Initial reports of pneumatic anti-shock garment (PASG) in severely hypotensive patients appeared promising. Nevertheless, large-scale studies in prehospital settings have shown no overall reduction in mortality rates among hypotensive patients with application of the PASG. However, in a subsample of patients with blood pressure < or =50 mmHg, PASG seems to be useful to reduce bleeding and improve survival. To our knowledge, our case report is the first which directly showns on angiography the hemostatic effect of PASG on pelvic trauma bleeding. In spite of its possible complications, PASG remains one of the tools of trained trauma teams who regularly treated severe haemorrhagic shock.

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency. While PPH-related deaths are relatively rare in high-resource settings, PPH continues to be the leading cause of maternal mortality in limited-resource settings. We undertook a systematic review to identify, assess, and synthesise cost-effectiveness evidence on postpartum interventions to prevent, diagnose, or treat PPH.

Article Synopsis
- The Non-pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG) is a critical first aid device that helps manage postpartum hemorrhage by improving blood circulation to vital organs, potentially reducing maternal mortality.
- This study aims to assess the prevalence of NASG use and its influencing factors among obstetric care providers in Ethiopia.
- After a comprehensive literature search, seven studies with 2335 participants indicated that the overall NASG utilization rate in Ethiopia is 43.34%.

Background: A disproportionate burden of maternal deaths occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and obstetric hemorrhage (OH) is a leading cause of excess mortality. In Zambia, most of maternal deaths are directly caused by OH. The Non-Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG) is a first aid tool that uses compression to the abdomen and lower body to stop and reverse hypovolemic shock secondary to OH.

Background: The non-pneumatic anti-shock garment (NASG) is a life-saving device that can help to avoid delays and prevent further complications in the case of obstetric hemorrhage. Although there are many fragmented primary studies on the NASG utilization in Ethiopia, the pooled utilization rate is unknown. In addition, a disagreement was observed among those studies while reporting the associated factors.

Background: Global maternal deaths have either increased or stagnated tragically. Obstetric hemorrhage (OH) remains the major cause of maternal deaths. Non-Pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG) has several positive results in the management of obstetric hemorrhage in resource-limited settings where getting definitive treatments are difficult and limited.
