       No. It is not part of our protocol.  Utica fd does not carry
       them. Although I believe it is still taught as part of the state
       curriculum.

       If you do not carry MAST pants how would you stabilize a pelvis
       fracture?

       numerous agencies in the region still utilze mast pants as they
       are still part of bls protocol,however ufd no longer carries the
       mast pants on our apparatus.

       i would stabilize the pt on lsb with blankets and pillows
       utililizing the pelvic wrap and provide O2 via nrb and transport
       immediately

       It is up to the agency if they are to be used. UFD does not
       carry anymore. Still taught in state protacal. If a call for
       pelvic fracture could use blankets/or long board with padding.

       I belong to agencies that use them as well as an agency that
       doesn't.  They are still in the protocols, though, but with room
       for regional adaptations.

       In the Clark Mills Fire Department we do not use MAST pants.
       Supporting the pelvic area with blankets on a long board is what
       I would do.
