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

Tourniquets Revisited

Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection & Critical Care, 2009
Controversy swirls about optimal control of life-threatening hemorrhage from an injured extremity whether in combat in the Middle East or in trauma care at home. Left unanswered are four critical questions: (1) What is the simplest tourniquet available? (2) Can it be used below the elbow and the knee? (3) Is pain a factor?

Surgical Tourniquets in Orthopaedics [PDF]

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2009
Higher levels of tourniquet pressure and higher pressure gradients beneath tourniquet cuffs are associated with a higher risk of nerve-related injury. Measurement of limb occlusion pressure can help to minimize tourniquet pressure levels and pressure gradients for individual patients and individual surgical procedures. Selective use of pneumatic, wider,

Hygiene of venepuncture tourniquets in Denmark

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2018
Tourniquets are widely used to make the vein more visible prior to blood collection. Venepuncture tourniquets are however a non-sterile and potentially reusable equipment.

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.

Different Width and Tightening System: Emergency Tourniquets on Distal Limb Segments.

Journal of special operations medicine : a peer reviewed journal for SOF medical professionals, 2015
BACKGROUND Tourniquets are used on distal limb segments. We examined calf and forearm use of four thigh-effective, commercial tourniquets with different widths and tightening systems: 3.8 cm windlass Combat Application Tourniquet® (CAT, combattourrniquet.

Procedures under tourniquet

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 ...
