Yes - the use of MAST is described in the NYS BLS protocols (in
"hypoperfusion" under special considerations as well as "medical
anti-shock trousers" under SEMAC advisories and bureau of EMS
policies).

Thank you! Now everyone take some time and find that protocol
and read it! You can expect test questions at some point on this
subject matter! :)

MAST are still in the NYS protocol but are no longer required
equipment. Thier use and effectiveness are very limited, and due
to the many contraintacations are no longer supported in local
protocols.
Utica FD removed them when the local protocol change occured.

yes we still use them, at COCVAC they are under the long bench
seat and on the Deerfield rescue they are on the left hand side
compartment in the back i do believe.
