    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Caregivers improved tourniquet conversion speed with practice. While tourniquets effectively controlled bleeding, converting to pressure dressings showed varied results and was less effective in simulated emergency care scenarios.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical interventions
    • Trauma care
    • Emergency medicine

    Background:

    • Limited data exists for assessing guidelines on replacing field tourniquet use with pressure dressings.
    • This study aimed to evaluate a stepwise procedure for converting tourniquets to pressure dressings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To test caregiver performance in controlling simulated bleeding by converting a tourniquet to a pressure dressing.
    • To assess the effectiveness and efficiency of a novel tourniquet conversion method.

    Main Methods:

    • An experiment involved 15 trials of caregiver tourniquet-to-dressing conversions under simulated battlefield and emergency healthcare conditions.
    • A HapMed Leg Tourniquet Trainer was used to simulate limb amputation and bleeding.
    • Investigator-provided healthcare simulated emergency response.

    Main Results:

    • Mean test time decreased with experience, from 17 minutes initially to ≤7 minutes for the last six tests.
    • Tourniquet use uniformly controlled bleeding (222 ± 18.0mmHg).
    • Conversion to pressure dressing was less effective, with uncontrolled bleeding in one case and initial wrap success in 73% of attempts. Mean dressing pressure was 141 ± 17.6mmHg.

    Conclusions:

    • Caregiver performance in tourniquet conversion improved with experience.
    • Tourniquet application was effective, but conversion to pressure dressings yielded inconsistent and poorer results.
    • The simulated conversion highlighted potential issues with the manikin model and the procedure, suggesting a need for redesign and further development.
