  • Title: MAST application in the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in a child.
    Author: Walker LA, MacMath TL, Chipman H, Bayne E.
    Journal: Ann Emerg Med; 1988 May; 17(5):529-31. PubMed ID: 3364835.
    Abstract:
    A case of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) in a child with successful termination of the arrhythmia by military antishock trouser (MAST) application is described. The use of MAST application in terminating PSVT in adults has been previously reported. Ours is the first such case reported using this method in the therapy of PSVT in children. Our report suggests that MAST application may be another maneuver to add to those vagal maneuvers known to be of benefit in the termination of PSVT in children as well as in adults.
