Bleeding in the retroperitoneal space of the pelvis had been temporarily stopped by stuffing it with large amounts of gauze. Even after the stuffing, it didn't cease bleeding immediately. The retroperitoneal space continued to bleed slowly until it finally stopped.
The pelvic fracture was just one site of bleeding; there were many other bleeding sites on the patient's body. The situation was extremely critical, and there was nothing to be done about it. The rescue team was rapidly advancing the surgery.
After some effort, Director Xu finally removed a blood-covered short rebar and continued to struggle, preparing to remove the second piece of short rebar. Only by removing all the short rebars could he conveniently separate the two long rebars.
