MAST (pants)
Started by Teillard
Obsolete, at our institution we will use binders and REBOA
We talked about this last night during paramedic recert. PASG (MAST) is gone, and I don't think it's ever coming back.

Gone, gone, gone.
Can someone explain the acronyms in this thread to me? I remember "MAST"s... vaguely.
There was a cartoon in the 80's known as "M.A.S.K.", which was also cool for its time.

Military Anti-Shock Trousers. Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment.
So, MAST pants is redundant.

MSFP/PLR?
I've never actually seen MAST.
You're not old enough! I have, in my pre-med EMS days.

Mean Systolic Filling Pressure. Passive Leg Raise.
We had a set under the bench seat of our medic units for the longest time and we checked they were sitting there on our dailys. Ahh, dusty memories.
I actually applied a PASG once when I was a medic (over a decade ago), but we used it to stabilize a suspected pelvic fracture. I do not see these coming back at all for any reason.
Paramedic, or 91A/68W?
As of 3ish years ago, they were mandated by state law to still be on EMS rigs where I worked.

Are these rigs DeLoreans? Because it sounds like some time traveling is going on.
Paramedic (civilian).
I'm recerting paramedic right now!

Mean systemic filling pressure (mean circulatory filling pressure)...it drives venous return.
I found one reference that called it "systolic", or so I thought. Maybe I just bagged it!
Nothing special happened when we got them up to 88... other than a lecture from the boss about safe driving practices.
