Bleeding Control Questions and Experiments

A friend asked me to put together a presentation covering some of the bleeding-control experiments I’ve done over the years.

It turned out there were quite a few.

The more I test, the more I find that seemingly simple questions about bleeding control can lead to unexpected results—and often to even more questions. This webinar is an attempt to bring some of those experiments, observations, and questions together in one place.

In this webinar we cover:

• Bleeding physiology

• Tourniquet pressure testing experiments

• Analysis of elastic Vs. inelastic

• Reasons for tourniquet failure

• Perspectives on tourniquet conversion

• Tourniquet testing and gaps in the literature

• The value of a direct pressure first approach

• Bias
