University of Texas Dell Medical Center Study on Tourniquet use by Civilians

[TBAR_94]

I will say, in 30 years (almost 31 now), I have never seen anyone die of a singular tension pneumo. TPs are usually accompanied by other things, and those other things are usually the cause of death.

I’m not an expert at all, but I feel like needing to do decompression as a citizen seems like a unicorn scenario. TQs, bandages, gauze and a cell phone seem way more useful than a needle.
