“…Existing research has identified poor accuracy of pelvic binder placement among patients attending hospital with suspected pelvic injuries ( Barnes et al, 2017 ; Bonner et al, 2011 ; Henning et al, 2018 ). There has been little research focusing solely on paramedic-led care, despite recommendations ( Barnes et al, 2017 ), while studies about pelvic binder use in UK HEMS relate to physician-led treatment ( Browne & Corfield, 2016 ; Yong et al, 2016 ). Considering the severe complications documented as a result of inadequate pelvic binder placement, such as pressure sores, tissue necrosis, inadequate pelvic stabilisation and worsening haemorrhage ( Barnes et al, 2017 ; Coccolini et al, 2017 ), the author identified a need for further research relating to paramedic use of pelvic binders.…”
