Pelvic instability with a low blood pressure is an indication for the use of a PASG. The PASG helps to stabilize pelvic fractures and can help maintain blood pressure. The other findings listed may require immediate interventions, such as fluid resuscitation or pain management, but they are not indications for the use of a PASG. Evisceration of abdominal contents would require immediate surgical intervention.
