    Area of Science:

    • Medical devices
    • Emergency medicine
    • Human factors engineering

    Background:

    • Tourniquet design variations may influence user learning.
    • Knowledge-of-results (feedback) is hypothesized to be crucial for effective first-use learning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if shared design features facilitate first-use learning across different tourniquet models.
    • To determine the impact of knowledge-of-results on tourniquet application proficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • 64 volunteers applied 8 different tourniquets (CAT7, SOFTTW3/5, TMT, OMT, X8T, Tac RMT, RST) to live thighs.
    • Participants were videoed, and application times and problem occurrences were analyzed.
    • A subset of 10 experienced and 33 no-experience appliers were compared.

    Main Results:

    • No-experience appliers showed faster application times with subsequent uses of similar tourniquets.
    • Occlusion success was higher in experienced users but did not demonstrate first-use learning.
    • Ratcheting-buckle systems showed potential learning, unlike hook-and-loop or windlass-rod systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Knowledge-of-results is essential for tourniquet application learning.
    • Shared design elements enable cross-learning between different tourniquet models.
    • Providing feedback during tourniquet training is vital for improving user performance.
