Abstract The pneumatic tourniquet is used widely in operations involving the limbs. However, despite its everyday use, a clinician's knowledge of this instrument is often confined to the pressure and time limits. Although the principle behind the tourniquet is simple, anaesthetists and surgeons should appreciate the effects of the tourniquet as well ...

Systematic review of prehospital tourniquet use in civilian limb trauma
Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2018BACKGROUND Military enthusiasm for limb tourniquet use in combat casualty care has resulted in acceptance by the trauma community for use in the prehospital care of civilian limb injuries. To date, there has been no report synthesizing the published data

BACKGROUND To date, no civilian studies have demonstrated that pre-hospital (PH) tourniquets improve survival. We hypothesized that late, trauma center (TC) tourniquet use would increase death from hemorrhagic shock compared to early (PH) placement ...

Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine, 2012
Abstract Limb tourniquets are commonly used to help facilitate surgery by producing less blood in the surgical field. This may also shorten operative time and reduce intraoperative blood loss. These advantages need to be weighed against potential complications such as post-tourniquet syndrome, skin damage, deep vein thrombosis, rhabdomyolysis and ...

Missing expectations: Windlass tourniquet use without formal training yields poor results
Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2019BACKGROUND Despite significant attempts to educate civilians in hemorrhage control, the majority remain untrained. We sought to determine if laypersons can successfully apply one of three commercially available tourniquets; including those endorsed by ...

The Foot, 1992
Abstract We have devised a tourniquet that is located around the ankle joint for forefoot surgery under local anaesthesia. It is more comfortable and acceptable to patients than tourniquets applied around the thigh, calf or above the ankle. It is located onto the heel and expands centripetally.
