  • Title: Military anti-shock garment: Historical relic or a device with unrealized potential?
    Author: Lateef F, Kelvin T.
    Journal: J Emerg Trauma Shock; 2008 Jul; 1(2):63-9. PubMed ID: 19561982.
    Abstract:
    Military anti-shock trousers represents a medical device which has engendered very divergent views, even up to today. From the time the concept was formulated in 1903 by surgeon George W Crile, there have been significant swings in opinion and evidence. The guidelines, where available, are often kept relatively general and cautious. As a spin-off to the mechanism and technology, several alternative devices have been proposed or developed over the years. This include the auto-transfusion torniquet, the non pneumatic anti-shock garment (Life Wrap) and the non inflatable antishock garment, which are discussed in this paper.
