This study evaluates the use of tourniquets for bleeding control in a rural trauma system, analyzing data from 92 patients treated at a Level I trauma center. The findings indicate that while tourniquets are frequently applied in the prehospital setting, there are instances of non-indicated applications, yet no significant complications arose from these cases. Overall, early tourniquet application is deemed safe and effective, highlighting the need for improved training on proper usage and indications.
