Do pelvic binders reduce mortality from hemorrhage or blood product consumption?
Best available data to date says no, despite this practice being around longer than I've been alive.
If you want to place a pelvic to stabilize the fracture, go for it, but don't delude yourself into thinking there is any data supporting this practice for mortality or blood sparing purposes.
Additionally, one study found that only 1 in 5 were properly placed.
