DDifficulty 3/5

After correctly applying a suitable tourniquet for life-threatening limb bleeding not controlled by direct pressure, what precaution should you maintain while the help called through 112 arrives?

Correct answer

Do not loosen or remove it, and record application time.

Do not loosen or remove it: record application time and tell the healthcare team. Monitor bleeding control and follow 112 instructions within your training; avoid unnecessary handling. Healthcare professionals should release it. It is not for every bleed and should not be improvised with wire or thin rope.
