Great video! Well thought through and helpful. Couple thoughts, if applying to a male patient on their leg, be very careful if applying it close to the groin. There’s important parts up there that WILL get crushed if they get caught in the TQ. Second, as others have said, it hurts like nothing else and you just gotta go for it. I have scars still where someone got carried away applying one during a training session. Just gotta go for it.

@@simonsignolet5632 As to the now 27 numpties, I'm not sure what it's like in other countries, but for a while at least here in the UK first aid training discouraged the use of tourniquets for fear of misuse and doing more harm than good. The basic premise was that if you don't need a tourniquet, but put one on, you're potentially killing a limb when it wasn't absolutely necessary. And, if you put one on wrong, it won't do any good and you've wasted time, effort and blood doing something that is ineffective. And there's real danger in taking one off. That should always be done by a professional. Thankfully, the prevailing wisdom is better now and people are taught firstly when the right situation is and secondly how to use them, however the old preconceptions still linger. But, as my instructor said, 'sod the limb, save the life'. Get them to the operating table alive and you've done your job. You're FIRST aid, not PERFECT aid.

It should be uncomfortably tight until it's removed by a medical professional, preferably at a hospital. If you loosen the band, the bleeding will cascade. It's meant to stop the bleeding, so it's not comfortable

@@seankennedy9662 If you actually think that you don't know how to use the RATS, and/or you are just spouting off shit you've seen on internet forums. RATS has and will continue to be used with good results. There is a time and place and reason for all TQs and from the sounds of it, you only carry one type and probably suck with it too. People have survived because of makeshift TQs, but a legit one isn't gonna work at all? Give me a break.

I have a serious question if anyone is looking. What kind of pulse is being referenced? And what is that?
@Narescue014 жыл бұрын
Hi Diane. The pulse that the video references is the “distal pulse”. This simply means that it is distant from the torso and would include locations such as the wrist and ankle. The science is that by confirming that there is no pulse felt at these locations, you can be sure that any bleeding will be occluded beyond the location where the tourniquet was placed. Hope that helps!
@Corvid4 жыл бұрын
Pulse is pretty easy to stop, bleeding can take crazy tension to stop, I've put two on one arm before, but from what I understand going into shock tends to really shut down all but the biggest arteries, the body is remarkable at prolonging survival when pushed to the limit.

Depends where the wound is. Remember, you're restricting circulation to the entire limb distal to the application site. Leaving as much viable tissue as possible will give the surgeons more options when it comes to amputation and prosthetics later (if needed).
@simonsundy518 Жыл бұрын
High and tight application is a technique used when you don't have time to actually locate the wound. By applying it as high as possible you ensure that you don't place the tourniquet below the wound. If you can strip the patients pants or shirt off and positively identify the location of the wound, 2-3 inches above is perfectly fine to control bleeding. This will also leave enough room to apply a second tourniquet if needed.

You're basically giving the patient a crush injury to stop them bleeding out. The doctors will need to give infusions of certain drugs when the tourniquet is removed to avoid destroying the kidneys with toxins from dead cells.
