effectiveness in patients with hemorrhagic shock, the application of REBOA remains limited because of lack of experience and troubleshooting guidelines. Objectives: The aim of study was to provide useful tips for the implementing a step-by-step procedure for REBOA in various hospital settings and capabilities. Methods: We introduced REBOA procedures using a REBOA-customized 7 Fr balloon catheter through the animation models or radiography from preparation to access, catheter management, and device removal after procedure completed. Results: We have described REBOA procedures as follows: identification of the common femoral artery, arterial access for placement of a guidewire, precautions during a sheath insertion, guidewire and balloon positioning in the aorta, occlusion zones and adjustment of balloon location, REBOA strategy for extending the occlusion time, balloon deflation and removal, sheath removal, and medical records. Conclusion: We believe that the practical tips mentioned in this article will help in performing the REBOA procedure systematically and developing an effective REBOA framework.

Abstract
Background Hemodynamic instability due to torso hemorrhage can be managed with the assistance of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). This is a report of a single-center experience using the ER-REBOA™ catheter for traumatic and non-traumatic cases as an adjunct to hemorrhage control and as part of the EndoVascular resuscitation and Trauma Management (EVTM) concept. The objective of this report is to describe the clinical usage, technical success, results, complications and outcomes of the ER-REBOA™ catheter at Örebro University hospital, a middle-sized university hospital in Europe. Methods Data concerning patients receiving the ER-REBOA™ catheter for any type of hemorrhagic shock and hemodynamic instability at Örebro University hospital in Sweden were collected prospectively from October 2015 to May 2020. Results A total of 24 patients received the ER-REBOA™ catheter (with the intention to use) for traumatic and non-traumatic hemodynamic control; it was used in 22 patients. REBOA was performed or supervised by vascular surgeons using 7–8 Fr sheaths with an anatomic landmark or ultrasound guidance. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased significantly from 50 mmHg (0–63) to 95 mmHg (70–121) post REBOA. In this cohort, distal embolization and balloon rupture due to atherosclerosis were reported in one patient and two patients developed renal failure. There were no cases of balloon migration. Overall 30-day survival was 59%, with 45% for trauma patients and 73% for non-traumatic patients. Responders to REBOA had a significantly lower rate of mortality at both 24 h and 30 days. Conclusions Our clinical data and experience show that the ER-REBOA™ catheter can be used for control of hemodynamic instability and to significantly increase SBP in both traumatic and non-traumatic cases, with relatively few complications. Responders to REBOA have a significantly lower rate of mortality.

Abstract
Pelvic fractures occur in up to 25% of all severely injured trauma patients and its mortality is markedly high despite advances in resuscitation and modernization of surgical techniques due to its inherent blood loss and associated extra-pelvic injuries. Pelvic ring volume increases significantly from fractures and/or ligament disruptions which precludes its inherent ability to self-tamponade resulting in accumulation of hemorrhage in the retroperitoneal space which inevitably leads to hemodynamic instability and the lethal diamond. Pelvic hemorrhage is mainly venous (80%) from the pre-sacral/pre-peritoneal plexus and the remaining 20% is of arterial origin (branches of the internal iliac artery). This reality can be altered via a sequential management approach that is tailored to the specific reality of the treating facility which involves a collaborative effort between orthopedic, trauma and intensive care surgeons. We propose two different management algorithms that specifically address the availability of qualified staff and existing infrastructure: one for the fully equipped trauma center and another for the very common limited resource center.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a minimally invasive procedure being increasingly utilized to prevent patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage from exsanguination. The increased use of REBOA is giving rise to discussion about "Who is and who should be performing it?" METHODS Data from the international ABO (aortic balloon occlusion) Trauma Registry from between November 2014 and April 2020 were analyzed concerning the question: By who, how, and where is REBOA being performed? The registry collects retrospective and prospective data concerning use of REBOA in trauma patients. RESULTS During the study period, 259 patients had been recorded in the registry, 72.5% (n = 188) were males with a median (range) age of 46 (10-96) years. REBOA was performed in the ER in 50.5%, in the OR in 41.5%, and in the angiography suite in 8% of patients. In 54% of the patients REBOA was performed by surgeons (trauma surgeons 28%, vascular surgeons 22%, general surgeons 4%) and in 46% of the patients by non-surgeons (emergency physicians 31%, radiologists 9.5%, anesthetists 5.5%). Common femoral artery (CFA) access was achieved by use of external anatomic landmarks and palpation alone in 119 patients (51%), by cutdown in 57 patients (24%), using ultrasound in 49 patients (21%), and by fluoroscopy in 9 patients (4%). Significant differences between surgeons and non-surgeons were found regarding patient's age, injury severity, access methods, place where REBOA was performed, location patients were taken to from the emergency room, and mortality. CONCLUSION A substantial number of both surgical and non-surgical medical disciplines are successfully performing REBOA to an almost equal extent. Surgical cutdown is used less frequently as access to the CFA compared with reports in older literature and puncture by use of external anatomic landmarks and palpation alone is used with a high rate of success. Instead of discussing "Who should be performing REBOA?" future research should focus on "Which patient benefits most from REBOA?"

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early hemorrhage control is essential to optimal trauma care. Hybrid operating rooms offer early, concomitant performance of advanced angiographic and operative hemostasis techniques, but their clinical impact is unclear. Herein, we present our initial experience with a dedicated, trauma hybrid operating room. STUDY DESIGN This retrospective cohort analysis of 292 adult trauma patients undergoing immediate surgery at a Level I trauma center compared patients managed after implementation of a dedicated, trauma hybrid operating room (n = 186) with historic controls (n = 106). The primary outcomes were time to hemorrhage control (systolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg without ongoing vasopressor or transfusion requirements), early blood product administration, and complication. RESULTS Patient characteristics were similar between cohorts (age 41 years, 25% female, 38% penetrating trauma). The hybrid cohort had lower initial hemoglobin (10.2 vs 11.1 g/dL, p = 0.001) and a greater proportion of patients undergoing resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (9% vs 1%, p = 0.007). Cohorts had similar case mixes and intraoperative consultation with cardiothoracic or vascular surgery (13%). Twenty-one percent of all hybrid cases included angiography. The interval between operating room arrival and hemorrhage control was shorter in the hybrid cohort (49 vs 60 minutes, p = 0.005). From 4 to 24 hours after arrival, the hybrid cohort had fewer red cell (0.0 vs 1.0, p = 0.001) and plasma transfusions (0.0 vs 1.0, p < 0.001). The hybrid cohort had fewer infectious complications (15% vs 27%, p = 0.009) and ventilator days (2.0 vs 3.0, p = 0.011), and similar in-hospital mortality (13% vs 10%, p = 0.579). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of a dedicated, trauma hybrid operating room was associated with earlier hemorrhage control and fewer early blood transfusions, infectious complications, and ventilator days.

Abstract
Background Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) could provide a survival benefit to severely injured patients as it may improve their initial ability to survive the hemorrhagic shock. Although the evidence supporting the use of REBOA is not conclusive, its use has expanded worldwide. We aim to compare the management approaches and clinical outcomes of trauma patients treated with REBOA according to the countries’ income based on the World Bank Country and Lending Groups. Methods We used data from the AORTA (USA) and the ABOTrauma (multinational) registries. Patients were stratified into two groups: (1) high-income countries (HICs) and (2) low-to-middle income countries (LMICs). Propensity score matching extracted 1:1 matched pairs of subjects who were from an LMIC or a HIC based on age, gender, the presence of pupillary response on admission, impeding hypotension (SBP ≤ 80), trauma mechanism, ISS, the necessity of CPR on arrival, the location of REBOA insertion (emergency room or operating room) and the amount of PRBCs transfused in the first 24 h. Logistic regression (LR) was used to examine the association of LMICs and mortality. Results A total of 817 trauma patients from 14 countries were included. Blind percutaneous approach and surgical cutdown were the preferred means of femoral cannulation in HICs and LIMCs, respectively. Patients from LMICs had a significantly higher occurrence of MODS and respiratory failure. LR showed no differences in mortality for LMICs when compared to HICs; neither in the non-matched cohort (OR = 0.63; 95% CI: 0.36‑1.09; p = 0.1) nor in the matched cohort (OR = 1.45; 95% CI: 0.63‑3,33; p = 0.3). Conclusion There is considerable variation in the management practices of REBOA and the outcomes associated with this intervention between HICs and LMICs. Although we found significant differences in multiorgan and respiratory failure rates, there were no differences in the risk-adjusted odds of mortality between the groups analyzed. Trauma surgeons practicing REBOA around the world should joint efforts to standardize the practice of this endovascular technology worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Young-Burgess classification (YB) is a mechanistic system which classifies pelvic ring injuries into anterior-posterior compression (APC), lateral compression (LC), vertical shear (VS) injuries, and combined mechanism (CM). The objective of this study was to identify associated injuries which require urgent operative intervention by YB classification. We hypothesize that YB classification is associated with 1) need for urgent intervention for pelvic fracture-related hemorrhage and 2) patterns of injury complexes requiring surgery. METHODS This is a retrospective study of severely injured trauma patients with pelvic ring injuries who presented to an urban Level-1 trauma center from 2007 to 2017. Associated injuries and procedures were determined by Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and ICD-9/10 codes. YB classes were compared, followed by a cluster analysis to identify injury patterns and association with YB classifications. RESULTS Overall, 135 patients were included. 98 (72%) of patients presented with LC, 16 (12%) with APC, 8 (6%) with VS, and 13 (10%) with CM. VS and APC groups had higher rates of REBOA use compared to LC and CM groups (38% and 31% versus 11% and 0%, respectively, p = 0.01). The CM group, compared to LC, APC, and VS, had higher rates of urgent operative intervention for bleeding control (69% versus 32%, 50% and 43%, respectively, p = 0.01). 39 (29%) patients had a concomitant injury which was identified by CT scan in initial trauma work up and altered management, 46% which merited urgent intervention. On cluster analysis, there were no distinct injury complexes which required urgent operative intervention by YB class. CONCLUSIONS These data failed to identify unique injury complexes which merit urgent operative intervention by YB class. Nearly one in four patients had injuries identified by initial CT imaging which altered initial management, demonstrating the importance of early, full body CT imaging in severely injured patients with pelvic ring injuries.
