How long should a tourniquet be left on a pt arm during venipuncture procedure?
how long should a tourniquet stay on a patients arm:There is no clearcut rule as to how long a tourniquet may be inflated safely, although various investigators have addressed effects of ischemia on muscle and nerve to define a relatively "safe" period of tourniquet hemostasis. In practice, safe tourniquet inflation time depends greatly on the patient's anatomy, age, physical status, and the vascular supply to the extremity. Unless instructed otherwise, report to the surgeon when 60 minutes of tourniquet time has elapsed. There is general agreement that for reasonably healthy adults, 90 minutes should not be exceeded without releasing the tourniquet for a short time.

What happens when a tourniquet is left on too long during a venepuncture?
it causes a hematoma. Yes it does, but it also causes hemoconcentration & hemolysis.If a tourniquet is at high enough pressure and left on long enough, the tissues distal to the tourniquet may develop ischemia and gangrene, resulting in loss of those tissues.
