If the patient can be stabilized to some degree, interventional radiology can be very helpful. Unfortunately, it’s generally not feasible to operatively fix the pelvis acutely, and external fixation has limited impact on ongoing hemorrhage. Unfortunately, access after hours involves some degree of time delay.
