abstract = {Background: The main cause of mortality after pelvic ring fractures is the acute haemorrhagic shock. The aim of the study was to estimate blood loss using CT and to correlate estimated blood loss to the mortality.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 42 patients with AO/OTA C-type pelvic ring fractures was performed. In total 29 AO/OTA C1-type, 4 C2-type and 9 C3-type fractures were analysed. A CT-volumetric analysis was developed to estimate the early blood loss in the different compartments. The results were correlated to the mortality of the patients.
Results: Significant increases in interstitial free blood volume (392±502.8 vs. 888±663; P},
