Ever tried to apply a tourniquet that’s just not having it? I had one yesterday that slipped off the arm three times before I could get a clean draw. You’d think it was held together by an ex-patient’s spite. Anyone else have similar equipment battles that turned into comedy gold?
I feel you; my last tourniquet felt like it was auditioning for a role in a slapstick comedy! Ever thought about switching to one of those elastic bands? They seem to have a more cooperative vibe.
, I totally get it! Just yesterday, I had a tourniquet that not only slipped but practically launched itself off the arm like it was training for the Olympics. It drives me nuts when they’re temperamental, especially when you’re racing against the clock. Have you ever tried using two tourniquets?
