- Overall, ~80% of bleeding will be venous and will be controlled by tamponade. In the event that the patient is unstable, arterial bleeding is more likely the culprit.
- Very rare to have an unstable pt, pelvic fracture and no blood in the abdomen - therefore D and F rarely occur.
- Keep in mind angioembolization will only work for arterial bleeding, hence the need to see a blush.
