Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage is a leading cause of mortality in trauma. It is considered the most significant preventable cause of death in trauma patients. Junctional hemorrhages are responsible for approximately 20% of this possibly preventable mortality. At this time, the options for controlling such hemorrhages are either by manual pressure points or the use of junctional tourniquets, which, although they have been proven to be effective, are cumbersome and not readily available to the medical team in the field. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of a new junctional tourniquet (Life Saving Tourniquet, T-W-Medical ltd.) that is simpler to use and can perform both as a regular tourniquet and a junctional one.
不受控制的出血是创伤死亡的主要原因。它被认为是创伤患者中最重要的可预防的死亡原因。在这些本可预防的死亡中，结膜出血约占20%。目前，控制这种出血的办法要么是用手压点，要么是使用结膜止血带，这种方法虽然已被证明是有效的，但很麻烦，外地医疗队不易获得。本研究的目的是评估一种新型结缔组织止血带（Life Saving tourniquet, t - w medical ltd.）的有效性和可行性，该止血带使用更简单，可以同时作为常规止血带和结缔组织止血带。
期刊介绍：
Chinese Journal of Traumatology (CJT, ISSN 1008-1275) was launched in 1998 and is a peer-reviewed English journal authorized by Chinese Association of Trauma, Chinese Medical Association. It is multidisciplinary and designed to provide the most current and relevant information for both the clinical and basic research in the field of traumatic medicine. CJT primarily publishes expert forums, original papers, case reports and so on. Topics cover trauma system and management, surgical procedures, acute care, rehabilitation, post-traumatic complications, translational medicine, traffic medicine and other related areas. The journal especially emphasizes clinical application, technique, surgical video, guideline, recommendations for more effective surgical approaches.
