We use a vacuum mat with two broad and long frac straps to close the book.
Basicaly put the frac staps above and below the iliac crests and fix them
before evacuating the mat. Seems to work well as on monitored casualties
the BP stabilises and PR drops. Other option is MAST but who uses them
anymore.
