Principles of applying a tourniquet on a course
The exercise begins with a safety assessment: the Participant checks that neither they nor the casualty are exposed to further danger, and calls for help on 999 or 112. In massive bleeding, the basis is direct pressure on the wound, and a tourniquet is used when life-threatening bleeding from a limb occurs. The trainer is used to practise applying a tourniquet.
During the session, the instructor can discuss with the group when to reach for a tourniquet and when pressure is enough. You can find a broader discussion of this topic in the article Massive haemorrhage – first aid. Action taken by a bystander can decide whether the casualty survives, so it is worth practising these steps many times.
