Review: Getting Tourniquets Right = Getting Tourniquets Tight.

Journal of special operations medicine : a peer reviewed journal for SOF medical professionals, 2019
Tourniquet application to stop limb bleeding is conceptually simple, but optimal application technique matters, generally requires training, and is more likely with objective measures of correct application technique.

Testing of Junctional Tourniquets by Medics of the Israeli Defense Force in Control of Simulated Groin Hemorrhage.

Journal of special operations medicine : a peer reviewed journal for SOF medical professionals, 2016
BACKGROUND Junctional hemorrhage is a common cause of battlefield death but little is known about testing of junctional tourniquet models by medics. The purpose of the testing described herein is to assess military experience in junctional tourniquet use

Significant Pressure Loss Occurs Under Tourniquets Within Minutes of Application.

Journal of special operations medicine : a peer reviewed journal for SOF medical professionals, 2017
BACKGROUND Pressure decreases occur after tourniquet application, risking arterial occlusion loss. Our hypothesis was that the decreases could be mathematically described, allowing creation of evidence-based, tourniquet-reassessment- time recommendations.
