	Tourniquet
		A tourniquet is a tightly tied band applied around a body part (an arm or a leg) in an attempt to stop severe bleeding or uncontrolled hemorrhage.
		Tourniquets are not used to treat snakebite; a constrictive band intended to slow the spread of poison through the lymphatic system in a snakebite victim should be fairly loose compared to a tourniquet.
		The use of tourniquets is taught to emergency medical technicians including combat lifesavers, and as a part of military first aid in basic training.

		A "tourniquet" is a tightly tied band applied around a body part (an arm or a leg) sometimes used in an attempt to stop severe traumatic bleeding, but also during venipuncture, and other medical procedures.
		The use of a tourniquet by a layperson in countries where it is considered outside the scope of practice of first aid may result in civil lawsuits and/or criminal charges, especially if the application was later found to have been unnecessary.
		Formerly, tourniquets were not used as much, due to the difficulty of transporting the casualty to a skilled physician in time to save the limb.

	THE ARTERIAL TOURNIQUET
		Use of the tourniquet anywhere but on the proximal limbs (upper arm and thigh) is often discouraged because of the increased risk of complications, particularly neurologic injury with distal tourniquets.
		Tourniquet pain develops in up to 66% of patients, 30 to 60 minutes after cuff inflation in patients receiving regional anesthesia to the arm or leg.
		Tourniquet paralysis in the lower extremity secondary to pneumatic tourniquet is exceedingly rare.

		Per usual for such brain-beating fare, Tourniquet's Microscopic View of a Telescopic Realm (the band's first album in nearly eight years) polarizes to the fullest extent both within the genre and the context of the album itself.
		Snake-like, their songs twist and turn every which way, but the structures flow rather ebulliently, riffs racing and punishing at one moment, twinkly quasi-fusion guitars floating down from the ether the other moment.
		Also, unlike such fare, Tourniquet can capably groove at slower tempos, as they do on "Caixa de Raiva" and "Servant of the Bones." However, one caveat emptor is the decidedly Christian-themed lyrics, which often border on preachy cheez, especially during the laughable a cappella intro to "The Tomb of Gilgamesh."

	Apply a Tourniquet
		Longer tourniquet times are certainly possible without injury, but the longer the tourniquet is left in place, the more likely it is that hypoxic muscle injury will occur.
		For that reason, it is important to understand that application of a tourniquet is undertaken only for life-saving reasons, in which the possible loss of a limb is minor in comparison to the alternative (loss of life).
		After applying a tourniquet, place a "T" on the victim's forehead, to indicate that he or she has a tourniquet in place.

	Tourniquet Overview
		A tourniquet can be defined as a constricting or compressing device used to control venous and arterial circulation to an extremity for a period of time.
		In most modern electronic tourniquet systems, the internal electrical pump, pressure display, and pressure regulator are combined in a single instrument in which a microprocessor continuously monitors and compensates for changing levels of pressure in the cuff bladder.
		While some tourniquet systems may provide much in the way of sophisticated safety monitoring and interlocks, perioperative personnel should be aware of potentially hazardous conditions and monitor the tourniquet system during the time the cuff is applied to the patient.

	Tourniquet's Crawl to China
		First off, for those not familiar with Tourniquet, they are a Christian heavy metal band that has been spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to this generation with their unique sound since the early 90's.
		All of the songs on here are of most excellent quality in each of the categories that they fit in, from the soft ballad and delicate acoustic arrangements, to the very loud and sometimes abrasive metal tuneage that they are well know for.
		Tourniquet has shown on this CD that they can be diverse and still do it with class and style — in my opinion, probably more so than any other band.

		In cases of a bleeding emergency, a tourniquet is used to stop the flow of blood if other means, e.g., the application of a pressure bandage to the wound, are not effective.
		In arterial hemorrhage (bright red blood spurting out in jets) the tourniquet is applied above the wound, i.e., between the wound and the heart.
		In hemorrhage from a vein (an even flow of dark red blood) the tourniquet is applied below the wound, i.e., away from the heart.

		Tourniquet is one of the more well-known and popular Christian thrash bands for some time, and with good reason --they are simply excellent.
		Still, this is one of Tourniquet's best discs, and probably their last great work for a long time to come as they would begin to experiment with their sound with each new album.
		Tourniquet was in a transition period during the recording of this disc as they had recently lost their original vocalist and had not yet hooked up with Luke Easter.

		The results were: (1) 17 of 24 (71%) of the tourniquet group had EMG evidence of denervation and a functional capacity of 39% of the normal leg.
		Of the patients on whom a tourniquet was used, total tourniquet time and pressure did not vary significantly between those patients who demonstrated EMG findings and significantly between those patients who demonstrated EMG findings and those who did not.

		Bio: Formed in Los Angeles in 1990, thrash metallists Tourniquet is a trio, featuring members Luke Easter (vocals), Aaron Guerra (guitar, vocals), and Ted Kirkpatrick (drums), the latter who also doubles as the group's main songwriter.

		Tourniquet has issued six releases: 1990's Stop the Bleeding, 1992's Psycho Surgery, 1994's Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance, 1995's Vanishing Lessons, 1997's Crawl to China, and 2000's Microscopic View of Telescopic Realm.

		Up until that point, he added, the tourniquets that were available through the military’s supply system included a cravat-and-stick tourniquet that Soldiers were taught how to use in basic training and the strap-and-buckle tourniquet that dated back to the American Civil War.
		Two studies helped to improve attitudes about tourniquets when both came to the same conclusion: Seven to 10 percent of battlefield deaths in Vietnam and Somalia were caused by profusely bleeding arm or leg wounds, and if a tourniquet had been used, the servicemember would most likely have lived.
		“Tourniquets were rarely seen early in the war, and now it’s abnormal to see a severe extremity injury without a functional tourniquet in place.

	The relationship between tourniquet pressure and underlying soft-tissue pressure - Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics
		It was found that the tissue pressure was consistently lower than the tourniquet pressure and that the percentage of tourniquet pressure reflected in the underlying tissue varied inversely with the circumference of the thigh.
		Clinical relevance: the use of a pneumatic tourniquet is potentially associated with injury to underlying muscles, vessels, and nerves if excessive pressure occurs beneath the tourniquet.
		In order to minimize the risk of soft-tissue injury, the lowest tourniquet pressure that maintains a bloodless field should be used.

	New Tourniquet Issued to Deployed Soldiers - DefendAmerica News Article
		Designed for one-handed application, the tourniquet allows a soldier to apply the tourniquet to himself if needed and replaces the Army’s field-expedient method, where a soldier would use a bandage and a stick to stop blood flow from a wound.
		Working on the same principals as all tourniquets, “(The Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet) is used to stop the bleeding from an extremity and to prevent shock,” said Staff Sgt. Thomas J. Brennan, post-deployment health assessment team noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Multinational Corps-Iraq Surgeon Cell.
		Once the tourniquet has been applied, a pulse needs to be checked on either the hand or foot where the injury is. “No pulse means the tourniquet is working,” Brennan said.
