antishock
Prevents circulatory collapse
Antishock describes measures designed to prevent or counteract shock—whether mechanical impact or the dangerous medical condition of circulatory collapse.
Antishock trousers compress the lower body to maintain blood pressure.
Antishock packaging cushions fragile items during shipping.
The vehicle's antishock suspension absorbed the rough terrain.
