Early Stabilization & Mobilization in unstable Pelvic Injuries

An 18 year old boy met with an unfortunate accident on the road. He was pillion-riding on a bike which was knocked down by a 4-wheeler near krishnagiri in Tamilnadu. He was immediately rushed to the Govt. Hospital at krishnagiri,initial hemodynamic stabilization was done and was shifted to a major hospital in Bangalore. On evaluation,he was found to have an unstable fracture of the pelvic ring and a closed fracture of the shaft of his right femur. He however.continued to be hemodynamicallly unstable and his Hemoglobin was hovering around 5.5g% inspite of repeated blood transfusions.at this stage,he was transfered to our hospital for angio-embolization of pelvic vessels.At CT angiogram was done here, which did not show any active bleeder. However,there was a large retro-vesical hematoma collection displacing the urinary bladder.The interventional Radiologist opined that angio-embolization was not necessary.

 

He stabilized over the next 3 days with blood transfusion.he was also put on mechanical DVT prophyaxis(Flowtron Pump). On the 4th day after admission here, CT scan was repeated. It did not show any increase in the size of the retro-vesical hematoma. He was taken up for surgery on the same day. open reduction of the symphysical diastasis was done using a Pfannensteil approach and stabilization achieved with a 4 hole plate. Open reduction and anterior double plating of right Sacroiliac joint was done. In the same sitting ORIF of fracture shaft femur was done using a locked intramedullary naill. He was in the ICU for a day,was shifted back to the ward after that.Immediate wheel chair ambulation was started on the first post-op day,along with knee bending and active quadriceps excercises.he was very comfortable with the wheelchair - bed transfer and with the mobilization excerses. He was discharged in a stable condition, 5 days after the surgery.At 6 weeks post-op, he has started walking with the help of a walker frame.

    Когда вы собираетесь в поездку на юг, важно не только продумать маршрут и достопримечательности, но и знать, как сэкономить на транспорте. Такси может стать удобным решением, но цены на услуги могут сильно варьироваться. Вот несколько советов, как выбрать такси и сделать поездку более бюджетной.

    1. Сравнивайте цены в нескольких приложениях. Перед тем как заказать такси, проверьте разные приложения для вызова такси. В таких сервисах, как Yandex.Go, Uber или Bolt, могут быть разные тарифы на один и тот же маршрут. Не поленитесь провести небольшое маркетинговое исследование!

    2. Заказывайте такси заранее. Многие сервисы предлагают более выгодные тарифы для предварительных заказов. Если вы знаете, в какое время вам нужно добраться до точки назначения, сделайте заказ заранее и сэкономьте на расценках по повышенному тарифу.

    3. Ищите акции и скидки. Многие приложения для такси проводят акции, при которых вы можете получить скидку на первую поездку или специальные промокоды для частых пассажиров. Перед поездкой загляните в раздел акций в вашем приложении.

    4. Предпочитайте эконом-класс. Если вас не смущает немного меньшее комфортное время в пути, выберите эконом-класс. Он значительно дешевле, чем стандартные классы, и для коротких расстояний может быть отличным вариантом.

    5. Объединяйтесь с другими пассажирами. Если вы путешествуете с друзьями или знакомыми, заказывайте одно такси на несколько человек. Это не толькоReduce cost per person but also allows for a fun journey together.

    Планируйте свои поездки заранее и следуйте этим простым советам, чтобы сократить расходы на [url=https://taxi-sochi-aeroport.ru]такси Сочи аэропорт[/url] в вашей поездке на юг. Получите максимум удовольствия от поездки, не разоряя при этом свой бюджет.
