Subject: The case against tourniquets

Recently, the US and UK military have "rediscovered" tourniquets.  Their use
has been published in meetings around the world and is now spreading to
civilian practice.  ATLS and other groups have spent years campaigning to
remove tourniquets from civilian practice, for good reasons, and now they
are back - with not a shred of evidence to support this reversion.
