In the case of bleeding from the radial artery, a tourniquet should be applied just above the elbow, on the upper arm. This placement allows for effective control of blood flow from the radial artery while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. It is important to ensure that the tourniquet is tight enough to stop the bleeding but not so tight as to cause additional injury. If possible, seek immediate medical assistance after applying the tourniquet.
What else can I help you with?
Can a tourniquet cause absence of radial pulse?
Yes, a tourniquet can cause the absence of a radial pulse by restricting blood flow to the arm. When applied tightly, it occludes the arteries, preventing blood from reaching the distal tissues, including the radial artery. This can lead to ischemia and loss of pulse in the affected area. However, prolonged use of a tourniquet can also cause tissue damage, so it should be used carefully and for the shortest duration necessary.

You're unable to stop severe bleeding through direct pressure what is your next step?
To stop severe bleeding of the arm, you should apply pressure on the brachial artery of the arm. This will reduce the flow of blood. Alternatively, a Combat Action Tourniquet may be applied to stop bleeding.
Which artery runs in the radial groove with radial nerve?
radial artery
What should you do if the combination of extremity elevation and direct pressure do no control the bleeding?
You can press on the artery supplying the bleed. Assuming this is arterial bleed. For example, if the radial artery is bleeding without contron, pressing on the brachial can help. A turnicket is a last resort and if applied should never be released suddenly for blood will flow out quicker than initially
