Anti-shock trousers, or military anti-shock trousers (MAST) or pneumatic anti-shock garments (PASG), are medical devices designed to treat hypovolemic shock. Hypovolemic shock happens when an individual's blood volume decreases significantly due to severe bleeding from trauma, surgery, or other medical conditions. Anti-shock trousers consist of a pair of inflatable leggings or pants made of synthetic inflatable air bladders that are applied to a patient's abdomen, pelvis, and lower extremities. The trousers are divided into compartments that can be separately inflated with air using a pump. When the trousers are inflated, they apply pressure to the lower half of the body, including the abdomen and legs.
MAST has been used to increase venous return to the heart until definitive care is given. This, combined with the compression of blood vessels, is considered to cause blood movement from the lower body (such as legs) to the vital organs (brain, lungs, and heart). By doing so, anti-shock trousers help increase blood pressure and maintain perfusion (blood flow) to critical organs, crucial in stabilizing a patient in shock. The structure of an anti-shock trouser makes it comfortable to wear for a patient and avoids the possibility of side effects due to overinflation.
