It is also being put out that ischemic damage is rare in instances where TQ's are in place less than 2 hours. This is all applied in the tactical setting, so if I took your statement out of context sir I apologize in advance.
Q: What can be done to mitigate/manage the effects of reperfusion injury in either the tactical or non-tactical setting?

We liked to keep "T" times at or below two hours in surgery.
My point was to be prepared for physical pain one must deal with once a "T" is placed. As Brush Okie pointed out, there are other things that may be of value.
I do think we are getting a bit off topic here but probably worthy of discussuion, IMHO.
