Journal Article

Prehospital Tourniquet Use in Operation Iraqi Freedom : Effect on Hemorrhage Control and Outcomes. Discussion

TL;DR: It was hypothesized that prehospital tourniquet use decreased hemorrhage from extremity injuries and saved lives, and was not associated with a substantial increase in adverse limb outcomes, and analysis revealed that four of seven deaths were potentially preventable with functional pre Hospital Tourniquets placement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prehospital tourniquet use in Operation Iraqi Freedom: effect on hemorrhage control and outcomes.

TL;DR: A review of prehospital tourniquet use in World War II and by the Israeli Defense Forces revealed improvements in extremity hemorrhage control and very few adverse adverse events as discussed by the authors.
Journal Article

Practical Use of Emergency Tourniquets to Stop Bleeding in Major Limb Trauma. Discussion

TL;DR: The most effective tourniquets were the Emergency Medical Tourniquet (92%) and the Combat Application Tournique (79%) as discussed by the authors, and there was no apparent association of total tournique time and morbidity.
