Definition

A strap and windlass type tourniquet for quickly stopping massive limb haemorrhage.

A strap intended to be wrapped around a patient's limb (arm or leg) and manually tightened to reduce blood circulation to or from the portion of the limb distal to where the device is applied. It has a fastening mechanism that allows adjustments to the degree of tightness.

Instructions for use

ONLY AFTER FAILURE OF A COMPRESSIVE DRESSING in the event of MAJOR BLEEDING of a member, engaging THE VITAL PROGNOSIS

The only exception where you can pose the tourniquet immediately, without trying a compressive dressing: In the triage zone, in case of massive influx and in case of major bleeding which is life-threatening.

  • The installation of an effective tourniquet is always painful: inject 10 mg of morphine in SC before the installation of the tourniquet or immediately after.
  • Position the tourniquet 5 cm above what is bleeding, and never on a joint.
  • Put the tourniquet even on the skin, flat and in tension before tightening it.
  • Tighten the tourniquet by turning the bar and wedging it in one of the 2 fins for the tourniquet until the bleeding stops.
  • NOTE THE TIME OF LAYING on the tourniquet AND in a highly visible manner, for example on the patient's forehead, preceded by the letter H (ex: H: 23:27)
  • Evaluate effectiveness: bleeding should stop
  • If the bleeding continues:
    • Tighten the tourniquet
    • +/- Compressive dressing

MSF requirements

Tourniquets are an effective means of stopping life‐threatening external bleeding from limb injury.

Their application can be life‐saving in some situations.

The pneumatic tourniquet EANETOUR2I- is not adapted for use outside of the operation room. The CAT model is less expensive, less cumbersome in terms of size and easier to put in place in emergency situations.
