Abstract:
Unstable pelvic girdle injury combined with severe pelvis related haemorrhage has a high mortality rate. This prognosis can be improved by using the C-clamp according to Ganz. This can be applied while the life saving measures are in progress, and should, if necessary, be combined with a pelvic tamponade. Due to the limited number of patients, trauma centres have the most experience with this technique. In this contribution, we present our standardised application technique, which allows the use of the procedure through well defined clinically recognisable orientation points in the emergency room.
