Purpose: The use of prehospital tourniquets (PHTQ) for haemorrhage control in the civilian trauma population has increased over the past decade with some reports documenting the overuse of the device. The aim of this study was to identify the proportion of PHTQ use that is non-indicated and determine how this proportion is changing over time.
Methods: An 11-year retrospective study was performed at a Level-1 Trauma Centre on all trauma patients admitted with a PHTQ.
