A tourniquet is a constricting or compressing device, specifically a bandage, used to control venous and arterial circulation to an extremity for a period of time. Pressure is applied circumferentially upon the skin and underlying tissues of a limb; this pressure is transferred to the walls of vessels, causing them to become temporarily occluded.
Problems with Tourniquet Use. The majority of external hemorrhage can be controlled by direct pressure. Preventing arterial blood flow to a limb with result in ischaemia (restriction in blood supply). Continuous application for longer than 2 hours can result in permanent nerve injury, muscle injury. Muscle damage is nearly complete by 6 hours, with likely required amputation. The general conclusion is that a tourniquet can be left in place for 2 hours with little risk of permanent ischaemic injury.
