What is a pelvic sling?

A pelvic sling is a prefabricated splinting instrument used in emergency medicine to stabilise and immobilise the pelvis. the medical device can also contribute to initial pain relief and facilitate the transport of the injured person.

When is a pelvic sling used? What is the course of the accident?

A pelvic sling is used in the emergency medical treatment of a potentially fractured pelvis. The application of a pelvic sling is recommended as soon as a pelvic fracture is suspected. This is typically the case in accidents with a high energy turnover and increasing severity of injury:

In the case of trapped car occupants
In the case of unprotected road users involved in an accident (motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians)
In the event of a fall from a great height
In the event of rollover trauma
In the event of explosion injuries
In the event of burial

If there are also external signs of injury and pain in the pelvic area, a pelvic sling is used.

In terms of emergency medicine, this can be attributed to the risk of massive blood loss into the pelvis as a result of a pelvic ring fracture - also known as an open book injury. The aim of the pelvic sling is to straighten the pelvis and return it to its original anatomical position. This can reduce the free space in the pelvis and minimise bleeding.

The correct use of a pelvic sling

Requirements for the application

There are three essential requirements for the correct use of the lap sling, which can be easily memorised using the"three P's":

Pocket: Before use, make sure that trouser and back pockets are emptied to avoid injury from hard objects such as keys or mobile phones.
Penis: It must be ensured that the penis is not trapped in the sling.
Pulse: After the sling has been put on, the pulse check should be carried out on the lower extremities to ensure blood circulation.

Positioning the pelvic sling

The pelvic sling is positioned directly under the patient's pelvis at the level of the greater trochanter. With the patient lying down, the sling is first placed under the knees and then pushed under the pelvis with gentle "sawing movements".

Installation of the sling

When using a SAM Pelvic Sling, the traction strap is passed through the buckle, which should be located approximately above the symphysis. One assistant pulls the strap taut while a second assistant pulls on a strap in the opposite direction to prevent damaging shearing movements. There is an indicator in the buckle that pops out when enough pressure is applied to prevent over-tightening.

Fixation

The drawstring is attached to the sling itself with a Velcro fastener.

How do you apply a pelvic sling correctly?

Empty the trouser and back pockets of the casualty.
Place the sling under the pelvis at the height of the bony prominence of the femur.
Pull the drawstring of the SAM® Pelvic Sling II through the buckle.
One person applies traction to the traction strap. Another person pulls on a strap in the opposite direction.
If sufficient pressure is applied, the indicator pops out and prevents further pulling.
Then secure the pull strap to the sling using the Velcro fastener.
After application, check the pulse of the lower extremities.

What are the risks of a pelvic sling?

There is a risk that the pelvic sling may be applied incorrectly, usually too high. An incorrectly applied pelvic sling can further destabilise the fracture and increase the potential bleeding space. This can also result in pressure damage and damage to the soft tissue.
