How and when to reassess, replace and convert your tourniquet

Following the MARCH algorithm set by the CoTCCC, when you get the to "C" portion you are assessing and treating CIRCULATION. One of the objectives here is to assess the effectiveness of any tourniquet applied and to readjust as needed for any changes at hand.
This video runs through the basics for assessing a tourniquet and what adjustments you should make. Remember that any medical intervention you make should be followed up by a reassessment to make sure it is doing what you want it to do.
Train hard. Stay vigilant.

Awesome Video, a follow up video on Triaging would be great to.

Thanks! Yes! That’s a great idea. I’ll start working on an outline for a triage video. So stay tuned for that.

Thanks for the video. When moving down a tourniquet, what time are you taking in account from there? The time written on the first tourniquet or the time the new tourniquet is applied? Or both?

It should still be the time of the original application. If you are using a casualty card or patient care report then document the conversion time on there.
