  • Title: Tourniquets.
    Author: Phillips SH, Lee A.
    Journal: Br J Theatre Nurs; 1991 May; 1(2):13, 16. PubMed ID: 1802056.
    Abstract:
    All tourniquet equipment must be regularly maintained. Cuffs and tubing must be checked for leaks, gauges calibrated regularly and automatic apparatus which depends upon reservoirs of gas must not be allowed to become depleted. A tourniquet is an invaluable piece of equipment when used correctly. Its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages, provided that proper precautions are observed.
