Tourniquet use for civilian extremity hemorrhage: systematic review of the literature

Abstract: Introduction: extremity tourniquet (TQ) use has increased in the civilian setting; the beneficial results observed in the military has influenced acceptance by EMS and bystanders. This review aimed to analyze extremity TQ types used in the civilian setting, injury site, indications, and complications. Methods: a systematic review was conducted based on original articles published in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane following PRISMA guidelines from 2010 to 2019. Data extraction focused on extremity TQ use for he… Show more

“…L'amputazione risulta essere la complicanza più frequente anche se in poche occasioni. Benitez et al [5] hanno condotto una revisione sistematica con l'obiettivo di descrivere e valutare i tipi di tourniquets applicati in ambito civile, il sito della lesione, le indicazioni e le complicanze associate all'applicazione. Sono stati identificati 14 studi osservazionali retrospettivi (3912 vittime analizzate per 3522 tourniquets applicati).…”

“…Prehospital tourniquet application has increased significantly in the last decade, as many emergency medical services (EMS) now routinely carry commercial tourniquets. This has proven to be safe with low rate of complications, and data also suggest that there are associated increased survival benefit, decreased blood loss and decreased limb specific complications [ [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ]. Although the use of tourniquets for pediatric vascular extremity trauma is less well studied, the Pediatric Trauma Society does support its use in the prehospital setting and during the resuscitation of children with exsanguinating hemorrhage from severe extremity trauma [ 10 ].…”
