Tourniquet Placement
I have run into a problem with one of the civilian instructors that I work with, who says that during his 18D training... that he didn't complete, that he was taught, that deliberate tourniquets are supposed to be placed 2-3 inches above the wound. Even if the wound is below the elbow and the knee, where as I was taught that trying to place a tourniquet over Tib/Fib or Radius/Ulna will ultimately fail due to the bones being in the way and will not allow the tourniquet to properly work. If any of you guys could please give me your imput on this I would appreciate it. Thanks
