The first tourniquet is attributed to the French surgeon Dominique Jean Larrey, who developed its practical use during the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century. However, the concept of a tourniquet has been around for centuries, with earlier references in ancient medical texts. Larrey's innovations helped standardize its use in battlefield medicine, significantly improving the treatment of severe limb injuries.

A tourniquet should not be removed at all. Tourniquets are a LAST RESORT method. They are hard to apply, they cause a lot of pain, and they can lead to the loss of any limb below wherever the tourniquet was applied. However, if the choice is your LIFE or your LIMB, choose the life. Apply the tourniquet and tighten it until the bleeding stops. Secure the stick to make sure the tourniquet does not loosen and DO NOT TOUCH IT. Get the victim to a hospital immediately. Once there, the doctors and nurses are trained in how to remove tourniquets and treat the wounds. If you leave a tourniquet on too long, the person might lose their arm/leg/whatever. If you take it off too soon, they can easily bleed to death.
