A tourniquet can potentially contribute to the formation of a blood clot if it is applied improperly or left on for an extended period. The pressure can restrict blood flow, leading to stasis, which is a risk factor for clot formation. However, in emergency situations, the benefits of using a tourniquet to control severe bleeding typically outweigh the risks. Proper application and timely removal are crucial to minimize complications.
