Precautions for Use
Extreme care must be taken when using tourniquets. Minimum cuff pressure
and application time should be used. Monitor time and pressure throughout the
procedure as injury may occur.
WARNINGS:
•
Disconnect the deflated cuff from the fill line connector when a procedure
is completed. Disconnecting a deflated cuff manages potential risks by:
(1) eliminating the risk of injury should a user unintentionally re-inflate a
deflated, unmonitored cuff and (2) providing confirmation that the cuff
deflation sequence has been implemented and completed. Failure to
comply may result in patient injury.
•
At the end of a procedure, as soon as the tourniquet pressure is released,
remove the cuff, sleeve and other underlying materials, as the slightest
impedance of venous return may lead to congestion and pooling of blood
in the operative field. Failure to comply may result in patient injury.
Follow guidelines developed by your institution regarding standards of practice
for tourniquet use. Failure to follow instructions could result in possible
medical complications.
Published tourniquet guidelines and training programs developed by the Association of
periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) provide valuable references and resources to establish
and update guidelines.
