Ep044 Arterial Tourniquets

When Direct Pressure is not enough. In this episode of the First Aid Show Daily Minute Podcast, we take a look at arterial tourniquets—a powerful tool for controlling life-threatening bleeding from a limb when direct pressure just isn’t enough.

We cover:
✅ When to use a tourniquet (and when not to)
✅ The difference between commercial and improvised tourniquets
✅ How to apply one effectively—and what to do if it fails
✅ Why recording the time of application is critical

Tourniquets are serious tools for serious bleeding—and knowing how and when to use one could save a life.
