• Reduction and immobilisation using an external fixator may be required to stop the bleeding; angiography and selective embolisation may also be required.
• Do not catheterise if urethral injury is suspected.
• Diagnostic peritoneal lavage may be required and should be performed by a supra-umbilical approach, as a pelvic haematoma may track up the abdominal wall.
