Patient with compound fracture on femur, bleeding profusely. y does he need emergency operation and wht will happen to him if it was delay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood Loss: Bleeding is one of the reasons for an emergency operation. The bleeding will be controlled when the fracture is stabilized. Also, the longer the delay for surgery, the higher the risk of other complications.
