Tourniquets before hospital: help or hype?

NCT ID NCT04216225

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 55 adults with arm or leg injuries to see if using a tourniquet before reaching the hospital made a difference. Researchers compared those who had a tourniquet placed to those who did not, checking for shock, blood transfusions, and other complications. The goal was to gather information, not to test a new treatment.
