Tourniquet hemostasis is a simple and effective hemostasis method in the emergency treatment of limb hemorrhage. It can achieve hemostasis by pressing blood vessels to block blood flow. However, if the tourniquet is used improperly or for a long time, it can cause ischemia and necrosis of the distal limb, resulting in disability. Therefore, tourniquet can only be used when the bleeding is violent and other methods cannot stop bleeding.
止血带使用时,皮肤与止血带之间以容一指为宜;止血带固定好后,不可旋转移位;止血带用上后以摸不到远端动脉搏动和使出血停止为度。
When the tourniquet is used, it is appropriate to hold one finger between the skin and the tourniquet; after the tourniquet is fixed, it cannot rotate and shift; after the tourniquet is used, it is necessary to feel the pulsation of the distal artery and stop the bleeding.
