Trauma Series Part 2: Pelvic Trauma with Ash Vasireddy

This is the second in the four-part series on anatomical trauma with some of the world's leading experts in specialist pre-hospital care.

In this episode, we are examining pelvic trauma. In this discussion, I speak with Ash Vasireddy, a fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon at King’s College Hospital, London, specialising in complex fractures. We explore the critical nature of pelvic trauma, covering topics such as pre-hospital prevalence, injury classification, and management strategies, including REBOA's potential in air ambulance services.

In the conversation, Ash shares insights from his extensive experience, including training at major trauma centres in the UK and the US. We also discuss pre-hospital assessment, common issues in orthopaedic trauma, and lessons from practice, concluding with key take-home messages and a review of pelvic fracture classifications.
