I received trauma training in the last year. Your theories are out of date. And some of your points, like getting back in the fight, are incorrect altogether.
This is correct....Ischemic complications from tourniquet use have been found to be related to the amount of time the tourniquet is left in place. Extensive experience with operative tourniquet use has demonstrated that the incidence of injury is very low with tourniquet times of two hours or less; military experience has confirmed the safety of this two-hour limit in the field. Matter of fact they are now being used daily inside of operating rooms around the world.
