How to Apply a Pneumatic Tourniquet?

Applying a pneumatic tourniquet involves several critical steps to ensure its effectiveness and patient safety. First, the limb is elevated to drain venous blood. The cuff is then wrapped snugly around the limb at a specific location, typically above the surgical site. The pressure is set based on the patient's systolic blood pressure and the type of surgery being performed. It is essential to monitor the pressure and duration of application to prevent complications.
