My understanding was that tourniquets were very effective in controlling hemorrhage in limb injuries and that HCA’s should primarily be used as a last resort with respect to limb injuries. From what I have read HCA’s best application is in complicated groin injuries and other injuries where a tourniquet can not be applied and where direct pressure is not stopping the bleeding.
