Great post Surgicalcric.
That is exactly what I was looking for in my question. I was unsure whether you would attempt any field fixation method /temp. support of the hip before moving the patient onto a stretcher and out of the vehicle.
I was thinking 100mph tape around the thighs with something in between them (small sandbag/or rolled poncho between the knees) to support and fixate the fractured hip. That way you could help reduce further blood loss from occurring due to an open/displaced pelvic fracture. All this after securing his cervical area with a c collar of course.
Anyway, that is why I see the mouths to fix the teeth and jaws AFTER they have been "saved". Thanks again James
Eagle- You know me. I am not afraid to admit ignorance. I always post a disclaimer when I am "out on a limb" though. We all have specialties... mine are just boring.
