L'évolution récente de nos vies quotidiennes m'incite aujourd'hui à vous proposer en lecture des articles qui, auparavant, auraient été considérés comme malvenus et injustifiés.
Nous vivons dès à présent une époque qui impose à chacun(e) de sortir la tête du sable.

Military and law enforcement personnel involved in tactical casualty care, caring for themselves and others on the frontlines, stress the need for all emergency responders to be familiar with lifesaving tourniquets and to practice self-application, single-handed and two-handed application techniques so they can master tourniquet application if they’re severely wounded in a dynamic or active threat environment, or if they have to apply a tourniquet by themselves or in conjunction with others. Emergency responders have to be familiar with tourniquet application because it’s now a primary tool in trauma kits.
This article is not intended to argue for tourniquet use. There are currently several guidelines, articles and publications extolling the benefits, safety and effectiveness of tourniquet use for controlling life-threatening hemorrhage.
