• Tourniquets work only on arm and leg injuries; you can't exactly wrap a tight band around a patient's neck and cinch it down to stop the flow of blood.
• When to Use a Tourniquet - Tourniquet application should happen in two cases: If bleeding can not be stopped with direct pressure and elevation when both are applied immediately and simultaneously.
