[Evaluation of the effectiveness of antishock suits at the early stages of the treatment of patients with traumatic shock].

Abstract

The efficacy of the early use of antishock overalls (ASO) as part of intensive care for traumatic shock is assessed in the clinical study performed in 15 patients with severe mechanical trauma complicated with shock. Hemodynamic parameters were compared in groups where ASO was and was not used as part of antishock procedures. High efficacy of ASO use for stabilization of hemodynamic parameters in patients with severe trauma complicated with shock has been demonstrated and the advisability of its use in the complex of intensive care procedures in traumatic shock at prehospital stage has been proved.
