Added 2022-12-29 18:48:00 +0000 UTCA tourniquet is a device that is used to constrict 🩸flow to a specific part of the body, typically a limb. Now let’s talk about how to properly use one ‼️ 🩺 Place the tourniquet around the limb, about 2-4 inches above the wound or injury. 🩺Tighten the tourniquet until the 🩸 stops. It is important to stop the 🩸 as quickly as possible, but be aware that the tourniquet should not be left on for more than two hours to avoid damage to the limb. 🩺Secure the tourniquet in place with a knot or a clip to prevent it from slipping. 🩺If possible, mark the time that the tourniquet was applied on the victim's forehead or another visible location. 🩺Seek immediate medical attention. ‼️ It is important to know that the use of a tourniquet should be a last resort, as it can cause serious damage to the limb if left on for too long. If a tourniquet is not available or not effective in stopping the 🩸, direct pressure and elevation of the limb may be used as alternative methods to control!
