What can happen if tourniquet tied too tight?
If a tourniquet is tied too tight, it can restrict blood flow too severely, potentially leading to tissue damage and necrosis due to lack of oxygen. Prolonged application may also cause nerve injury and result in permanent loss of function in the affected limb. Additionally, if the tourniquet is removed after a prolonged period, it can lead to a sudden influx of toxins into the bloodstream, known as reperfusion syndrome, which can be life-threatening. Proper application and monitoring are essential to minimize these risks.
What is the term for the small red spots on the skin that are caused by a too tight tourniquet?
The small red spots on the skin caused by a too tight tourniquet are called "petechiae." These tiny pinpoint hemorrhages occur when small blood vessels break due to increased pressure, leading to localized bleeding under the skin. Petechiae can also be associated with other medical conditions, but in this case, they result from the constriction of blood flow.
What is the term called when you leave the tourniquet on too long?
Leaving a tourniquet on too long is referred to as "tourniquet pain" or "tourniquet syndrome." This condition can lead to tissue damage, nerve injury, or muscle necrosis due to restricted blood flow. It's important to release the tourniquet as soon as possible to minimize these risks and restore circulation.
Place where tourniquet is applied in case of bleeding from radial artery?
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 is the proper pressure of a tourniquet in phlebotomy?
In phlebotomy, the tourniquet should be tight enough to obstruct venous outflow, but not tight enough to obstruct arterial flow. Anything less than the systolic blood pressure is ok (i.e. will not obstruct arterial blood flow), but typically much less pressure is needed as veins are a low pressure system.
